Title: Cabelas Gobbler Lounger?
Post by: NYbassman on February 16, 2011, 10:22:06 AM
Anybody using one of these? I am thinking of buying one for my dad, he has trouble sometimes staying comfortable on the ground and I was thinking one of these might be the solution. If you could share your experiences with them that would be great.

Thanks,

Best chair you can get for the money.  You won't or he won't be disappointed.  Beware of the Sand Man though!

I bought one when they first hit the market.  I love it !!  You sit close to the ground but not on the ground.  Folds up so you can sling it over your shoulder while on the move.  The comfort allows you to sit longer.  I highly recommend it !!   :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

I think the Gobbler Loungers are nice, but I've been using an Everest San Angelo Camo recliner for several years. I chose it over the Gobbler Lounger because it has a wider base, keeping it from sinking in to the ground, and it's infinitely adjustable for uneven ground, front leg support, and back tilt. It's rated for 250 lbs, but I'm a big man, and weigh over 300 and the recliner has held up to all the abuse I could give it. Another plus is when its folded up, I can slide it in between my game bag and seat pad on my turkey vest, leaving my hands free.

The price here is $50.00, but I've seen them for less at Amazon and Dicks Sporting Goods.

I love mine. Both myself and my son have one. Very comfortable.
The best part is your legs don't fall asleep from sitting on the ground.
The bad part is the rest of you does........... :TooFunny: :TooFunny:

Awesome seat for a long hunt.  Loved a borrowed one last year and bought one for this season.

Also got the lounge sack from customgunsocks.com  --  member on this site.

They are a very nice piece of gear I highly recommend them.  The only negative to them, is hte cheap carry strap that they ahve on them.  Before this season, I'm gonna figure out a way to add another better quality more comfortable strap.

Good idea, because thats all the lounger is, a lawn chair.

My son got me one, it came in Wed. I think it will help me a lot with my bad knees to stay still. I'm just not comfortable on the ground for an extended period of time.

I loved mine so much I got one for my Dad and brother. Since their on sale, I'll probably get a spare too.  :you_rock:

I love my gobbler lounger and I even bought the bag from custom gun socks.com to carry it in.
Title: Re: Cabelas Gobbler Lounger?

What I like about it also is when I bend my knees it puts me in a perfect position to shoot and steady my gun. Best money spent

Post by: Duke0002 on February 18, 2011, 10:33:30 AM
I saw the ad where its rated at 200lbs.  That leaves me out. 

I'm going to get a beach chair when they're put out in the big box stores.  A little camo spraying and I should be OK.

Post by: Saylfish on February 18, 2011, 06:37:40 PM
When you get out of the chair, be careful not to put your hand on the handles and push up with all your weight. I think JIMBOB  bent his that way.

Don't buy one. Buy at least two. Simply awesome (from someone with back problems)

I've got one and love it. I've had 2 back operstions and this turkey seat is the ticket. To bad this seat
is build in China. If this chair was made here in the USA, it would be perfect.

I don't know about no 200lb weight limit. I aint been 200lbs since the 1980's and my Lounger is holdin' up just fine. I ease into it and ease out of it and no problems so far in 2 seasons. :you_rock:

I weigh 235 and have had no problems with the gobbler lounger holding my weight either. One end of the carry strap pulled loose so I simply attached one of my old rifle slings to the chair. Works great.

NYbassman, go ahead and buy the Gobbler Lounge. I've been using mine going on 4 seasons. I love it, it's easy to tote, and easy to set up, and comfy to sit in. You can't go wrong with it, trust me! :icon_thumright:

I love mine.  The first thing I did when I bought it was to put on a rubber sling strap so I wear the seat bandolero style.  Very comfortable and the strap is holding up great.  I think this will be the 3rd season I/m using it.

The other solution to cabelas aluminum lawn chair is an all wood one on my back which I am told by field trial our is more comfortable.
