Lounger, Vest, or Hammock seat?

[JBGriffith]

Whats everyone using for a seat? I have a vest with padded seat, but possibly looking at a lounger chair or the dead ringer hammock seat. The hammock seat looks to be really compact and comfortable. Just wanted to see what everyone's preference was.

I sat against a tree on a thin cushion for 26 years. I'm kinda partial to that thin cushion in a lounger the last few years. Sure is comfortable. Puts your knee up just right to prop up to shoot.

I generally just use my vest with padded seat but also have (hard to describe) a short fold out four legged stool with a web seat that the back legs are a few inches shorter than the front so you lean back against the tree.

All told it is maybe 10" off the ground. Has a shoulder strap and is very light and pretty comfy. Mostly use that if the ground is pretty soggy from recent rain or if I am in a river bottom that might have the perfect tree that is in a few inches of water.

Go to Cabelas and buy one of their Gobbler Loungers for around $30. Killed deer and turkey from mine. They are SOOOOOOO comfortable.

Also for mobility I use an innertube seat. Best thing that ever happened to my turkey hunting gear!
I have 2

Always just used the pad on the vest but I just got one of the loungers at Wally World today $20 Seems pretty comfy. I’ll give it a shot unless it becomes a pain to tote.

lounger- redhead to be exact
real comfortable can sit in one spot for hours
like others have said- puts your knees in just the right spot

I often use a cloth camp table to sit on when I'm running the woods. Sit on the table and lean against a tree.

Small - easy to carry. Lightweight. Comfortable.

Weight capacity? Not much, but not really been a problem (I'm about 220 lbs).

Look here to see what I'm talking about (this is Cabelas - I bought mine at Dick's on sale for around $10 3 or 4 years ago):

I wish you could still find the old fold out cloth chairs without arms.

I have tater 2 vest from Cabelas and turkey thug chair from Walmart if I go in to set up chair goes I don't let seat cushion down on vest till I leave the chair and start roaming.

Redhead lounger and I can sit for hours and even take a nap- to hot to wear a vest a lot of the time

 

[Kwaksmoka]

a friend of mine recommended the Breedlove seat, I got one for this year. seems to be well made, check them out.

 

[Beagler282]

Turkey lounger for me. Really helps keep them ticks off of me from not sitting directly on the ground plus like stated already it puts your knees in a good position to have as a gun rest.

 

[JBGriffith]

Thanks for the replies. So no one has tried the dead ringer hammock seat?

I use the turkey lounger, for all the reasons mentioned above, but I didn’t like carrying it, so I use an old back pack I had, put the lounger in it, a couple calls, water, a snack, works great, both hands free , if I want to run and gun, and I don’t have to fight to keep the chair strap on my shoulder

I have a hammock seat and will use it sometimes in the deer woods, I haven't used it for turkeys though because it sits you a bit higher and farther out from the tree than the other options, and doesn't allow you to rest your gun on your knee to shoot

Same here. I bought this last year and I'm not looking back.

Drop your strap down a little on the tree. You can get it as low (maybe lower) than those lounger style seats.

I have an old vest with the flop down thin pad. It holds all my stuff. I've not seen any like it. Probably over 30 years old. I have and my grandson have killed some turkeys over the years with it so I'm not changing. But I'm going to look at the lounger

 

[01Foreman400]

Been using a turkey lounger since they came out. They are very comfortable and I can set up anywhere.

Yep this^^^
Once you get use to them and realize how versatile they are, you will not leave home without it. I know I won't! I use the hammock seat, no toting chairs around anymore for me.
