...Let me ask this for those of you that own one, what do you use that zippered pocket that runs down the back of the chair, it has an orange flag sewn in it???? Is this something important to most of you?...

I only use it after I get a bird.  I stuff my feather flex decoy into it, while the bird rides in the pouch.  The openings are a little too large on the pouch.  It's easy to get things in and out of it, BUT it's also easy for things to accidentally fall out.

yeah i use the slot for my stakes which i make from arrow shafts for easy carry, i dont like 2 piece decoy stakes.

i personally like the big back to carry my stuff but it can be an issue with stuff falling out if you are huffing it somewhere. i keep all kinds of stuff back there so my decs never fall out but have lost a pair of binos and some water bottles in it, however it does make it easier to get stuff in and out without taking the vest off.

the 2 piece frame is definitely a need if you are shipping them that much i know but if going that route it needs to be a very snug fit so it doesnt disconnect by mistake while trying to sit or move.

also the water proof material on the bottom of the vest and seat are fantastic options.

also i am not sure of each states rules but i thought some states required the orange material on public land or something so the slot is a great easy spot to hide that orange flag if your not using it.

Your right, I put it on and tried reaching back to snap the chair up in place, cant do it unless your a cat or Gumby. Changing that!!

It is in PA and always willbe, thats why we put a 12 x15 in our decoy bags and back packs.

This thing sounds cool, I wish somebody had pics up.  Sounds like what Cabelas maybe modeled my tac tat'r 2 with backrest after???  This thing must have been the original.

Yeah, I had to reach back and clip the left side...then switch my gun to the other shoulder...and then clip the right side...and finally switch my gun back.

yeah i always just left 1 undone, made it easier when i was trying to sit down fast.

Can you still get these. I have an older one I LOVED but my dog chewed the strap in half. I would either like to repair this one or get a new one

The only thing I don't like about mine is the box call pocket. It's just too small for a normal box call. I usually just stick mine thru the elastic loop on the outside of the box call pocket.
