Title: Which Blind Stools?
Post by: Fritz on April 23, 2010, 05:38:00 PM
Just bought a new Yukon Tracks Enforcer Elite ground blind for me and my son to turkey hunt out of.  Need to pick up a couple of decent, easy to pack stools with backs. Anybody got any suggestions? Don't want to break the bank, of course.

I've been happy with my Double Bull blind seats. They come in two sizes. No problem with the smaller seat other than size. I recently upgraded to the larger seat to accomodate my added bulk. The bigger one runs about $40 at Cabela's, the smaller one about $25. Hope this helps.

I use the fold up camp chairs from wally world, without the arms.  Cheap and work great if you don't have to hall them miles.  For the long hauls I use a 3 leg stool but it doesn't have a back.

I use the DB Magnum. I miss the arms on the camp chairs, but with a bow they just get in my way. The DB Mags. are comfortable.

Thanks for the input, guys. Been looking at the DB stool (regular), but will check out the others as well.

I use the DB reg, my good friend Frassettor uses the DB Mag seat.  I you like the style, Ameristep and many others make a nock off version for much less.

Don't use the ones like me and and friend did today.  One was a chair that came with an Ameristep blind, the other was a simple folding aluminum camp stool.  Both very loud.  

I think I will be carrying some of my gear in a 5 gallon bucket until I figure out something else.

Four stools, I've found the DB to do a good job.

I have both sizes of the DB and they are great. I really like the magnum model.

Check out the Rackpack. It serves as a pack for the blind and folds into a pretty nice chair fully equipped with back and head rest.

Magnus Rackpack!!!!It is a little spendy but man it sits sweet!It also makes it much easier to tote your blind,as well as serving duty as a pack frame.

DB Mag is a great sit for the money. I have a Huntmore 360 but it is BIG bucks and works great also.

The DB regular chair for me. Fastens to my backpack nicely with little added weight. Comfortable long sits. You can't go wrong with one of these chairs!

I agree on the RackPack. They are super comfortable> I will get one someday.

I've got an older yukon and found the db chairs were to low to allow you to shoot while sitting. Be sure to checkout the height of the chairs. I found a longer legged chair and put a pad on top of it.

Although they may not be the most comfortable, I like a 360 swivel type stool.

These worked well for my 260# hunting buddy and me (bit lighter). They have a back, don't sink in mud and were light to carry.
