Albertan_J Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 What seat are people using at the moment? I seem to destroy anything with fabric and four legs so was thinking of the spinning bucket type but can't find them online except cabelas Stateside.

EMcC Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I use a five gallon oil/chemical drum. Then all my empty cases go inside when I leave the hide. If they are easily come by, they can be left in the hide or hedge for next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are easily come by, they can be left in the hide or hedge for next time. Same as that, never thought to stick the empties inside though, cracking idea.

I made mine, it works well; you can use it on a slope, up against a tree, in a ditch, lean it up by a stonewall. I used a can once, to go and get some petrol when I ran out....... http://s856.photobucket.com/albums/ab130/TheEssexHunter/?action=view¤t=_CAN4200_010.jpg TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I've got one of these from UKSW, it is pricey at £37 http://www.ukshootwarehouse.com/shop/PIGEON+DECOYING+EQUIPMENT/Pigeon+Decoying+Accessories/Pigeon+Shooters+folding+seat.html In the winter when the land is a bit boggy I found it not very stable despite having a folding cross section to stop it sinking and got a drum with swivel seat which I leave in my hide bag and sit on. However, I've been using it more recently now the ground is firmer, the handy thing is it is height adjustable so it isn't a struggle to get up to take a shot.

If you were going to spend that much try the spinning seat with backrest type, and storage bag underneath, looks sturdy enough. Haven't used one myself but did buy a spinning bucket seat which is fine, if a little low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhunter Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have always bought the big, hold-all kit bags which have a bucket already in them. Paid about £12 a while ago. Usually have a foam pad but doesn't spin, unfortunately. I often set up so I don't have to stand for every shot. Less tiring that way.
