        The Huntmore 360 Stool – A Review

        This stool has gotten a lot of press from the ATA show but I could find very few reviews from endusers. Hopefully, this post will be of some help to others who are considering the purchase of this product.
        Let me start out by telling you a little bit about how I hunt and the requirements I have for a stool. I hunt from the ground wearing a ghillie suit. The only blinds I use are those that I construct from the branches and foliage around me. I need to be mobile in order to quickly set up somewhere else if the wind becomes unfavorable in my present location. I carry a backpack with me that contains my ghillie suit, some water and all the various and sundry tools that bowhunters use. I hunt primarily in the hilly terrain of the Missouri Ozarks. I need a stool that is easily carried, quick to set up, has adjustable legs, and is comfortable.
        I bought a Huntmore stool on a whim. I had recently come into a windfall of cash and decided to treat myself to a piece of equipment I normally would not have spent that much money on. However, I found the infinitely adjustable legs, the dead silent swivel and the claimed comfort of the stool too irresistible to pass up. Yes, I had misgivings about the chair’s weight but the only way I was going to be able to test one of these contraptions out was to buy one. To see pictures of this stool, go to http://www.huntmore.biz.
        When my Huntmore stool was delivered, the first indication that I had that I probably wasn’t going to be satisfied with it was the size of the box it came in. The box was over 2 feet long and about a foot wide and high. The UPS label on its end said the package weighed 14 pounds. At first I thought maybe the box had a lot of packing material in it but when it was opened I found it was all chair. Another thing I noticed was that it had “Made in China” stamped all over it. That is a big deal to some folks.
        The chair itself (only 8.5 pounds) was nestled inside a carrying bag that wasn’t much smaller than the box it came in. The bag is made from some heavy woven fabric and has a reinforced bottom. It also has a nice, wide shoulder strap for toting the thing around.
        Putting the chair together I found to be a bit tedious. Instead of just unfolding it and sitting down, there is some assembly required each time you use it. You have to unfold the chair and loop and tighten a tension strap through two rings in order to hold the two back supports steady. Then you slide the back of the chair over the supports and tighten another tension strap down to hold the back in place. To put the seat on, you have to loop and tighten a tension strap at each of the three corners to an accompanying ring. Finally, you adjust the legs to the height you want and you are done. The instructions say that with practice you can get this whole process down between one and two minutes. I am skeptical of this claim but have no experience to either prove or refute it.
        Once the chair was together, the first thing that caught my eye was how big it was. This isn’t some dinky camping stool. This is a full-sized chair! The legs do adjust easily and silently and the seat does swivel a full 360 degrees without a sound. However, it was not nearly as comfortable as I thought it would be. The material used for the back and seat was not as soft and cushiony as I thought it would be and the way my legs straddled the seat made me feel like I was on horseback. If you are a large-framed person you probably would not have this problem but I’m 5’ 9” and weigh around 170 pounds and I felt that the seat was way too big for me.
        In just a short time, I decided I would send the chair back. If I’m going to spend $200 on a chair, that chair is going to meet my every need. This one did not. With a little break-in period, it might have gotten more comfortable and with some practice I might have been able to assemble it in the dark in a couple of minutes. But the thing I just could not get past was the chair’s weight and, especially, its bulk. I have 6-person tents that pack up smaller than this thing does! I have a hard enough time keeping my pack from catching on things as I walk through the woods. I don’t know how I would manage with that stool added to my equipment list.
        To sum up my experience, here are the Huntmore 360 stool’s pros and cons as I see them. Granted, I did not test the chair long and thoroughly but I know what I like and this isn’t it.

        PROS: This chair is built like a tank and should last forever. The design appears solid and the craftsmanship was superb. The legs are easily and infinitely adjustable and it does swivel all the way around in silence.

        CONS: The chair is heavy and just too big for me to be lugging it around in the woods. If you don’t have to be mobile, then you might not be bothered by this. I also thought the chair was uncomfortable and putting it together and taking it apart each time I used it would get old very quickly. And, yes, I think the price is about twice what it should be for this product.

