Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

We are proud to announce the new team (Danny Breault and Tim Shiver) at The Waldrop Company. Home of the Waldrop PacSeat. We have joined forces in the manufacturing and development of new and exciting additions. We have successfully engineered a Turkey that is ready for shipping. The Turkey Seat is similar to the Standard PacSeat with the exception of it sitting roughly 8 inches lower. We have also developed a GameSac for mounting to any of the PacSeats. We are in the process of developing more exciting additions and will be posting those in the near future. We have plenty of stock on both the Standard PacSeat as well as the Turkey PacSeat. Both seats are extremely versatile in terms of free standing or leaning against a tree. Now is the time to purchase! Please don't wait until hunting season as they will go fast. We would love any feed back you have on your experience with the PacSeat. Visit us at https://www.waldroppacseat.com

Weight 5.5 lbs
Sitting Weight 400lbs
Game Carry Weight 150lbs

How high off the ground is the turkey pac seat (the seat is not fully deployed in the main picture, so i was not sure)? Maybe better way to ask is, How low can you set the seat off the ground for more concealment? Even more important to me, Are the legs adjustable for uneven ground?

I noticed the 150 pound pack limit, so is this designed to pack out game and is there any video or anything to show that being done on you tube or anything? It looks well made and the lifetime warranty on all parts - besides paint is appealing. Thanks for the reply.

$338 for a seat after shipping is pretty steep...best of luck, but I have a feeling that you'll find trouble getting traction with this product since it doesn't offer much that other seats do, like being ultra lightweight, etc.

I wish you well.    But I doubt it will be a big mover amongst turkey hunters.   I think the majority of turkey hunters are lightening the load with each passing year.   A five pound seat might be a bit much.   But I do wish you well.

I agree with others, not something i would buy .. but good luck with it going forward.

I don't know how many were produced, but I'd reckon there will be quite a few left come next turkey season.

Good luck though. Hope you sell all of them and make enough money to pay for a couple tanks of gas come next turkey season.

I was interested in the seat until I saw the price. Could not distinguish any added advantage for the price. Wish them significant sales

I would encourage folks to try this 100% the advantages are many... First and foremost this is the most comfortable seat that I have ever used.  It's the perfect height from the ground to sit comfortable and use your knee as a rest.  When using the self standing portion of the chair it fits perfect in a blind because you can adjust the level of the rear self assisted seat to make it the desired height that you want.  Or you can adjust the self level rear portion lower to take you closer to the ground.   Price is always a consideration when buying hunting products, but when I purchased mine I took into account the cost of a turkey vest with leg assist seat, and its actually less expensive than most of those..    Also packing out it is a dream.. Having the frame which is unbelievably light weight it makes it very comfortable.  For reference I packed out 19 birds this year with this chair so I gained some experience.  I purchased one to try and I was amazed at the versatility of being able to lean against a tree, use as a self standing chair, or just run and gun with it on my back.  I wouldn't critique this chair too much.  I have a pile of friends that have tried and they also were amazed at the change in comfort and versatility.  I get that you can purchase a umbrella folding camo beach chair for $40 at a box store... this is not that.... When I buy things I try to buy a premium product that will last a long time so my kids may enjoy it.. This is the closest thing I have ever found.  Im thankful a premium product addition to this category gents... hope all are well.  I've got lots of experience with this chair and if anyone wants to chat privately im happy to help.

I heard about this seat later in this past season. I typically use a inter-tube seat for easy of carry. I got the Pac Seat and started carrying it.
I have to say its very lite weight and is very well built. Set up is a snap wheither leaning on a tree or with legs folded down, and the comfort level is unmatched in any other chair type seat I have ever used. Its a breeze to carry as a pack and not bulky slinged like a folding chair is. The free movement the Pac Seat allows for shifting at critical moments is great. It has you in the right position for elbow to knees at the right height for shooters support in the critical moments before the shot. Its a great built product I expect to get many years of use from. Hope the guys the best with the new product, I sure like mine alot.

I forgot to mention that one of the first questions I asked when buying mine was IS THIS MADE IN THE USA??? ANSWER : YES hand made in the US by a US Veteran.. I'm as guilty as the next for buying inexpensive, over seas products on occasion,  sometimes without even asking the question.  And I'm not against most foreign countries or people, but if I can keep some of my money here in the States with a great product I am happy to do so.  Thanks all. Happy Hunting.

I have his original pac seat. I use it for squirrel hunting. I love it. Top quality from a great guy.

