Can anyone recommend a comfortable seat for blind hunting?

[Deerthug]

I will be setting up two blinds this weekend and I've been looking for some comfortable seats to put into the blinds I can use for bowhunting deer and turkey. I have a sling seat/stool I've used in the past but after sitting 2-3 hours, . . . Oh! My aching back!!. I've researched online and have found one called the Huntmore seat but it's $200. Oy vey! Costs more than my two blinds together. I was thinking of trying one of those triangular stools with the fabric but after speaking with other hunters shopping at Dicks, they don't recommend them unless I want to be singing in the boys choir.

I've read on other forums that some guys use camp chairs without arms. I can't find any for less than $50. I was thinking of taking an old camp chair I have sitting around in my shed and sawing off the arms so they wont get in the way of my drawing the bow. What 'cha all think?

This is a low seat but well reviewed.

I have used the triangle seat for years and sit hours on it but I use a pad under my ass too.

Here's a suggestion. Buy a few of them keep the receipts and set them up in your living room and watch TV for a few hours. Stay in the same one for one night and so on. Keep the one that's works best.

I tried a few kinds the ones arm rest are a waste,some were too low some too high.I found what works for me is a tree stump cut to a height that suits you with a hot seat on it,I can rotate 360 degrees and see out all of the windows and draw a bow. If I planed ahead I would have cut a tree down lower then the inside of the blind and put one of the swivel seats that strap on to a tree.I nave one in my tree stand and it works great.

Not a bad idea. I have one of the big game swivel seats i use in one of my spots for turkey hunting. And there are some cut trees in the area i want to put my blind. Hmmmmm....

I sit on a spackel bucket with one of those rotating tops. I found that some buckets are a little taller some alittle lower. Find one that fits you. I can sit for hours, but I have abony little butt.

I bought a similar one from dicks for turkey hunting. But not sure if its too low for bow. I'm going to try shooting while seated in it.

i have one with no arms and a bag like under seat , attached. i think its comfy. i had a triangle one but after awhile you get tingly where you shouldn't. lol sorry. any hoo i got mine at gander but i am sure anyone has one. i paid $20

[wooly]

Here ya go Deerthug. I probably got enough extra parts laying around to customize ya one with handlebars, saddle bags, and a wheelie bar if you'd like.....maybe a blaze orange whip flag for safety and a headlight for night hunting,lol

All crap I found in the woods.

I take the plastic patio chairs out to the hunting spot . I need a back support . Can't handle the 5 gal buckets anymore . The folding canvas seats are a bit low and uncomfortable so I go with the plastic chairs . I pick up the ones that people discard on garbage day after they fade and stain from a few years service .

Cool idea but i think if i sit on that for too long i'm going to be singing in the Vienna Boys Choir. LOL!

[ants]

My thoughts exactly!! Just looking at it makes me want to get up and walk around!! LOL

[landtracdeerhunter]

Just like Eddie, I use the plastic patio chairs, with the all important backs. I take a saw and shorten the legs up a tad, so to have a good shot with a bow out the windows.

arms and back low enough so you can easily turn. cant beat $29

[ants]

Yeah.. I use those, full size, folding nylon chairs with a back. They work well & they even have cup holders! I use to have one that was camo and had a cushioned seat and back. I'm pretty sure I left it in the woods or dropped it of the ATV around 5 years ago and never saw it again. I haven't seen one like it since. I think the wife got it a Wally world

Can you be more clear? By blind do you mean pop-up blind?

In my pop-up blind I have a nice lawn chair. The hard part is finding one that won't squeek or creek when it gets cold. In my tree stand I have a bucket with a swivel top.

[papabear]

I use a spackel buket not only makes a good sit but also holds all my stuff and it is water proof I keep an extra jacket socks gloves and some shells along with water and lunchpapabear

They are pop up blinds roughly 60" tall and 5' x 5'

While up at camp this past weekend I put together a folding sling stool with a thick seat pad which i attached with straps. Felt good and comfy. Going to give it a whirl on 10/1.