          Darren — thanks for this honest review. It seems that more and more manufacturers of hunting gear never go hunting beyond a manufactured blind and build stuff for others of the same persuasion. Too much comfort is counterproductive to good hunting. Heavy bulky gear is coungterproductive to hunting. Spending lots of money on stuff we’re better off without is counterproductive to hunting. I’m with you on the brush blinds and ability to move about lightly and unemcumbered with gear. I do just find sitting on rocks or down tree trunks and the only “seat” I’ve ever needed is a piece of 1″ thick foam pad big enough to fit my skinny rear. If we bought everything everyone wants to sell us we’d all need 1-ton trucks to haul it and half a dozen porters to lug it all around for us. Hunt light, hunt happy! snuffy

            Hey Guys,

            Scott from HuntMore. Let me try and answer a few of your questions and remarks, and hopefully I will not come across defensive, and I promise I’m not personal attacking you or your opinion. Truthfully it’s a little hard, it’s kinda like someone telling you your baby is fat, stupid, and ugly. But I’m a committed person to open dialog and debate, it is the foundation of our great nation and incredible important to keep on with product development and improvement. I’m just hoping to persuade you to look at the 360º from another angle or two.

            But first, Darren, I enjoyed your last article on ground hunting that I read, great stuff, I actually was going to contact the editors and get you out a Demo 360º to test and give us feedback. So indirectly I’ve gotten the feedback, but I wish you had spent some more time with the 360º, learning to set it up and become more intimate with the product and actually hunted from it! The offer still stands. I am also curious… did you actually shoot from the 360º stool or just sit on it? Did you get a chance to see how the ergonomics and the rotation in the design actually helps you draw back your bow easier in a seated position then a fixed stool? or how the advantage of the rotation allows you to look over your shoulder easier or turn to where the game is and take the shot noiselessly? I’m always amazed how game shows up where we don’t expect it to be!

            The advantage of the rotation and comfort offsets the weight, at least in my book and hundreds of our happy customers. Less than 1% of our customers have returned the product from reasons you’ve stated. Some folks expect the easy of setting up of a bag chair, you missed the video link on youtube, but then forget how hard it was to shoot from a bag chair? Hunters should be more successful if you hunt from a stool that is actually designed to shoot from while seated! And not a stool that you have to distort your shooting form to get off a shot or a stool that you have to try and quietly slide off of and get on your knees and into shooting position. The advantage of being a instinctive Trad hunter is we can get away with more distortion of our form, but why do so when you don’t have to!

            As success story after success story are coming in from this years early Antelope bow hunters, I’m actual amazed on your “Not nearly that comfortable as I thought”. We’ve have also received great deal of feedback on the superior “all day comfort” of the 360º from this Springs Turkey hunters. I’m only hearing great things about the comfort? Did you have the seat pad pulled tight enough? I spent days afield, butt testing from dawn to dusk on the original 14″ seat, then to 16″ seat and now the production model 19x19x19″ foam seat pad. We tested and played around with foam densities and materials, as far as I know there’s not another rotating hunting stool out there as comfortable or durable hour after hour, day after day. I have friends and customers who tell me their office chair is not as comfortable as the 360º!

            At 50, I’m still an extreme sports addict, Trad. bow hunting included, I’m in great shape for my age but at 50, I love the advantage of a quite hunting chair that helps keep me warm, comfortable and relaxed. A chair comfortable enough to nap in now and again does not hurt either. I’ve actually had more complaints that it is too comfortable and that they will fall asleep in it! What a great place to nap, you’ll kill more deer napping in the woods than at home on the couch!

            I designed the HuntMore 360º because neither I or my Trad buddies could find a good quality “Hunting” stool on the market. Combined we probable tested and shared every design we could get our hands on, over the years everyone of us spend more than the 200 bucks than a 360º will cost you. Everything we found and tested had one or more major flaws to the design. You can find camp chairs, and camp stools, some even with well know hunting brand names on them, but most of them are just a basic bag chair or stools, they are not “Hunting” Stools, even with camo on them, just look at the little tiny feet and the uncomfortable noisy uninsulated seat pad on them! After a short time of usage they fall apart or break! There are tons of them scattered across our hunting landscape, broken and left to rot!

            Just for the record, I’m not some big corporation, I’m one guys who has a sickness and love, called traditional bowhunting. When designing the 360º it was so I could shoot my long bow from a seated position, inside of a modern pop up ground blind or while wearing one of my favorite gillie suits. I was just so sick of stools that sunk into the soft earth, see our Big Feet. I was tired of listening to the “ping” on leg adjusters and wondering whether I just spoked a deer. I had a cheaper plastic rotating hub stool break on me in the freezing cold which cost me venison steaks on the hoof. To stay warm & comfortable, I would bring a thick foam cushion to put on top of the little tiny ball busting camp stool. I was also sick of rotating seats that did not have a backrest or if they did rotate you could not adjust the height or the ball bearings sounded like a dying rabbit.

