I have had good luck with a Waldrop-Pack Seat.
My choice is the Redhead Black Out.
I just went through this myself. I am a huge fan of Millennium seats covered in the link provided. Very comfortable, versatile and a bow holder can be added. This seat is worth every penny.

Just picked this up; hunted twice with it. Integral 2000 cubic inch pack, adjustable recline, pretty quiet and plenty comfortable. I use my Millenium tree seat as a semi-permanent and this for "run and gun".
I really like my hammock seat. I can sit for hours without getting uncomfortable and its very compact for easy carry.

Thanks guys for your help
Good post, reminds me I have to make a seat/stool to hunt this swamp by my house. Ground is wet and a regular stool sinks in. Im gonna start on it this week.
I use a 5 gallon bucket with a padded lid. Get a tool bucket pouch from the hardware store to put calls knives saws etc in. Then I have a seat pad with a self supporting back to sit on top of it. Works real well and I can store all of my burlap and para cord in it for making blinds. Rig a shotgun sling and it carries well.
The best ones I have are homemade. I buy a padded swivel boat seat at the outdoor store, and then fabricate my own base with some 1/4' plate, and square tubing.

I'm a big fan of the Huntmore stool. It's comfortable, quiet and built like a tank. I hunt primarily in the Missouri Ozarks where there isn't a flat piece of ground bigger than a postage stamp. The big duck feet and infinitely adjustable legs on the Huntmore make setting this chair up comfortably a breeze.
Here are the reviews I did on this stool

I like the swivel boat seat idea. I just need to figure out a base that has adjustable legs. I hunt a lot of sloping terrain and need that option.
I really like the hammock seat - I made some modifications to mine to make it quieter.

Another vote for the Waldrop pac-seat. I have been very impressed with it versatility. It rides on the back great. Allows you to sit in brush, or lean against a tree, and adjust for roots. I have all but abandoned my tree stands since I got it.
I have a bad lower back, so finding a great chair was very important to me. The Millennium G100 is awesome, but pricy. I bought one last year for antelope blind hunting. I spent up to nine hours in one sit and was not uncomfortable.
I used the 5 gallon bucket a lot. Never liked to carry my bow in one hand and the bucket in the other. Im very embarresed that I never thought of the sling idea. Im going back to the bucket. Only this time Im going to use a taller bucket with a modified lid for more butt area.
If you ever tried the G100, you'd use that bucket for trash. :)
whats a G100
I agree with longbow fanatic 1.
We hunted together for antelope and he could sit a lot longer than anyone I know.
I need to buy one.(Millenium G 100)
Pricey, but lightweight and a really great seat.
O-K. I just googled the g100 hunting chair and no. That thing just screams yuppie, city slicker compound bow. And at $185.00, no not even. Also in the swamp, it looks like it would sink in the mud about a foot.
They also make one which straps to a tree and has the same comfort level for much less. Lots of guys use it for duck hunting, so that one would not sink in the swamp.
If you ever sat in one, you'd know why the guys who have them really like them.
You can use the chair while hunting with a compound, or gun. Yuppies would like it too. Anyone with a butt in the right place would fine the chair comfortable.

:biglaugh:
If it's a yuppie chair...well...then I will just cover it in a black plastic bag and sneak it thru the woods.

Huntmor chair, I have even drifted off to sleep a couple of times in mine. However, I have heard that they are no longer available.

Does anyone know if that is correct?
I have sure gotten a lot of good out of mine. Would hate to think I couldn't replace it sometime down the road... :confused:
I have a Huntmore chair that I have used for a number of years and purchased a Millennium G100 from Big Jim when I was coming through Albany on Tuesday and it is a super comfortable chair & so much more easier to set up than the Huntmore. I cannot wait to use it this spring for turkey hunting.
Hawkeye, Scott Hoffman told me a couple of years ago that he was trying to sell his Huntmore company. If you go to the website it says the company is for sale and the chairs are sold out.
You might try contacting him. His email address is info@huntmore.biz

Thanks, Darren. I just hadn't heard anything about that.
Nole said it all!
I used the millennium chair the entire season last year. I have all the others chairs mentioned and this is by far the easiest to set up and very comfortable. I don't think you can be a yuppie at my age, but I can be comfortable.
