I don't know about others but i have gone through a dozen folding lawn chairs and they don't hold up to everyday hunting.Also they are somewhat hard to shoot from. I also have a few of those little folding Camo stools and chairs and they are so darn short my legs and back scream at me after sitting in them three hours. Or they sink in the ground.. My wife can't hunt above ground out of tree stands due to injury so she is going to be a ground pounder. We tryed buckets and they aren't cutting it either. Anybody got the ticket we need? Folding and somewhat light weight and not a bear to carry? Looking for ideas. Thank you.
The HuntMore chair. I have one, and love it. I ust never get to sit in it at camp, because it usually has someone elses butt in it.
I made my own Torges seat. Just use some plywood and rope and away you go.

Vic, I've used all listed above and like the Double Bull Chair most of all. I hunt 80% on the ground and find it very comfortable, they also make a magnum now.
I also have a DB and can sit 6 hours before going completely numb. Its the best I have found.
vic the ply seat is good just put some foam on it and ya good ta go. :thumbsup:
I completely had a brain fart and forgot about the Torges seat! It would work great in some of our areas. Even Greywolf said she could handle that. But not so good in others. Thanks Blackhawk for bringing that back to my mind. I'll check out the others above mentioned.
Yea, Jeff. Greywolf Liked that pad idea on that one!! But after we watched the video on the Huntmore chair, you know what my lady wants me to buy her. Thanks alot Grapes, there goes 200.00 dollars.
I have a small 4 leg folding chair that has a back. No arms on the chair so you can shoot a bow no problem. I'll take pix in the day light and post them for you.
I'll be waiting mysticguido! Thanks guys
It's the chair in the middle, I have the other 2 there to show the size. I'll take pix in daylight with me in it and holding a bow to show how I use it..

To help from sinking in to the ground use a piece of carpet little bigger then the space of the feet and You won't sink.
Mysticguido those are ok chairs for you little fellars. But this bear can trash one of those in three days.They always break at the hub joint, or blow out the rivet where the braces cross.
I'm 260# and I have used that chair all the time..
well ya got to keep the little lady happy Bro. :thumbsup:
Here's another vote for the Torges seat.
I'm starting a HuntMore chair fund.
I am using the DB Magnum now but if I can be more comfortable... well I'm worth it..lol
I am also going to try the Torges Tree Seat this year. It looks like it will work well for where I intend to hunt this season.
Check out the Niff T Seat. http://www.nifftseat.com/information.htm I have one and love it. Comfortable and compact. You can sit on it stradling it or side to side.
If you have a medical supply store nearby, take a look there. I bought a bath chair that has adjustable aluminum legs and a plastic seat and back. The legs and back are detachable so that it can be carried in a small duffle bag. The seat is wide and curved providing ample room for a mature gentleman's butt. The price was $59 (also no sales tax - medical supply).
I like the DB Magnum as well. Easy to carry and a lot cheaper than the "Huntmore" which has been getting some negative customer service reviews for a while. Seems they have a problem with a parts supplier. Everywhere I've looked the "Huntmore" is out of stock.
Mr Vic, if you want one to strap to a tree, look at the Millenium tree seat. It is very similar to a Torges seat only larger and very comfortable!
I don't have the link but Millenium tree stands is who makes it. It is like their hang on tree stand, but designed to be placed just above the ground. They are quiet and easy to carry, they come with a shoulder strap.

I have the regular size DB and the Magnum. I'm a big guy and really appreciate the "comfort" of these 2 chairs (esp the Magnum) during turkey season. Peace!
I prefer the duck hunting T-style marsh seats.They are light and you can pivot around on them and your knees aren't up around your chin like a lot of seats.cabelas may carry them

here You go (https://millenniumstands.com/products/ground/m300-tree-seat) it doesn't show it hooked to a tree.
Another vote for the Double Bull chair here.
Thank you Sal!
Another advantage is the tree seat doesn't have legs to sink into the ground.
Huntmore, they are the best!!!!!!! I only hunt from the ground, and if you spend time out there, this chair is for you. I allows you to be comfortable for an extended period!! Buy a Huntmore!!!
Chippewa Wedge loc treestands also have a seat you attach to a tree.Looks very solid.I think its called the groung hog.
I just use the seat from my lone wolf climber
or if no tree...I use one of those little fella turkey seats with a pad, gets me just enough off the ground where I can lay over the 68" longbow and let 'em have it.