            This project has had one main goal in mind, make the finest hunting stool in the world and help make traditional bowhunters more comfortable while hunting on the ground and hopefully more successful to boot! Most quality products cost and are worth ever penny! Look at the current cost of the top of a line Trad. bows, Gortex® hunting clothing, and boots, etc… We also did not set out to make the cheapest chair, that’s already been done over and over.

            On the “to heavy for your needs” weight issue, there is always a cost to weight to benefits & features issue when one is designing a product. For you it may be too heavy for your style of hunting, but the 360 is still lighter than the lightest treestands! If you’ve been lugging Treestand around the woods for years and you like to stay mobile, and now you’re ready to try the ground game, you’ll love the lighter weight of the 360º. If you’re willing to scarfice the benifits and features of the 360º for a basic camp stool, you can proable save yourself quiet a few bucks and about 6 lbs of weight, just don’t forget to bring your foam pad! But if you’re a hunter sick of the basic stool failing you and costing you venison steaks, maybe the extra weight and extra set up time is worth it to you? Maybe the design is a little of over kill, but the product must hold up for the life of the customer and guys up to 300 Lbs!

            Will the 360º fit every hunters needs, no. Will it fit 80% of the ground hunters out there, yes!
            Is the 360º absolutely perfect, no. Is it the finest hunting stool you can buy on the market today, absolutely!
            Are we going to sit still and not seek improvements in the future, hardly. I’m hoping in the next 5 to 10 years the product will get lighter and better, but why wait when you can be comfortable now!

            Here are a couple of sites of competitor products at the $107.00 to $169.00 price point. There are a few others out there that I saw this year at Compton’s and at the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational but I can’t find their sites right now or I’d list them. The ones I’m missing are in the $169.00 price point, twice as heavy and don’t rotate. Compare, materials, weight, spec.s and features and benefits and then select what fits your needs and budget.

            On your PRO comments, thank you, you nailed it! Hope you don’t mind me quoting you! just kidding! LOL!!!

            PROS: This chair is built like a tank and should last forever. The design appears solid and the craftsmanship was superb. The legs are easily and infinitely adjustable and it does swivel all the way around in silence.

            On that final positive note, I think we both can agree on this: Too many hunters are missing out on what I call the “Ground Game”! Go find yourself a good Gillie Suit, or leafy suit and pick a hunting stool or chair that fits your needs and style of hunting. Get on the ground, evolve out of those trees, But! get your heart stress tested before the season begins! There is nothing like being eye to eye, nose to nose with a deer, bear, or turkey! or being so close you can not draw back your bow because the broadhead would scrape the side of the deer! and that smell of deer so close…

            Another big advantage to ground hunters hit me late in the hunting season! There is nothing like slowly getting up from your stool to go stalk a deer! Last Dec. in the midst of the coldest part of the season I gave up the warmth of my modern pop up ground blind and went back to a Gillie Suit. Actually I went out and was testing ASAT’s Leafy Wheel Chair cover for wheel chair bound hunters! Wow, was it great to back out in the open! I found that the leafy wheelchair poncho covered me and the 360º all the way to the ground from the back of the chair to the tip of my boots! The leafy suit broke up my human form and worked great even in with the white backdrop. But the real fun began when a deer would not close the deal and come in range to take a fair shot. When they looked away I would slowly stand up, tuck the extra material into my belt and stalk them from a down wind and unseen position. What fun! It felt as if my ear drums where going to explode! My breath in my lungs would come in and out of my mouth like I was a panting dog due to how hard my heart pounded. Then the primal instinctive hunter would take over my body, nothing except those targeted deer exsisted in all the universe and all was all right! It was the most fun I’ve had not killing deer in a long time!

            Hopefully no offense taken on my review of your review!

            Snuffy, I just wanted you to know, I’ve said almost the exact same thing about manufactures of hunting products. In the process of designing the 360º and marketing it. I came to the conclusion that most of the manufactures have never sat hour after hour or even used their hunting chairs, if they had they would be embarrassed to sell them or put their name on them, but that is just my opinion! (Brooks and Keith @ Double Bull excluded! I know that both of these guys use, abuse and test their products.)