First impressions on the product for consideration by the folks involved in the company: (hopefully taken as constructive suggestions)
>  Probably would have been a good idea to put pictures of a new sample of the product rather than what is obviously a well-used version.  The duct tape, tennis balls, and ragged-looking materials probably won't help in the sales department.  :)
>  It basically appears to be a pack frame modified to include a seat. Flimsy shoulder straps shown ain't gonna cut it for anybody that is going to use this as a regular backpack, much less for carrying any sort of weight.  Put some good, padded straps and waist belt on it if you expect anybody to purchase it to carry any significant weight for any distance. 
>  General (For me, personally):  Perceived value of product relative to price point is questionable, especially when compared to similar products on the market.

Having said all of the above,...best of luck with it.  Good to see folks taking the initiative to try to improve products for sportsmen!    :icon_thumright:

I have to disagree and I think that most who have the chair would also.. I could absolutely see the straps looking flimsy, but they are great... I carried out 19 turkeys with it this year and loved the comfort.. Mind you I have experience with packs.. I own a Exo 4800, Outdoorsman spur 50, Mystery Metcalf and a few others that I carry out elk and other critters with... These guys kept the weight down, and made it manageable.  I got the most recent version of the chair, and it's powder coated and beautiful.. The tennis balls are outstanding because they keep the legs from sinking into the sand, mud or other terrain. This absolutely is a pack Frame with a low seat options and it totally can carry weight.. I totally understand that critique, but a pile of turkey hunters are currently using literally a beach chair with a camo pattern with zero ability to pack out or add value to the hunt.. This is a new option with a great future.. For those critiquing with no experience I would recommend you  give it a try.  I have no stake in this company, but I have taken a pile of hunters hunting with it.. Every single one said it was the best hunting chair they have ever sat in, and it made a significant difference in their hunt.  This is a USA made veteran company and you guys are ragging on it for cost and pictures.  If purchasing a chair on Amazon works for you more power to you, but I would encourage you to give it an actual shot before sending negative insights based on pics.  Im not usually very passionate about hunting gear especially chairs, but I can tell you with an extremely high level of certainty that: you're wrong about the flimsy straps and inability to pack a load out.  This chair really changed the game for me hunting this year.  I hunt some area that you have to relocate a good bit, and other areas that you need to hike in a while.. The speed that you can set up and readjust in this seat is exceptional.  If better glamour shots are needed here's the website and I did just notice that it's on a sale for $288 for those interested.  I hope this message isn't taken as defensive I'm just very certain that if you try it you will love it.. I literally have almost every piece of turkey gear you can imagine.  This thing is the real deal. 

Again,...just offering constructive suggestions on how to improve on the product to appeal to a wider customer base. 

It is promoted as being able to carry 150 pounds.  Note: There is a major difference between carrying a twenty pound turkey out of the woods, regardless of the distance, than there is in carrying fifty-plus pounds or more of gear or meat from a big game animal.  Simply stated, to be used as a pack frame for carrying any significant amount of weight (as it is being promoted as), the shoulder strap system is totally inadequate, and there needs to be a padded waist belt added. 

If the company wants to sell this product as promoted, they need to cover all the bases that will be obvious to the knowledgeable consumer.  To me, the most obvious is the strap system.  ...Just constructive advice,...take it,...or leave it.   :icon_thumright: :)

Thank you for the constructive suggestions! However, We have clients that have had the seat for 20 years hunting everything from Elk to Deer to Turkey to Wild Bore. The seat packs out fine and have never had any complaints on the comfort or the straps, seat or any other area of the seat. I would hope that there would have been some experiance with the seat before there is such criticism. These seats are Made In the USA 100% and we offer a lifetime guarantee on them. Good luck finding that on Amazon products made in China! If your looking for something that will last, we have the PacSeat, if your looking for some disposable seats, then keep buying the china made equipment.

I think the comment about trying the seat has validity but also poses a problem. How can you try the seat unless you but it? I would not want to spend $300.00 to test the product. Do you offer a return policy?

We offer a 100% Guarantee on the seat. If you can honestly relay that you are completely not satisfied with the seat, you may return the seat in the same condition you recieved it and we will refund 100%. However, if find that the seat is as described and to your satisfaction,  I would ask that you convey that on the forum.

My wife once ask me for my thoughts on something. I told her and she got mad and started arguing with me.  I told her to NOT ASK FOR MY THOUGHTS IF ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS ARGUE.

