Shotgun, I looked at those chairs in crazy creek site and they look good. I have seen similar chairs advertised in Cabela's catalog. I think those chairs would be great in area's that don't have a tree to use as a backrest. You could rig some loops on outside back of those things for attaching some cedar branches or the like. That way you would have your own portable bush to sit in front of.

What keeps the back of these chairs from tilting back when you raise your knees to rest the rifle on them? I tried one of these chairs and when I raised my legs the back of it tilted waaaaay back. Do those of you who use them prop them up against a tree or just how do you work around the back falling over if you don't have your legs at a 90 degree angle to your back????
I suppose you could use tent stakes to hold down the front edge, but when there is frost in the ground, wouldn't the sound of pounding the stakes scare away the critters you are trying to call???

just sitting on them will keep them from tipping back, done it many times, I use a camo woodland pattern, for snow I guess you could cover it with a sheet

Howler:
Did you buy one in camo? If so where?
All that I've seen are blue, red, green and black....

Silverfox I have to admit that I have shot very few coyotes over my knee while sitting on this thing. Not enough that I can tell you exactly why it was not prob , but if it was I never noticed it. I almost always use my sticks when I shoot, or if shooting a shotgun I just lean foward and blast away. I imagine why it doesent tip back from pulling your knees up is that you would lean into your rifle a tad and that would counter balance everything.

I picked up a small folding chair with a back on it last Fall. It's got a dull green frame, with woodland camo material for the seat, back, and storage pouch. There's also a strap that makes carrying it very easy. It's made by All-Luminum Products of San Antonio, TX and Philadelphia, PA. It's just the thing for those that find it a bit hard to sit on the ground.  MI VHNTR