            I did spend countless hours discussing design features and benefits that hardcore Traditional folks, with like minds and persuasions, wanted in a hunting stool, I figured if it was good enough for my kinda, it would work for folks who hunted by other means and rules. What is a necessity for one Trad brother is just extra weight for others. I’m willing to carry the extra weight so that I’m both warm and comfortable. These two things for me have helped spell success over the years. Being both warm and comfortable equals that I don’t squirm around as much. Less moment equals greater success. If I’m warmer it normally equals greater success or a more enjoyable sit in the woods. Being warmer keeps my shoulders looser, which means I’m more accurate…

            Thanks for the honest exchange, don’t expect that I’ve changed your mind and I’ve noted your constructive feedback seriously for the future!

              Hexman — I can’t imagine that anyone would take offense at your very polite and measured explanation of your point of view and product. There’s different strokes (and seats) for different folks and to each his/her own most comfy. Thanks to everyone in this open and honest discussion. Well done! My nickel’s worth. bb

                Scott,
                Thank you for your thoughtful and well-done rebuttal to my review. I will try to answer some of the questions you had for me about the stool.
                First of all, I was very surprised that I did not feel comfortable in the chair when I sat down in it since that is the one feature everyone seems to agree upon; it’s comfortable. Maybe it was because it was brand new and the seat was a bit stiff or maybe I just didn’t have it adjusted correctly. The thing that seemed to feel the most “wrong” was the way my legs were spread apart. Like I stated earlier, I felt like I was on horseback.
                No, I did not shoot from the stool nor did I give it much of a test at all. The main reason for this was returnability. I bought the chair not directly from you (in hindsight, a bad move) and was concerned that if I did use the chair enough to really determine its fit with my hunting style and decided I didn’t want it, would I be able to return it without a big hassle? I surely didn’t want to be “stuck” with an expensive piece of equipment that I didn’t like.
                Attached is a picture of the stool I currently use. It is a TravelChair Wingshooting Ultimate Slacker that goes for about $40 delivered. It folds out quickly, has adjustable legs, and weighs very little. It is comfortable enough but I have had some issues with this stool tearing out at the grommets on the seat. The chair is also becoming harder to find. Those two issues, reliability and availability, were the reasons I turned to your product.

                I’m glad you liked my ground hunting piece and I will call you soon to discuss my thoughts on the Huntmore stool personally. I admit that I did not give your product a thorough testing and hope that my initial review did not lead folks to believe that I did.
                I look forward to speaking with you soon.

                  Darren,
                  Thanks for the reply/dialog and the picture. It’s almost too funny but the chair you currently use was the chair that for me broke the camels back. For 40 bucks it’s a great product, it’s packable and light and at the time, it was the best that my hunting buddies and I could find. As soon as I had prototypes of the 360º to hunt on, one of my hunting buddies snagged mine. But with real world use their design flaws become very apparent. The tiny feet do not support you in the sandy or loose soil in Mi. or if you’re any where near mucky soil. Setting up the stool near or around tree roots hunting down in OH became a nightmare waiting for another thin root to break and send me on my backside. For me the push pin adjustment of the legs caused too much noise and had to be done with my gloves off in the dead of winter. The lack of rotation or the noise of fabric on fabric cost me venison streaks on the hoof! As the herd of does bounded away from the bush that just made man made noise! I could hardly keep from laughing at the comical look on their face and in their eyes. This finally failed encounter convinced me that there had to be a better way. The Good Lord made me a product designer, and if I could find a better hunting stool or chair, I just make my own! At that moment, I didn’t care the cost or if I only made one or a couple for me and my hunting buddies. The first three design parameters were seared into my brain, the need for Bigger Feet, 360º rotation and a padded seat with a backrest. Over the next year all of the other parameters and features came from feedback from hunting buddies and a few select folks in the Traditional Bow Hunting community. Well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. As a product designer there is nothing greater in life than when folks agree with your design and invest their hard earned money for your product, the reverse can also be true and easier to take the older one gets. Over the years I’ve learned to try and take all positive critical feedback as a challenge to make the product better. Hopefully in ten years or so we’ll only recognize the original outline and the folding mechanics and hopefully she’ll have drop a pound or two. but as I’ve said before, right now, this best rotating hunting stool on the market no matter what the price! So why not hunt comfortable this season?

