Which one do you have/How do you like it for on the move hunting?Any problems using longbows?Have you taking any game using either?What was the yardage if you did?

Never used the Hunt More but have had a Waldrop Pac-Seat since 2008. I just ordered some of the legs for mine that allow you to set up without a tree to lean against. With the legs added, I believe this will be the ultimate ground hunting seat. I don't think you will have any problem shooting any type bow from it. David always had a longbow the times I hunted with him.

I have used many different seats over the years. I bought the waldrop Pac seat last spring and have been using it this bow season and I agree with Greg clark it is the ultimate ground seat.No problem using my longbow.Money well spent!!! Randy....

I've owned both but now all I have is the pacseat.

Best money I've ever spent on a hunting seat period.

God bless, Mudd

I have both but only use the Huntmore in a turkey blind as it swivels and is awkward to set up and take down.

The Pacseat is great for carrying, setting up and shootiing from. I use a 66" recurve with no problems. Tie a little piece of camo netting to the frame and set up anywhere in less than a minute

I bought the Huntmore chair last year-- it is comfortable, for sure, and over-built, if anything. There is a bit of a learning curve on the setup of the chair. It would be the perfect chair to leave set up in a ground blind--it swivels and it's quiet!. If you're going to move around, however, it is too bulky and heavy @ 10 lbs or so. I sold mine after a couple of hunts. This year I bought a Pac Seat and I am blown away by how comfortable, solid and easy to transport and setup the thing is. I can strap my daypack onto it, and away we go. Yes, it may well be the perfect seat for the ground hunter. Longbow--no problem.

I have both....both server a different purpose...its like a spoon and a fork....both will get food in your mouth......but soup is hard to eat with a fork.

I took a doe last year at 12 yards off the Pac-Seat. Like Terry said, they are totally different products for different situations.

I like the Huntmore for long sits in good cover when I am less than a mile from my car. There are places where the strap on tree seats are handier and they are easier to set up than the Huntmore, the easiest and most portable is the Niftyseat. I just stick a belt through it and it rides close and tight, but for long sits on it, a butt pad, attached to my belt, is a big help. I don't have a problem shooting a longbow from any of these. The good old chunk of plywood with a rope through two holes can work about as good as anything and is by far the cheapest.

As others have stated the Hunt-More is great if you are going to be in one spot for a long period of time. It gets easy to setup the more you use it. It is not a good option if you plan on moving from spot to spot.

Dude the hunt more is not fun to carry and usually I leave it in the field if I'm returning to that blind. That said its comfy and not a challenge to set up. Just learn how and practice.

I want to retrofit titanium tube legs onto mine. Way lighter.

For long hunts and/or all day sits, give me the waldrop pacseat. I have been known to take a knap and actually have awoken on two occassions with a gob rt in front and arrowed the bird w/i 30 seconds of awakening.

No telling how many opportunities may have been missed by taking a knap. Don't want to know!

Thanks for the input gangers!!!!

Fanaticoutdoors sells a Hammock Seat which is the most comfortable hunting seat I've tried. I have a nifty and one that squirrelbait crafted a few years back, kind of on the same order as the pacseat. Also have a Rackpack for the double bull. The hammock seat weighs less than two pounds, can be used at different heights. Gotta have a tree to use it though, but it beats everything I own for comfort.

What is the weight capacity on the PacSeat?

RM81 · October 21, 2011, 09:06:00 AM

For those who have the Huntmore 360, is it really worth the $200 price tag?

Friend · October 21, 2011, 09:18:00 AM

May be beneficial to keep in mind the type of blind to be utilized in conjuction with your favored seat. Some tall blind designs may make a low chair impractical.

highpoint forge · October 23, 2011, 01:27:00 AM

Yes it is. Adjustable independent legs and swivels 360. Comfy. Just heavy to carry relative to a longbow, etc.

I bought a huntmore here on the Gang for texas hog hunting..I luv it but if I have one complaint,its a little heavy about 7-8 lbs. nothing compared to most tree stands,super comfy,ya can sit all day...If you're patient,they do pop up once in a while in the buy an sell usually $30-50 cheaper than new..I will add,they're great people to deal with,I was at a sports show talkin to them an they gave me the update for it free (larger knobs etc..)even though I bought it used...

Picked up one of the Huntmore stools over the weekend through some trading. It's a really nice stool, kinda heavy, but pretty comfy. The swivel is nice and quiet. Not sure about the $$ tag on the new ones though.
