I have a turkey seat that I love but can't find anymore and don't know who made it. Theirs some close to it but the legs dnt fold inside of them like this one does to pack flat.

It use to have a little back on it that I cut off too so keep that in mind. The back was like a pad with rods in it on the ends and it was adjusted with two straps as you'll see the tension pulls on it.

That's the closest looking but now the ones they make have legs that dnt fold flat and under. Maybe they changed design. Idk why they'd change that though but.....

Been along time since I've seen ones like pictured, all the newer ones have individual legs that are great for sinking in the mud. For some reason when something works someone somewhere has to change it or make it cheaper.
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?

Ain't that the truth! Would live to find one just to have as a backup. If it ever breaks I'm sure I could modify the newer ones to be about the same.

Seems they don't think much about people that hunt the soft ground swamps with designs

The frame looks good on the one you have.  If you want to repair the seat, it would be an easy fix with new webbing.  Take the screws out from below, go on ebay or amazon and find some lawn chair webbing or nylon webbing of your choice and you'll have a brand new chair.

Definitely a H S Strut seat. I had one. Had a pad on it and a strap that would go around you waist like a belt to carry it.

I may still have it somewhere but I think I sold it. It was a little clumsy to carry. The metal sides would clank now & then against brush, didn't like that.

The legs are a good design tho. The little bit of rise the seat gave was nice in some situations to see over brush but you could sit on it flat too. The angle it gave you to sit on was nice to in a lot of set ups. Wasn't the most comfortable sitting flat tho.

Nah I was just looking to try to find another just to have since they apparently don't make them

Yea mine fits good and quiet in my back game pouch of my vest. Little tricky to get it in and out without removing the vest but can be done


I cut the back off mine as you can see because it wasn't very useful and real short. I just use it at the base of trees just as I would sit without a chair.

I'll search the Internet now since I know who made it, maybe something will turn up

You might find a camo Stearns throw PDF/cushion boatseat to be a suitable alternative.  And lighter and quieter.