                    The stool’s inventor, Scott Hoffman, and I have been talking and I have decided to accept his offer to retest the Huntmore stool during this hunting season. Maybe I was too hasty with my judgement; maybe not. Time and experience with the product will tell. I’ll keep you posted on the results.

                      As Scott Hoffman promised, he sent me another Huntmore stool for me to try out during this archery season. This stool is not a gift; it is a demo. I get to use it all season and if I like it, I can buy it from Scott. Otherwise, I send it back to him no worse for the wear. My part of this bargain is that I have to write an honest review of his product after extensively testing it out in the field.
                      Missouri’s archery season opened on 9/15 and I was out in the woods by 9/18 sitting on my new stool. I hunted all weekend and here are my first impressions of the Huntmore after I actually used it in hunting conditions.

                      PROS: I really like the silent swivel feature. It makes it very easy to get set up for a shot. On Saturday, the 19th, I had a doe and fawn come into a food plot I was hunting next to. They meandered back and forth through the plot, feeding their faces, and I found myself constantly adjusting my position to be ready if a shot presented itself. I couldn’t do that in my other chair very easily. Unfortunately, no meat was brought home that day but the stool had nothing to do with that.
                      The other feature that I absolutely love is the easily and infinitely adjustable legs and the wide feet. I live and hunt in the Ozarks where there isn’t a flat spot any bigger than a postage stamp. Being able to set my chair up so it’s always level and comfortable is a big plus in my book.

                      CONS: I’m still not crazy about the weight but I am growing used to it. One of the things Scott needs to do is print up the tips he personally gave me on carrying this stool around and ship them along with the other chair literature. I carry a pretty good sized pack to hold my ghillie suit and Scott told me to put the seat inside my pack and strap the back and stool skeleton on the outside of the pack. I did this and I didn’t have any problems with the stool getting hung on anything while I was walking around. I’m still not fond of putting together the chair each time I want to use it either, but again, I’m getting used to it. I guess it’s no different than assembling a climbing treestand each time I want to use it. Overall, the cons are not as big a deal as I first thought they would be.

                      I’ll update this review as things come up.

                        Darren,

                        Thanks for the updates. I’ve been eyeballing these chairs since they first came out. I really like the idea of the heavy duty swivel and the large non-sink foot design.

                        They look very comfortable and since I like finding a good spot and sitting for a long while it seems that this chair, with it’s promise of a comfortable sit would be perfect for that. I could see using a chair like this for most of the hunting I do. Except rabbit hunting! 8)

                        I have a friend who is, um, stout. He has tried most of the chairs out there and he finally sprung for a 3Hunt More 360 and says it’s the best chair he has ever used. Every time I talk to him about hunting he’s ranting and raving about it. (I tried to get him to post his pleasure with the chair, but he’s not into that sort of stuff.)

                        Anyway, thanks again for keeping us posted. todd

                          This thread is a real tribute to this forum. I’m looking forward to the review.

                          I had, unknowingly, first sat on one at the local hunting shop exactly one week ago today. I had never even heard of them until then. A few hours later (I was there a long time!), a buddy of mine comes walking in. One of the few who also shoots traditional. A little ways into the conversation, he begins raving about the same chair. Telling me how great it is, etc, etc. Says it was the best investment he’s ever made. I thought he was going a tad overboard…after all, it’s just a chair, for God’s sake! THEN he tells me how much it costs! I about fell over. I have to say, he had me intrigued though. So I took a closer look. I prefer simplicity, and it looked to me like an overly complicated seat. From experience, I know you can’t get a real feel for how quiet/loud gear is while in a store, and I just couldn’t imagine it would be very quiet with all the parts. So I just gave up on the idea. Now I’m considering it again.

