    Comfortable / Quiet Seat for a pop-up blind?

    I shot out of my pop-up pre-season quite a bit - both kneeling down and sitting on a bucket chair. Right before the season started, I decided I wanted a "more comfortable" seat, so I put a cheap "hunting chair" made for ground blinds according to the manufacturer, in my blind. I shot out of the blind with it while in jeans, and it was fine.

    This weekend though, during the Saturday morning hunt in the rain, every time I moved a half inch sitting in it with my hunting camo on, it made noise. In the inside of the blind, it made a LOT of noise. I'm not sure how well that noise is heard by deer outside of the blind, but I don't like it one bit.

    So now I have a delima that I need to change quick. I need a comfortable chair to sit all day if need be, but not something that makes a nylon to nylon scratch sound when I move.

    I also contemplated just bringing a dark green terry cloth towel that I've washed in the scent free washing detergent with me to lay on the current chair, hoping the terry cloth towel will deaden the sound.

    Thoughts???

    All the best,
    Glenn

    Look at the Woodsey Too Little Sit. What I use in my blind. Very comfortable, caught many a nap in it.

        I have used one of those fold up canvas chairs that Walmart and Academy sell for like $8 and never had a problem. They even have a cup holder or two.

          That's what I use and it works very well.

                Glen go to office depot and buy an inexpensive cloth covered secretary's chair. I have one I've used for years that came out of our home office. Has a bow holder mounted on it as well.

                    i have used the black plastic blind chair, but not as comfortable to sit for long periods of time.

                      I use the base of a blynd chair and add a camo swivel boat seat. The best "pop up blind chair. Next time I am in the blind I will take pics and post them on here. I could sit in that chair easily all day long!

                        I think this is what he is talking about.

                              If you don't mind spending money, try the Shooter's Chair from Texas Hunter Products. I have used one for two years and love it. It is very stable and sturdy, light weight, pivot seat to make it easy to get different direction shots in a popup, a wide seat for hunters and quiet. It is $69 + shipping.

                              Texas Hunter Products has been the industry leader in hunting blinds, deer and fish feeders, and hunting supplies since 1954. Shop our products online.