I think there is some comprehension issue in your reading of the initial message.... " We would love any feed back you have on your experience with the PacSeat".  YOUR EXPERIENCE.... Why would someone ask for feedback from peeps that haven't held, sat in, or hunted with a product.. On top of that the criticism has been primarily price which has been totally subjective... I have spent more on a Tenzing vest that turned out to be garbage... Just seems like folks that don't want to pay the price trying to find a reason to bash a great US made product..

I'll never understand folks that make initial posts with an exciting new product be a negative comment, and I hope it doesn't happen to them frequently in their life or ventures... The gentleman that hand makes these is a salt of the earth dude, and I feel genuinely bad for the direction this thread started.. It was unnecessary, but I guess there is that old saying "There's no such thing as bad publicity" :funnyturkey:

  I guess I am having a hard time understanding some folks also as mentioned above , and maybe I also have a comprehension problem .
I am trying to comprehend someone with just five post using this board as free advertisement and unable to handle constructive criticism from someone with almost 5,000 post on this board and has not used it for personal gain since I started following this forum .
To say you cant make some deductions about a product just by visual observation of a picture is untrue . Of all places to make such a comment is on this site where we buy , sell , trade turkey calls on here with just pictures of the call .Have you ever bought on e-bay or Amazon ? Can someone who has been hunting all their life not be able to make a determination on , oh lets say a deer stand by looking at it or does it have to be strapped on a tree and you sitting in it .
  If one understood this site they would know there is a product review category or miscellaneous classified for such things . But that wouldn't get the same amount of hits would it?
Maybe your post number six can contribute to the forum rather than try to profit .
  Also , I prefer to buy American , But we export and depend selling our grain , beef , oil , planes etc abroad . This is a world market . Saying repeatably made in America is not a absolute that someone buy your product .
Finally . I didn't carry 19 birds out this year , but I can carry them out in my vest just fine .

I think that some suggestions are definitely one thing, but I absolutely disagree with folks taking digs, suggesting its flimsy, and making negative comments.. under your premise we should be harder and shittier to new members trying to show their product.. So because they have 5 posts and another has 5000 they should give pricing advice and make derogatory comments about a product..    Gobblenut suggested adding a waist belt... which the chair already has, and I literally cut mine off day 1 because I didn't need it on the chair.  I guess if I had a question about the integrity of the straps I might ask: anyone have any feedback on the straps or photos of the chair being utilized carrying a bird out.  I wouldn't call something totally inadequate..That's disrespectful.  For that type of language I would expect someone to have put hands on the product. Also I think it's common sense that people probably won't be carrying out 150lb loads with a turkey chair. It just seems sad to me that this forum seems to represent more negativity at times than really is necessary.. . These gents simply wanted to show off their chair which is really neat.. I've spoke with the guy building this I can promise you this isn't a get rich scheme by any accounts.  Just a good ole boy that love his invention and is sharing it with the world trying to get buy. Lastly the made in American comment isn't made to degrade those doing business overseas...The company I work for does business overseas, and my family has several adopted children from China and Korea.  It was a reference to peoples cost assessment.  It's widely understood that USA hand made products are typically more expensive than overseas or knockoff products. Rising tides raise all ships.  I guess im just surprised at the reception..

For someone bringing a product to market, there is nothing better than feedback. As I said in my previous post, I bought one.I've got different folding chairs that I occasionally use at times when I know I'm going to stay stationary. For me, the compact folders are restrictive to move in. I can't turn when a bird comes in from the sides- the are bulky and awkward to carry also. I decide to try this Pack Seat, and it provided extreme comfort and the free ability to turn in your set up easily in the moment. It's the perfect height. The ease of strapping gear to the frame is a advantage too. And the comfort this char provides is unmatched! The first hunt I took it on I was on the phone telling friends about this unique product. I see the owner of the company in this thread, and I'm sure he's taking all the suggestions into account- that a good thing. He's got something that is unique and has a place in the market. As more people are exposed to this chair with trying it , people will see the benefits and quality it is. Glad to see a Veteran making a place in the market and wish him the best with this cool product !!! 

I truly hope for the best outcome in this veterans venture into the turkey hunting chair market. If this chair was $100 I'd try one just for the US veteran aspect. But the picture does not display a chair worth $300, in my opinion.

First, let me say that my post was never meant to cause such discourse.  Rather to provide you with info about a great product, proven product that has been made for roughly 20 years. It has a proven record and I'm am sorry for everyone that has commented so negatively will not experience the produ t. I am also on other forums such as TradGang and never have I been so Lambasted as I have here. My only motivation was to make you aware of the seat. Buy it, don't buy it. I am perfectly fine with criticism but to criticize a product you've never seen or used seems a bit lopsided. Happy Hunting!

