Camp Chair?

[captpschar]

Anyone bring a camp style chair with them when hunting?

No sir, not when hunting.  I've carried some ultra-lite blow up pillow thingamajigs for long sits/glassing tho.

For coyote hunting??? I sit on my butt and use shooting sticks. A wet cold butt aint no fun. I used to bring a little chunk of foam to sit on. last few years I've been bringing the pad that goes on the seat of my hang on tree stand. I've used the floor mat out of my truck in a pinch too.

Yes we've used them in blinds.
They're light and comfortable

Helinox chairs are money if your glassing lots. Not great for every situation but they are super light and take up very little space.

It's not a camp style chair, but I use a folding, nylon netted, low style chair for turkey hunting.
It has 4 collapsible legs with a strap for carrying. It sits about 3-4" above the ground, keeps your fanny dry, and is great for setting up against a big tree or stump.

Captschar, I did pick up one of these last spring to potentially pack in on some backcountry hunts.  I used is a few times and found it to be pretty sturdy, comfortable, and functional.  I think they only weigh around a few pounds and if you dig around, you can find one for a bit under 40 bones.  Just an option for ya buddy if you want to throw a chair in, or, strap it to your pack.  I have a few of the tri-pod type stools also that weigh a bit less, but, if you're talking sitting in something and shooting off sticks, a four legger may be better for that purpose.

Great tips guys.  The area I'm hunting has a ton of swampy uneven terrain and I'm considering strapping a camp chair to my pack to make things more livable.  I'll check out all these options, thanks!

I take a small pad and it's always been enough.  I don't need much comfort, I usually am fighting a nap the whole time unless there are animals in view.

not for coyote hunting but very similar in that I used to pack around one of those little stadium chairs when whitetail hunting. When I was younger, I couldn't sit for long so I would hike in, sit for 15-30 minutes and move on. The stadium chairs were great because they were light, kept you butt dry and didn't need level ground to be comfortable

Why not just a turkey vest with a seat pad ? I had one that the seat would drop down, you would lean forward a bit and snap a strap on both sides, lean back and it was like sitting in a recliner.

Terralite is 35.00 with tax on Walmart.

I've been looking at those too, considering trading in a pack for one of those turkey vest-pack combos.  The only thing that makes me hesitate is that I'm cheap.

The vest I got was cheap and on sale to boot. Cant remember the name now as I haven't used it in a while. Carried every thing I needed but I should have got a lg instead of an xl thinking of extra clothing. While kicking back, your knees automatically kicked up a bit keeping your legs out of the wet crap.

I use Slydog chair when huning coyotes, good stuff.
