turkey huntin chair question

[sea trout]

What's up fine folks!!??

Do any of y'all use "turkey huntin chairs"
A friend and I are bringin my healthy 80 yr old neighbor on a weeks trip for turkey this spring.
My awesome neighbor walks good and gets outta a regular chair good.
I'd like to hook him up with something better than sittin on the ground and even more so GETTIN UP from off the ground!
I know there's low profile huntin chairs out there. But I don't know anything about them.
Just got done lookin at cabela's and they had cabela's brand turkey huntin chair regular, and big man. Price looks fine. I could buy one and have it shipped to my friends house fine but then the reveiws were NOT good. Seems like the cabela's brand chairs are falling apart on a lotta folks even on their first hunt!

So what do y'all use and like?
Thanks!
And good luck to y'all!!!!

I have two made by alps outdoors. We don’t really turkey hunt out of them, but deer hunt out of them regularly. I have a regular and a big man one. I think I’ve had them 4 years and they have help up well. If they broke tomorrow I’d buy them again, because with the cheaper ones they usually break after a few uses.

I think I have more trouble getting up out of those low profile. chairs than I do off the ground.
In fact, I usually have ta flop over on my side onto the ground anyway.

I like the self supporting stadium seat style seat that folds up inside the vest.
When I find a tree that is wider than my shoulders than it usually has so much root flair that I have to lean too far back to be comfortable with shooting across my toes.
And if i'm laying way back I have more trouble shooting to my off side.
I find the support of those stadium seats invaluable.

I have the cabelas chair, I can't imagine it falling apart. It's a great chair but it's too heavey. There's no reason for a low style bag chair to be 10 pounds. It's ridiculous. If I had to do it over I'd just get a random amazon one.

Been using a turkey thug chair (walmart) for years. It is hard to get out of being so low but you don't have to find a tree to get against. I like that.

At my age, I look like a turtle trying to turn over, when I get up off the ground.

I picked up a Browning Strutter MC chair off Amazon on sale and use it for deer, turkey, and sitting by the fire. It's comfortable and holds my 250 pound self.

Thanks rooster I was looking at that too.
That and the alps that depree mentioned are both the same chair so that's good that y'all both like them

I like my millennium chair and my hammock chair. Those “Turkey” chairs aren’t made for old fat fellas. I look like that turtle getting out of one.

The danger of the hammock chair is it sleeps good if you sit too long.

Academy Sports $5 chair buy a few.

I like the Hammock too. Sits good and it's easy to tote.

I looked at the Mossy Oak ones at Walmart the other day and that thing was crazy comfortable and surprisingly lightweight. It has a mesh back and seat so you won't get hot in it. I have one from Academy that I've had several years and its comfy but heavy and hot. Im planning to go back and get the Walmart chair. For $30, its worth it to me.

I carry one of the low profile lounger chairs, I do like them because of the backrest and gets me just above the ground. As others posted, not easiest to stand-up out of sitting position, and more than likely be challenging for an 80 yr old without a helping hand.....maybe look into the 3 leg (tripod) folding stools (even child size) , your neighbor will be a bit more visible and no backrest, but probably easier to sit down/get up if ya'll are doing some running and gunning....

This is the best seat for turkey huntin. Packs nicely too. Wheel barrow innertube. $5.00 harbor freight

Check out the Low Down seat. Same folks as the Hammock Seat but newer model. You can't beat it for comfort. Look up Fanatic Outdoors.