I will, in return, state that I also never meant to cause any backlash regarding my comments on your product.  I apparently misinterpreted your original post as a request for comments on the product as based on the pictures, and more specifically, how it might be improved upon as per your quote "We would love any feed back."  Well, I gave you my honest feedback,...clearly prefaced as being "constructive suggestions",..and with no intention of "lambasting" anybody in the process.  From my personal standpoint, sorry things got turned sideways.  There was no intention of doing so.  I am sure most others that commented here feel the same.  Carry on...    :icon_thumright: :)

Yes sir! We are down the road on 5731 Miller Court. Come see us.....I'll hook you up with a seat sir! Free of charge!

I may swing by one day next week and take a look at your operation.   Would love to see one in person.

The crew is normally there from 7am to at least 3pm. This time of year the warehouse will bake you so sometimes we leave earlier. Call me and let me know your coming so I can be there. 706 587 0833

Will do.  It would probably be mid-morning Tuesday or Thursday.   But I'll give you a call before I head that way.

Couldn't agree more here. I don't think there is a chair on the planet worth half that price and especially not one at this weight. It's pretty heavy.

I stopped by their shop this morning.  Met Tim, fine fellow,  and he showed me around.   I got to try out the standard model and the shorter turkey version.   I can say it is very well made, and would be a one and done chair.  Very comfortable, and quiet.   After holding one I didn't think there was any way it weighed 5 1/2 pounds.   I would have guessed about 3 pounds.  And on your back it feels like even less.   Tim gave me one to field test.   I opted for the standard version because I'll probably use it for hog hunting before I get a chance to turkey hunt.  After getting it home I put it on the digital scale and it topped out at 5.1 lbs.   So I'd guess the turkey version would be about 8 ounces to a pound lighter.   I can see where this seat would really be appealing to big game hunters who prefer to stay on the ground versus a tree stand.   Probably be a harder sell to your average mobile turkey hunter. 

Some concerns were mentioned about the straps in earlier posts.   I don't think there would be any issues associated with the straps.  Very sturdy and double sewn.   The only concern I see for me is the angle of the backrest.   It's comfortable no doubt.  When I adjust the back to a comfortable sitting position for me everything is fine, but if I take my back off the back rest and lean toward the front of the seat, my weight shifting more to the front of the seat causes the back legs to come off the ground about an inch.  Still not an issue and still comfortable.  But by doing this my legs become the front legs of the chair.  Granted this only happens when I lean way forward and put my elbows on my knees.  This wouldn't happen in the turkey model, and could be eliminated by buckling one of the straps around a tree.

I can see where the price point might be a turn off for some.   But some things are better built than others.   TSS, high end optics, guns etc.   Overall a well made American product made by good ole boys. 

Tim, thanks for your generosity and for taking the time to show me around.  Good luck with the sales, and I'll send you some pictures off and on.   

 

NWTF Convention is Nashville would be a great place to get your product in the hands of hunters.
Not only could they try it out before buying but most good products will sell themselves in that type of setting.

Thank you for the great review this really helps. I remember your sound advise on the Holosun green dot a few years ago/ Now I only have to figure out a way to get that expense past the CFO aka wife without her knowing........LOL

Good luck with that :TooFunny:

I think it will take more than luck. I need to make her think it is her idea to make this purchase...LOL

Do what I do.....don't tell her. ????

Bunch of guys complaining about the price of a chair that spend more on a device to make turkey noises. 

I bought one of the very first "turkey" model seats that Mr. Waldrop built.   The chair is one of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat it.  It's also very versatile with it being able to be used leaned up on a tree.   It took some time to figure out the correct setup for different terrain but once you get it down, it's a snap.   No fumbling around taking a gobble lounger out of the bag or undoing Velcro straps to deploy.   The backpack straps are really nice and it's the lightest chair I've ever toted.  Sure, it's on the expensive side,  but it's made in the USA by a great fella who guarantees his work.   It's just another tool in the arsenal that allows me to stay still and in the woods longer due to the comfort aspect and of the chair.  Hunting in general has become a very expensive hobby and most guys on here are toting $1K plus shotguns, paying $10 each for shells, $200 for vests, $300-$400 for boots, $150 pants and $200+ for custom calls.   If you don't want to pay that much for an item, DONT, but don't ridicule others who do.  We all know there's guys who kill piles of turkeys using a cane reed, ole single shot 12ga using copper plated 6's in blue jeans and a flannel shirt but there's also guys who use very expensive gear who kill piles of turkeys too.   To each his own.   

