what to sit on when ground hunting

[mooseman76]

What do you groundhunters sit on?  I started groundhunting this year and have been sitting on the ground.  Two problems, it isn't real comfortable and I need to move alot to get into position to shoot.  I need something small and lightweight as this is the reason I took to the ground.  I like to hunt deep in the woods when possible and the treestand is cumbersome to carry for that distance.  What do you think of the Nif-T-Seat?

The Nif-T-Seat is the best invention for ground hunting that has ever come along.  I love it!

I mostly use a Dean Torges seat.

I have a 7 gallon bucket with a swivel seat on it, but that's in a natural ground blind.

One of my best buddies built me a great seat that will backpack flat, is light, leans against a tree, or stands by itself in brush or blowdown, is comfortable, and has a full backrest.

I'm gonna put a pic on here next Monday of it, and we are gonna be a sponsor on the site and start doing these for ground hunters/turkey hunters.

Pretty cool deal..will advise Monday.

I'm looking forward to seeing this Ray, I use the Nif-T-Seat now but was just beginning to look for something with a backrest......

Hot seats work pretty good too if you need to be mobile.

Heres mine that has evolved over the years from an Alaskan back frame to a 2 legged seat that can lean or stand erect.Right height to shoot recurve and tip does hit the ground..pole in back is for picture....PM me if anyone needs dimensions....If this seat could TALK

Check with Dennis, a sponser here, at Git-er-done Archery. He has a cool seat.

Looking forward to hearing more about this seat, Ray!

Ray,
Looking forward to seeing that idea.
I like the Torges seat as well - as the tree makes a good backrest.

I have a seat like this. It is a folding stool type deal with a folding backrest. I attached backpack straps. The pocket underneath the seat holds as much stuff as a daypack so I dont have to carry both. I use this when I wear my ghillie suit or when I use either pop-up or natural material ground blinds. If I need to move I gather up, fold it, put it on like a day pack and head out. It is easy to wear and doesn't interfere if i want to still hunt to my next spot. It works VERY well and was less than 20 bucks. I also added a few narrow buckle straps to carry a coat or jacket. Sometimes, I even strap my small pop-up blind on it, and it functions like a small pack frame. I will take a picture tonight and try and post it tomorrow if ya like.

I have been using a Hunter Specialties tripod chair.  It has a small backrest and it is really light.

I bought a Double Blind a few years ago with their 3 legged seat. It works great in the blind but also when I want to ground hunt. Has a full back rest and works really well.

I use a small folding "camp" seat. It folds flat, and has a canvas sling type seat. It is very light fits in my pack easily. will even fit in the cargo pocket of my B.D.U.s. This type of seat does not have a backrest, and big guys might not be too comfortable with it. I usually lean back against a large tree or brushpile and am quite comfortable.

when and if i come over again i will be using a seat for sure as when i sat on the ground i got chiggers and we dont want to go there.          

[tomh]

Chiggers are the devil...

[madness522]

I shiver when I hear the word chiggers....they are 100 times worse than skeeteres.  At least skeeter bites stop itching after a couple hours.

[Jeremy]

Nif-t-seat for me.

[mooseman76]

Thanks for all the comments guys.  I really look forward to seeing your seat Ray.  I want something that is light, packable, and quick and quiet to set up/takedown.  I was about to order a Niff-T-Seat, but I'll wait to see what Mr. Hammond has up his sleave.  Thanks again and keep em coming!
