Hey Guys, I have a brand new 16" Huntmore 360 chair that I would like to pass around.
Here is what I would like:
8 guys to use the chair this fall for 2 weeks of hunting. (2 guys, for each of the following months, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec. If this goes well I can start another pass around after the first of the year)
Only thing I ask in return is:
1 > Each hunter sign his/her name on the chair, along with a list of any game harvested.
2 > Post a pic of it in the woods or with game harvested.
3 > Last hunter send it back to me.
I will pay the shipping to the first user, then each hunter is resposnible for shipping costs to the next hunter.
Hunters will be chosen of a first come first serve basis. Please select your preferred week and send me a PM.
Here are the hunt dates:
Late Aug. winner will be Steadman
Week 1 > Sept 3-16 > NCBowBender
Week 2 > Sept 17-30 > Joe Kieth
Week 3 > Oct 1-14 > gokartjon
Week 4 > Oct 15-31 > Caleb7mm
Week 5 > Nov 1-11 > Tking308
Week 6 > Nov 12-26 > Gator #1
Week 7 > Nov 27-Dec 9 > Pdk25
Week 8 > Dec 10-31.> Owlbait
I have set these dates so that each hunter gets two weekends to hunt from the chair. However Week #8 will get a extra weekend. Consider it a Christmas gift.
If there is a hunter who would like the chair for a hunt yet this month. First one to PM me I can get the chair out to them, ASAP.
I will announce the "winners" this weekend.

Awesome opportunity guys. I just received my Huntmore and it is an impressive seat. Can't wait to use mine this fall.

I'd love an opportunity to test this out. I'll be at the ohio trad hunt for week 5 so others could see it too.
Thanks

PM sent, I'd be interested in weeks 5 or 6...
thanks for the offer...
I'd like to give it a try. I just had back surgery a little over a month ago and need something easier on my back. Not too picky when I get to use it. Appreciate the opportunity.

Very kind gesture Chris! I already know I will have a little companion to my big 360, but will be watching to see how everyone likes it.

O Would do the Oct. 15th date thats where season starts in Alabama, really would like to try it.
"owlbait" I'm curious just how is your chair "on it's last legs". These are $200 chairs and have been described as being indestructible. BTW I have one and like it very much.
pm sent
Tomas, I have had the upgrade kits, an extra/new back pad, and finally, the adjustment hardware for at least one of the legs has fallen out. But, I have used it (hard) for 5 years,or more, and it is still useable, not indestructible, and no longer fully adjustable.
Pm sent.
Winners listed above!!
Please contact the hunter who follows you for ship to address!

Chris I'm not finding a NCbowhunter on the directory. Mabey you could pm him for me to get in touch with me, or if he see's this, pm me his addy.
Thanks again for the opportunity!
Ryan
Post has been edited b/c I accidently put week #1 with NCBowhunter, however, the real hunter is NCBowBender.
Sorry for the confusion and Thanks to "steadman" for catching it.
chris <><
Thanks very much for the opportunity. Very generous of you.
looking forward to trying her out! thanks a bunch for the chance!
All "Winners"
I sent each of you a reminder to pass along address for shipping.
I shipped the chair to steadman last week, and overnight shipping was $120!! Please don't spend that kind of $$$ for shipping. Do the best you can to ship as quickly as possible, but keep it in reason. I ended up shipping ground to steadman for around $20. Fedex said it would take 5-7 days, but I think steadman got the chair in three.
Any questions just pm me.
Thanks again to all participants!

Thanks for the reminder Chris. I sent my info out! :thumbsup:
Owlbait,
Please bring your "Old" chair to the Kazoo Trad show so I can see why it's on it's last legs? I've yet to see one in this condition.
We warranty our chair frames for the life of the original customer from manufacture defects. or if I think they need replacing.
Scott @ HuntMore.biz
Be glad to Scott. It will have debris on it from spending time in the woods though.

