Strap on tree seat?


Recommended Posts

I've had one for about 15 years, and it's great for hunting steep hillsides where other kinds of seats are impractical.

I don't see any reason it couldn't be hung low enough to use your knees while shooting, but I tend to keep it up high enough so that I can occasionally lift my feet and wiggle my toes to stay warm.

If it's mounted off to the side of the tree from where you expect to see game it's even possible to use the seat itself as a gun rest for longer ranges if you have the time to slide off and get set up.

Don't see why not, as long as you see them coming and have the opportunity to slip off the seat it'll make a nice rest! Took the top section of my climber out this year ( no rail) , made a great seat and shot a doe with my gun propped up on the seat !

I have a strap on seat that I like using when not in a permanent ground or tree stand. There are times when I like moving around checking out places for different stands. They are much better than sitting on the ground as they are comfortable for long periods and when comfortable I fidget less, also your outline is not well seen as you are backed up against a tree. Mine is a bit bulky and a little cumbersome but worth the effort to carry.

I have and use a seat exactly like you show but now only at semi-permanent sites.  It got too heavy and cumbersome to carry while still hunting.

 

I just got a screw in type tree seat that open up into a T shape and has a triangular support that folds down against the tree after I screw it in with the 4+" tapered screw.

 

I know I can only use it on private land and with permission, but it is so much lighter and more compact.  I'll post a pic (when I can get pic reduction figured out) and a review before next season.