                            I hunted for an entire week and spent around 8 hours a day sitting on the Huntmore 360 stool. I was quite comfortable in the stool and this was mainly due to the ability to adjust the stool’s legs such that the chair was always level or tilted slightly backwards. The large feet of the stool give it a very stable platform and I just can’t emphasize enough what a godsend those adjustable legs are for the hilly terrain I hunt in. The ability to swivel around quietly is also a big plus. It makes it very easy to get into a shooting position.
                            I have noticed that the chair is making some creaking sounds now that I have used it awhile but they are minimal and usually occur when I have my weight unevenly distributed among the three legs. If one leg of the stool is extended quite a bit more than the others, the creaking will occur when I swivel the chair. Again, this noise is not really loud and I can avoid it if I shift my weight when I swivel the chair. Scott Hoffman, the creator of the stool, has sent out an email to his customers with tips on how to quiet the stool down if noise is occurring. You can replace or add Teflon washers in between the U-shackles and the nylon washers. He also suggests gluing the back two washer caps to the aluminum legs.
                            A near catastrophe with the stool, that I narrowly avoided, happened on the first evening of my weeklong hunt. I was set up in a little depression near the base of a large sycamore tree. Since I was planning on hunting there again the next evening I just left the stool in place when I went in for the night. The next evening when I was taking the stool down, I found that some rodent had chewed two of the three straps that hold the seat in place off at the clamps. Fortunately, my dad had a bunch of the same kind of nylon webbing and I was able to sew replacement straps on. Since a replacement seat costs $35 plus shipping, I thought I would share this experience to keep some other poor soul from having his stool gnawed on. I suggested to Scott to impregnate D-Con into the straps.
                            Before I forget, let me take some time to talk about the customer service people get from Scott Hoffman at Huntmore. If Scott has your email address, you will get an email from him on about a weekly basis that will tell you what the company is up to and any tips he has for you to make the use of your stool a more pleasurable experience. Scott is a very personable man and he likes to share his personal life with his customers. I’ve gotten emails about some hunts he’s been on and even a venison recipe that his wife makes. He wants you to be happy with his product and he will do everything in his power to see that you are.
                            Okay, so it’s been around a month and a half that I’ve been hunting on the 360 stool and I can say that the only drawbacks I see to the stool are its price and its weight. However, these drawbacks are relative, and by that I mean that their importance will be different for each person. Let’s look at the price first. For some folks, $200 is just too much money to spend on almost any piece of hunting equipment. They can only afford so much and the Huntmore 360 does not fit into their budget. However, for those hunters who have more disposable income, the 360 is THE stool to buy if you want something to sit on when you hunt from the ground. Why do I think that? Because not only does it do everything it claims it can do but it also will never need to be replaced. It’s like going from a self-built wooden platform to an aluminum climber. It’s not just a stool; it’s a piece of hunting equipment. You can’t really compare it to anything else out there because there’s nothing that compares to it. Remember, I didn’t care for the 360 when I first bought one but I have since seen the error of my ways. Sure, it’s heavy; but so is a climbing treestand or a popup blind. I’ve lugged all three of these around and after a while you just don’t think about it. And the stool’s advantages, namely the adjustable legs and the quiet swivel, easily overshadow the weight issue. So I say, if you are in the market for a chair to hunt out of and you can afford the 360 then you should definitely get one.

                              Darren,
                              Glad to see that you have had a chance to give the 360 stool a fair try. I love mine and have sold several to freinds of mine out of my little archery shop at my house. I have even dedicated two stools as “loaners” for people to try before they buy. My everyone loves them once they have had a chance to try them and I show them how they work.

                                I think the biggest hangup I had over my initial purchase of the 360 was the fact that I had bought an expensive item without being able to testdrive it first. And I knew that if I tested it the way I wanted to I would never be able to return it if I wasn’t satisfied. Fortunately, Scott Hoffman made me an offer I couldn’t refuse and I have been very pleased with the stool’s performance. I am even more pleased with Scott’s customer support. Hopefully, more vendors will start selling the 360 and doing the “loaner program” like you are.

                                  Just placed an order. I am going to spend a good amount of time in my living room with the huntmore, nothing like taking it to the woods but I want to be able to return it. I have problems sitting in just about any chair due to some nerve damage so I will be somewhat of an exception/difficult case. The 10 day trail period seems very fair to me, unfortunately for what the darn postage cost these days it still can be expensive. Twenty dollars for shipping one way!

                                  I will tell you that I am already impressed with the service, at least Scott, I left a PM here before I went to bed last night and had a reply waiting for me this morning.

                                    I’m getting in the Christmas spirit, so anyone that is interested in a Huntmore 360 stool I will include the shipping free in the lower 48.
                                    Just drop me a PM

                                      A little follow-up on the HuntMore. Set it up at home, decided right then and there that I was keeping it. I have used it only once so far and it is a learning experience like with a lot of new equipment, but I am very happy with it. Don’t think I have ever been as comfortable on a hunt. The big feet, adjustable legs, and large seat do a really great job. My son took one look at the HuntMore and wants one too. I will follow up with some more later.
