I love my BassPro branded version of the Bucklick Creek.
Had the original, this one is good too.
I've tried others, not the tactical tater, but I haven't found one I like anywhere near as good.
I also use a Gobbler Lounger quite a bit, I just put the vest beside me and relax.
It is a bit heavier than some, (not a lot) but it works so well I deal with that.

I just bought the Bucklick creek so I haven't taken it out yet but I believe it will be very nice just from sitting around in the house

I have used one for 8-9 yrs. The only other vest I have used is a cheap Walmart special that used for 2-3 before getting the Bucklick Creek vest. The pad is the seat of my Bucklick vest is pretty much non-existent. I carry a 2" pad with me and very seldom use the pad attached to the vest. The longer part of the vest is nice, especially when you can't find a good tree to lean against, but it does have a tendancy to make my legs go to "sleep" after about 1/2 hr. Then I'm moving around trying to get comfy again....movement not good when turkey hunting. It has several(4?) big zippered pockets with mesh dividers and loops for shells/strikers to hold your stuff. Over all it's good a vest. Like I said my vest is 8-9 maybe 10 yrs old.....I'm guessing the design has changed some and possibly a completely different vest than mine.

I had the original bucklick creek vest and used it for 8-9 seasons as well before I bought my limbhanger. I loved the self supporting seat. But the pockets didn't provide me with enough storage as I accumulated more calls. Also trying to run and gun with this vest sometimes became difficult as I would often have to take the vest off in order to fold the bottom seat section back up to Velcro it to be back and I would often get a muddy back because the bottom of the seat folds up and is exposed to your back.

With that said I passed mine down to a buddy that I got hooked and he loves it, especially since it didn't cost him a dime.

I love mine. I hunt a lot of fields that don't have anything to lean on. Comes in very handy. Even when in the woods I can tuck myself up into thick cover when there isn't any trees to set against

I used one for several years.  It was nice, except I wish I had waited for the high back version.  The older one bit into my ribs after a while.

I've debated getting a bucklick creek for a while now but have heard negative reviews about their durability since bass pro started making them. Anyone with a newer turkey lounger had any issues?

Definitely would like to see a review. Seriously looking at getting one. The price is right.....

the price seems right just not sure about weight, heat, durability
