RE: Ever use those fold up chairs for hunting?
My father and I bought a couple of these camo folding chairs for hunting. He cannot get around like he used to, and I am able to drive him within feet of his blind. We use them for both deer and turkey hunting. He gets a kick out of video taping the wildlife he see when he is out. Heck, some of these chairs come with cupholders for him, and a little camo bag that hangs from it to put some of his gear in. They also work great for when a youngster goes with you hunting.

i used one w/armrests and a back once, one of the biggest bucks i ever saw came out of a staging/rub line w/n 50 yards of me, looked right at me, he had no clue, i guess the chair w/me n it was a shape he did not recognize and he had no fear, however being bow season i could not get turned around n the chair 2 make a shot as he passed w/out standing up, when i stood,he broke the run. now when hunting from the ground i get n better cover/or build a blind and sit on the ground or use one of those 3 leg stools w/no sides so i can turn around, they r very portable.

I got one of the all black ones with the arms and a back. It is very comfortable and I killed teh biggest buck of my life this year out of it. I can turn and shoot and I am very happy with it.

I've used one for about 3 years now. Have my permanent stands in place but when I come across an area with alot of sign I need to be comfortable sitting there. I own about 3 of them, sometimes I leave them right in the woods with a garbage bag over them to keep them from getting wet, then I don't have to bring them in everytime I hunt. I have various colors, think one is blue, one green and the other camo.

I never have but there was a guy using one 30 yards from my stand opening morning of gun season.(private property) I didn't run him off because I'm just a kid. I went down the road and took a nap. My cousin (who was pretty mad about 2 trespasser at his stand spot the same morning) asked him to leave. The guy under my stand said he saw 3 or 4 deer. I imagine the guy was fairly comfortable because he was there for a while.
