Just ordered a hammock seat from fanatic for my father in law for Christmas. I had some money left on an amazon gift card so I have a dead ringer hammock seat on order for me(but they are out of stock at the moment) Dead ringer is the one I got.

Turkey lounge chair and a primos shooting stick is death on deer. All you got to do is tuck away in some cover. That's exactly how I hunt now. Crossings, not flood plots. don't see the number of deer anymore, but I see a lot more bucks.

So tell me more bout these “hammock seats” I got mine off Amazon just put in "Hammock hunting seat" Wiley shared a link a couple of years ago and it's all I carry now. I had never heard of that until reading it in this thread. I looked it up and it's interesting. How does it compare with a gobbler lounger? The disadvantage that's obvious is that you must have a tree, and the lounger doesn't need one. Also, when sitting in a lounger, my knees are up and I can rest the gun on them and be very steady. I don't need a shooting stick with a lounger, but it looks like the hammock gets you further off the ground and I might need one. Is this right? I have carried the lounger on nearly every rifle hunt I've been on this year. I think I got in a ladder stand once. In many situations I think my odds of success go up in a tree, but I am usually choosing comfort in my old age. I also use a roll up blind when sitting in the lounger and I think that it improves my odds on the ground. If you set it up right, only your head is visible above it.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Yes the hammock seat gets you up off the ground a couple of feet.I've used the primos trigger stick for deer and turkey hunting since they came out.You can swivel around and almost shoot 360 around the tree also.

The ability to adjust from sitting on the ground is huge. Swirling winds, adjusting to movement you have already seen, or just cold feet, hunting from the ground offers the ability to move, which is very benefical. However, sllllllow movement and utilizing terrain features is key.
Helpful hint: I always keep a pair of heavy duty medical scissors with we to snip limbs and boats as I move. You can make a lot less noise by cutting as you go.