Predator hunters out West who are mobile and hunt different sets every 30 minutes would love this.   That the first thing I thought of when I sat in it.   Open terrain, this chair, a caller and a shooting stick. 

I believe this is what NutterBuster uses for deer hunting and he loves his. He's packed deer out with his so the straps can't be that bad. You get what you pay for. I've gone through a few gobbler chairs from Walmart and I don't even use them that much. I usually don't regret spending more for higher quality. I'd like to try one one of these out.

Cool seat. Thanks for sharing it with us? Couple of questions for you. Will the smaller turkey seat pack weight just as easily as the larger eight inch higher seat? Also, will the turkey seat adjust just as well with the back bar for uneven ground or is it harder to get the smaller turkey seat to level up when encountering uneven ground?

I was pondering using the slightly lower seat to deer hunt for better concealment (closer to the ground), and we hunt smaller mountain deer and the most weight I would be packing out when deer hunting would be generally no more (but usually LESS than) 60-70 pounds. These mountain deer are just smaller. The terrain is tough, so I am much more picky about what I shoot up there, so the chair frame would not be hauling meat too often (likely only once or maybe twice a year), but wanted to see if you thought your frame (strength wise) was up to this deer hunting need in addition to maybe using it for turkey hunting? Thanks

The Turkey Seat has the same weight specs for pack out as the standard seat. The only difference is it is 8" lower to the ground. The rear leg is made to be unlatched and flipped up to allow for leaning against a tree or other structure. In this case, there is room between the 2 front legs to go over tree roots or to get it leveled on the ground. As with any seat, it might take some manipulation on uneven terrain.

Thank you all for your constructive feed back. We have heard you and have made great strides to try and get the cost of the seat lower. As of this week, we have been able to secure bulk pricing on our material. This is huge for our little business and we are proud to be able to pass the immediate savings on to our customers. Our hope is to have this price change perminant. Beginning this weekend, we are lowing the price of both the Standard PacSeat and the Turkey Seat to $225.00 per Seat. This should be reflected on our web site by tomorrow. We will continue to lower costs where possible and as we do, we will gladley pass those savings along.

That's a much more reasonable price point. Congrats on securing the bulk pricing.

I have one of the original seats and I use it all the time. Fishing, dove hunting, and mostly deer hunting. Makes a great camp chair, and I've taken it to my grandkids ball games too.

Quality made product from a great guy.

I have the original & its great. For those that think its expensive, well it is, but its the best, Mike

I realize this is an older thread. For you gentleman that have bought the turkey chair how is it working out. I understand that the packability is not the same as the the original as the bottom bar prevent the pass through. My main thought would be to use the turkey chair as a quick set up deer hunting because my climber days are coming to an end. I would also use it for turkey hunting because the ground is getting tuff at my age. One question is it under new ownership? I have an assortment of chairs and seat but i like the backpack option. Good day.

I have both and will attest to the quality.  The regular chair is going in my duck boat this season so it should get a workout. I love the turkey seat but I got it late so I haven't used it a whole lot.

Well it looks like I'm on hold for a while. I was opting for the turkey seat which is not in production now for a few weeks. And production is lagging because of the storm. Very understandable.

First and foremost this is the most comfortable seat that I have ever used.  It's the perfect height from the ground to sit comfortable and use your knee as a rest.  When using the self standing portion of the chair it fits perfect in a blind because you can adjust the level of the rear self assisted seat to make it the desired height that you want.  Or you can adjust the self level rear portion lower to take you closer to the ground.   Price is always a consideration when buying hunting products, but when I purchased mine I took into account the cost of a turkey vest with leg assist seat, and its actually less expensive than most of those..    Also packing out it is a dream.. Having the frame which is unbelievably light weight it makes it very comfortable.  For reference I packed out 19 birds this year with this chair so I gained some experience.  I purchased one to try and I was amazed at the versatility of being able to lean against a tree, use as a self standing chair, or just run and gun with it on my back.  I wouldn't critique this chair too much.  I have a pile of friends that have tried and they also were amazed at the change in comfort and versatility.  I get that you can purchase a umbrella folding camo beach chair for $40 at a box store... this is not that.... When I buy things I try to buy a premium product that will last a long time so my kids may enjoy it.. This is the closest thing I have ever found.  Im thankful a premium product addition to this category gents... hope all are well.  I've got lots of experience with this chair and if anyone wants to chat privately im happy to help.

I hope your a guide.and didn't personally kill 19 birds last spring.
