During turkey hunts, an important aspect of a successful hunt is remaining completed still. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to stay still if you are sitting on the hard or wet ground and you are not comfortable. To combat this problem, different types of turkey hunting seats are available.
One type of seat is the vest and cushion combination. It is designed to provide you with pockets for holding any needed accessories and supplies, with a cushion attached. Some models allow the cushion to be removed while others have fixed cushions. Most of them, however, all include some kind of extra padding along the back piece of the vest.
Carry alongs are a second choice. These types usually have a handle attached. There are also some versions with straps that can be used to attach it to your bag or vest. They are usually very light in weight. A carry along is meant to be extremely portable.
Another option is called a ground seat. It has a lot of similar characteristics to a carry-along but there are notable differences that can help you tell them apart. Generally, this type of seat has a higher back and thicker cushioning. More often than not, most models have legs that keep you up off the ground a few inches.
You could also choose a low profile chair. They are often foldable and similar to a ground seat, but they have more features. These seats tend to sit higher off the ground, they have more support in the back section, and some adjustable sections including the leg height and arm rests. They are often better suited for areas where the ground is uneven or particularly moist.
Hunts that use fixed or portable blinds require different types of seating. The other options discussed are not appropriate. In this case, you would need a blind seat. They have the height of a standard chair but the convenience of a portable chair. Most of these seats have numerous helpful features such as cup holders and adjustable legs, along with being lightweight and foldable for easy moving.
The seat you choose should have camouflage, unless it will be specifically used in a blind. Outdoors, it needs to blend in. Even the slightest void can be detected by turkeys. There are different camouflage patterns to choose for the seasonal differences in the surroundings. For example, springtime hunts will have patterns that incorporate green colors with the other earth tones and fall patterns will be completely earth toned.
To accommodate changes in where you hunt or in the technique you use, you should pick more than one seat. The best way to choose the right one is to try them out before you buy them. Check the weight, construction, and how easy it is to use them. Consider how you will use the seat most often as well as anticipating any future changes.
