I bought a waldrop pac seat last year mainly for use turkey hunting. It looks like of the two stands I deer bowhunt at one is showing more promise dhtna the other. At that one I have a Pallet blind that is strictly a gun stand and a ladder stand I put up only to discover the side rails inhibit me shooting at a steep downward angle from side to side. There is no good tree available to hang a portable. I'm looking at using the Pac Set but would like to brush it in. I'd be using a tree for backing and maybe constructing a "teepee" from saplings over it and covering it with camo netting with a gap in the front for me to shoot from a sitting position. I just don't think a "debris hut" type blind would provide the vertical clearance I'd need for the bow limbs. Anybody tried this approach with success?

I've set my Waldrop Pac seat up in the shadows with a good back drop and have had good luck.

I got one over the winter and I'm in for the comments and hopefully some pics. I usually build a pretty big brush/dead limb blind and set a little stool in it. I like to be able to get down on a knee or stand up to shoot, but I'll quite possibly be napping with this seat and miss the action.

I ise the Waldrop, and a couple other seats. I try to get myself in the shadows, or against a decent tree. Ive even cut some small stuff cut to stick in the ground around me. Blown down trees are a nice spot to tuck in also. Just try to get your outline broke up. Keep the wind in your face, and sit still. I try to wait on a lone deer, or when they look away. Multiple deer in close means a lot more eyes to catch you moving. I’ve had success, and will say scent and movement is your enemy. Just be patient.

Might consider a leafy suit or gillie suit to help blend in as well.

I removed the side rails on 2 of my ladder stands, of course I am using a safety harness with them. Biggest thing with chairs or seats on the ground besides movement and the wind is just making sure nothing will grab your bow or an arrow. I also clear everything that my feet might make noise on. Plus practice a lot sitting in them, figure out what you can and can't do

You may have already seen these, but in case you have not, they are worth the watch. You might as well listen to the guy who originated and built most of them that are out there......

Good Shooting->->->->Craig

Set up against a tree and build a teepee out of branches/brush about head height (sitting in the PacSeat) set in front of you. It will break up your outline, give you backcover and allow you to shoot to either side of the peak of it. I have thought about the same deal with a PacSeat and teepee frame covered with a lightweight camo material out front to make it more mobile.

I've done similar with a Wal mart folding stool. Don't know the Waldrop would any different.

just more comfortable

/check out Dave Toms video on how he sets up his pack seat. Quick and light set up.

Good video thanks Craig.

Ghillie luck

Try shooting straight to your front from a stool with your back to a tree. I think you will find that you have to twist( legs/hips) 90 deg to the right to make a comfortable shot. I prefer sitting on left (LH shooter) side of tree. I can then just raise bow and shoot forward with out twisting.

Come on boys let's see some photos!
