Anyone using Waldrop Turkey pacseat for deer hunting? I just ordered one. Robert Carter has a YouTube video and Jayson from tbwpcast just did a review.

Yes I have the regular one and really like it! I sold all my stands and I'm gonna stay on the ground with my pacseat and long bow. I was thinking the Turkey seat would work better for me and I like having a backup setup.I don't own one, but those videos did make my wallet nervous for a while, lol. I was sort of surprised by the size difference since I had seen some reviews on here that seemed to indicate that there was not too much size difference. I'll be interested to see what you think. I love the full size one I have, and I hunted out of it quite a bit this past season and had no trouble getting onto deer off the ground. Do you already have the full size?
I'll probably end up with one myself. I really like hunting off the ground now. I won't completely give up hunting out of the saddle because some of my prime spots warrant it but the simplicity, safety and ease of using the Packseat is hard to beat.Yes I have the regular one and really like it!

When did you order? I ordered on 4/17 I haven't heard anything yet it's was saying 27 in stock. Now it's saying 20 in stock I was hoping to get it quick I only have 2 weeks of Turkey season!I have one on order as well and plan on deer hunting with it this fall with both the compound and long bow. I've been going back and forth between the full sized seat and turkey seat for a while now and Jason's video sold me on the turkey seat. I generally like to sit as low as possible when I'm set up on the ground, but there are definitely times when sitting up a little higher offers better visibility.
I’ve got a chair very similar to this, but bought it at the local Walmart. I’m in the process of replacing the broken rivets in the swivel portions of it. If the heads ain’t broke, its worn the holes out. It lasted all of a season between my son and me sharing it.Barronett makes a turkey seat at a much better price point.
Maybe, but you get what you pay for. The baronett is made overseas, has a 1 year warranty (vs lifetime on the Pac Seat), weighs 2.5lbs more, can't act as a pack frame, and has no adjustability. It also looks like it would be almost impossible to shoot a longer bow out of, and less than optimal even for a short recurve, but I haven't sat in one. If you've got one I'd be interested in what bow you shoot out of it and what pros/cons you've seen with it.Barronett makes a turkey seat at a much better price point.
I've got one very similar to that one that I rescued after a friend of mine chunked it in the bushes after a rivet broke. I took it home, fixed it and I have been using it for years with only occasional repairs. I prefer a very low chair like that for turkeys since I use a shotgun for them. I've shot quite a few birds and a couple of deer out of that kind, but I am thinking about the turkey Packseat for deer and hog hunting.Barronett makes a turkey seat at a much better price point.

I’m with you, I make the same judgement calls and they can go either way based on the value proposition. I’ve got a Baronnett blind I use for turkeys. Good blind.I just wanted to add to the turkey seat conversation and throw out a cheaper option for guys to look at compared to the $225 dollar pac seat. I've had nothing but good luck with Barronett Blinds, their top shelf blinds are hands down the best in the market. Some American products are worth the cost, I have to pick and choose where I splurge and a chair isn't one of those things personally.
Cabelas makes one for $30 i think. Alps Outdoorz and Browning make a similar one too for $40-50.Barronett makes a turkey seat at a much better price point.
