I usually use a Torges style seat when hunting. While at a sporting goods store the other day, I saw this turkey seat set out on the floor. My friend has a similar one but has too much recline to it. This one is more upright. I plopped my butt down it the seat and.... wow is that comfy! The sales guy gave me a discount. I hunted in it yesterday.

Right out in the open and you look well concealed. Good camo job.
Now, we need to see the seat.
I'm always interested in seats for ground hunting... Whatcha got? Looks good by the way!
Looks good. Please share name of seat. Thanks!
Cool! I'm not good at sitting on the ground like that. I too am interested in seeing a better pic of the chair itself.
Bisch
I have a bag chair that seems to be sized for a large child. It has no arm rests of any kind, and it give good back support for this type chair. I haven't seen this on sale recently. I don't care for the 3 cornered seats as they just are not comfortable to me, and I have tried a lot of them.
Nice setup and perfect for ground hunting. If i had a seat like that i would fall asleep in no time lol!
What's it called?
I too would like to see a pic of just the chair
The chair is the Browning Strutter. It is for turkey hunting, but works good for my type of ground hunting for deer. Only thing is I needed a thin hot seat under my butt because the wind made me cold through the mesh.

Pretty interesting outfit, might have to check it out. Thanks for the picture
cool!
Thanks for the pic and info
My son uses one, but I find that those low seats are a bit difficult to get in and out of for my old bones. I have found it is easier to use just a butt pad, a Nifty seat,a strap on Grizzly tree seat, and if I really want to go for a long sit a HuntMor. Of course it also can be more difficult for some to shoot that low to the ground. The problem I have with my butt pad, when I get that close to the ground, it is just one short flop over, to be in that perfect nap in the woods position. Don't do that, you will wake up with all kinds of animals just standing there watching you sleep, vultures circling over head and you won't remember where you are or how you got there.
Sounds like Pavan and I play for the same team!
check out the nifty seat and be able to shoot 360 degrees,, any direction while sitting straight up or sitting on the lean to get the arrow by a tree in the lane it doesn't matter.
The Nifty seat is "nifty" for about an hour, maybe. After that it becomes "not so nifty", especially if you're getting on in years. Still a good seat, but not for long sits at all.
I got a seat like that. I use it in my Guide 119 canoe and for camping. May have to give it a try in the deer woods too. RC

Foxbo,,, I won't lie I know the feeling but try a rolled up wool scarf draped over the middle its all the difference.. Nifty is my favorite "hunting seat" but the #1 seat and best deal of all time when it comes to being able to quietly shoot in any direction from my experience is a upside down 5-gallon bucket painted drab!
Never thought about trying a wool scarf, but I did try a two inch foam pad. It was much more comfortable, but just another thing to take along. So, it gets left behind most of the time.
Here's the most comfortable ground seat I've ever tried and it swivels too. I killed a nice six pointer from it this past season. I figure I'm getting too old to be uncomfortable. :)

whats that weigh?
I have the millennium tree seat. Same seat as foxbo but straps to tree. Can sit in it all day without getting fidgety
Nifty seat??????? If you are a little plump like me the Nifty seat has a tendency to get up with you when you stand. Lets just say my butt is to big for such a little seat. :bigsmyl:
With the nifty seat that pad that I snap to my belt and the longer spike length makes it more useable for me and strapping it to my side with a stretchy belt makes it very portable. My son called my old Sabor climbing stand a widow maker, he says the Nifty seat is a short version of a widow maker. Every time i have flopped over backwards with mine, i could not believe that I had done that to myself again, until it was to late. When using a nifty seat check behind you, to see what you could fall on. The last time I fell with mine, I was sitting leaning my against a tree with my feet on my down hill side, which makes it higher and more comfy. I blew on my deer call grunt, then followed that with a fawn bleat, two way call. Then here he came and with determination, a coyote came running across the open field. when he got closer, he started circling me. When he was behind cover, I turned to keep him in shooting position. As he got to my more uphill side and my back was no longer against the tree, here comes my feet again and down I went. The coyote yiked, spun and ran out to the field. While I was still on my back, he turns, runs back for a second looked, smiled a bit and casually trotted by.
Their site says just the chair weighs 7.5#s. The molle system I believe weighs close to 4#s.
I like the molle frame as it allows me to easily transport the chair and shoot my bow while carrying the chair on my back.
I also have the model which attaches to a tree. Both are super comfortable, but in some spots, there just isn't a tree available. Plus, this one swivels.