Now this is why I brag on my Huntmore 360 I purchased a few years ago cause it has the best warranty and a True Honest gentleman that backs up his product...Scott I'm glad to be a Huntmore 360 owner and I commend you for always watching out for our "backs and tailends" Keep up the good customer care and I appreciate a good bussiness man like you :thumbsup: :clapper:
God Bless, Keefers <")))><
I just posted an initial review of the 16" model in the TradGang Product Reviews forum. So far, it's been good to me - killed two turkeys while sitting in it!

If you do another pass around I would love to give it a try!
Tree stand hunting is not pleasant anymore for me & I like sitting in home made ground blinds.
I have not found a good comfortable chair to do it from yet. I am sure if this chair is as comfortable as it sounds I would end up purchasing one anyway!
K.C.
TTT. Hoping to receive it soon. Maybe tomorrow.
pdk25, I sent it your way, you should be getting it soon!
Could you guys post your thoughts on this chair and what type of hunting you used it for(blind/ghillie suit etc)? I started hunting this year from the ground with a Bush-NA-Bag and I am in dire need of a new hunting seat. The milk crate I have been using is murder on my backside!
Scott.
Hey guys,
Thanks for all of you giving the new smaller 16" Chair a test drive.
The 16" stand for the size of the bottom seat pad, 16 x 16 x16 VS the original HuntMore which has a bottom seat pad that is 19 x 19 x 19.
Please remember the chair is designed for smaller frame hunters and or shorter sits or deeper hikes in the woods.
Rule of thumb when guys ask me by email. If you're a lighter frame hunter 5' 8" or shorter, women, kids... buy the 16" Chair.
If you sit for less than 2 hours or hike more than a mile in, maybe the 16" is better for you.
Thank you again for your support! Hope to see many of you in Kazoo in 2013!
Scott @ HuntMore.biz
Are your 19" still out of stock?
I will post my thoughts on the chair in a little while.
Okay, here are some of my thoughts on the chair.
First off, I want to say thank you for the very kind offer to let us all try this chair out. An incredible gesture.
I will start of with some of the pros.
Probably the best feature of this chair for me was the ability to adjust the legs quickly and quietly for uneven ground. The large rocker type feet allow the chair to be stable on really steep uneven ground that no other chair comes close to IMHO. The chair is built like a tank, and I think it would take quite alot to damage the chair. Previous concerns about how difficult it is to transport the chair really didn't pan out for me. It is far easier for me to carry this than a treestand. I found the seat to be pretty easy to setup, without instructions as well. The seat swivels quite nicely, but I will get back to that, later.
Now for some cons.
The seat was comfortably enough for me to sit for a few hours tops, but if I was going to sit for longer than that, I would definitely need to bring and extra padded seat or something. Not that there is any other seat available that accomodates that.
This biggest issue I had was that the seat would make noise when I put weight on my right butt cheek. I checked the website to see if there was a solution and checked with other using the seat. Nobody else reported the problem, and adjusting the tension on the strap did nothing. I finally figured out that it was the strap that connected the seat to the right rear post. The strap was doubled over and sewn on that side only, and when I shifted my weight it would skip over the ring and make noise. Not incredibly loud, but certainly enough to scare a deer. Maybe with my size, it wouldn't happen on the larger version, but I am not sure. Once again, nobody else reported this problem. I may eventually order the larger size and give it a go. Maybe the problem won't be there, and if it is I can make a different connection on that side or something. Overall a very well build product.
I can't imagine that there is a better chair out there, and if the noise issue wasn't there for me, it would be darn near perfect. It should really shine in a blind where you need to swivel from window to window for a shot.
I have had a crack at this chair and I like it.
I have never packed a blind or chair while hunting. but after I got this little chair, I found myself taking advantage of being able to move and sit where I needed or wanted to.
The chair is great. I had no issues what so ever.
I will need more time with it to figure out how to use it better to my advantage but that is just my inexperience with any type of chair.
Comfy and stable.
It is a real nice piece of gear.
CTT
Thanks guys for your reviews!
Chuck,
Look forward to catching up with you on Sat!
