Loungers are on sale at Cabelas for $20.
nice, is that chair really any different than the Walmart one also for $20 ? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mossy-Oak-Turkey-Thug-Gobbler-Chair/22281732
besides the camo..look the same to me
I have a couple of the Walmart ones but not the Cabelas so can't say for sure. The one thing I can see in the photo is the Cabelas seems to have a single piece of material for the seat. The Walmart version has a seat with a separate center panel with stitching all around, and on one of mine that stitching is loosening up.
also appears the walmart one doesn't come with a carry bag...
Thanks for the heads-up. I just ordered two, one for my son and a backup for me. The Gobbler Lounger has been a real game changer for my turkey hunting. I can sit for a few hours in mine if needed.
I just ordered 1, figured it couldn't hurt to have one

I have both kinds. The Gobbler Lounger is a bit lighter and quieter.
The material on the Wal Mart one tends to squeak or rub when you move a little.
The GL is rated for 225 and the WM one is rated for 250 lbs.
I weigh about 230 and the GL has lasted several years. I bought the WM one for my grandsons (and as a spare).
They feel about the same as far as comfort...very good!
Yeah thanks for sharing. Gonna order another one today! :)
Thanks for heads up...got mine ordered.

It's lighter? So much for the Walmart chair, then. ;)

Thank you for that info. I would have guessed about a half pound difference. Not really that much when carrying it in a Hunting USA bag but you can feel it when hefting them side by side.
I didnt think it was that much either but i put them on the same scale.
I bought a couple of the Gobbler Lounger back in april when they had them on sale for the same price. One of them broke the second day I used it. Took it back & the replaced it without a problem.
A couple of weeks ago I was in Walmart and picked up a couple of the Turkey Thug chairs for $15 ea.
I haven't used the TT chair yet, but from what I can see, about the only real difference is the GL has a carry bag and TT has strap & no bag.
I took a ride to the new Cabelas in MA before the season opened. Didn't need anything, but the wife said you've got to buy something. My old Gobbler Lounger broke, but I've lost some weight, so I picked up a new one at full price. Oh well. It really does change things when there are no trees where you need to set-up and be absolutely still. Helped me tag out this year.
