Title: Hunting seat
Post by: wood carver 2 on February 22, 2020, 11:53:14 AM: Can anyone recommend a lightweight, hopefully inexpensive hunting stool or chair with a swivel seat for turkey hunting?

Can't remember the name of it but its a lot like this one.......

Ritchie, are you talking about those folding stools with the back legs a bit longer than the front? I have one. Can you shoot a bow off one of those? I have trouble drawing if I’m too low.

Post by: Forwardhandle on February 23, 2020, 05:45:36 AM: I think mine is the same concept but the legs are level I use mind for blind hunting with my 64" thru 58" bows with no issues but I'm pretty tall and a lot of my length is in my upper body (oh boy wait tell Roy reads that) but I shoot at a pretty fair cant there not as comfterable as the stools ! And I think they where really designed for shot gun !

Post by: kennym on February 23, 2020, 08:48:37 AM: Mine has 3 or 4 adjustments on the leg length, so you can level it up . I did add some round plywood to the feet because it sank in the mud sometimes...

Post by: wood carver 2 on February 23, 2020, 07:23:34 PM: I’ll have to try shooting off my low seat, but I do like that three legged chair.
I’m thinking of getting something like a bullhead stakeout blind to go with it.

Title: Re: Hunting seat
Post by: wood carver 2 on February 25, 2020, 04:33:13 PM: The bucket with a swivel seat would be an inexpensive option, but a bit bulky to carry. Especially where I hunt turkeys. It’s really hilly and I need one free hand. I’ve had a couple of wipeouts in those hollers. 🤕

Post by: Roy from Pa on February 26, 2020, 08:33:36 AM: Ok

Find a stump and pretend it swivels:)

Post by: wood carver 2 on February 26, 2020, 04:11:37 PM: Ok smarty pants, that’s not such a bad idea. One of those swivel seat bucket lids on an old stump would work. 👅😁
Dave.

Post by: wood carver 2 on February 26, 2020, 04:13:39 PM: And while I’m sittin there waiting on a big tom, I might just whittle up a thumpin stick from a rotten branch for you.

Post by: wood carver 2 on February 27, 2020, 04:15:53 PM: I have a couple of folding stools similar to those. My old hunting partner and I shot a lot of ducks off those stools. 😊

Post by: Kelly on February 27, 2020, 07:33:35 PM: Yeah, I'm going to make one with a backrest for my bad lower back so then I don't need to have a tree to lean against. Much more options available for natural blinds that way.

Post by: Robertfishes on February 27, 2020, 08:03:08 PM: I got a Millennium G100 swivel seat from Big Jim..not cheap but very comfortable. I have back fusions and can not sit in just any seat. Both seat height and legs are adjustable for uneven ground

Title: Re: Hunting seat
Post by: Orion on March 01, 2020, 12:49:42 PM: X3 on the millennium, but it isn't light or inexpensive. But I sometimes sit all day and the additional comfort and support are worth it.

Post by: YosemiteSam on March 05, 2020, 06:17:13 PM: Cheap foam pad & lots of practice from this seated position. My 62" recurve is nearly horizontal. My short 50" recurve is held exactly the same as when standing. I've taken turkeys with both.
