SuperMn106 Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have a question for all of you guys who hunt from the ground in "pop ups". I have the Ameristep Stackhouse that I like to bowhunt out of. When I am hunting out of it I either have my in my lap or I have to unnock the arrow and lean my bow up in the corner. Is this what everyone else does or do you do something different? Also what kind of chair do you use to sit in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I never put my bow down. I always put my fanny pack on the ground, beside my left foot, and rest my cam on there for elevation, and just sit there, with my arrow cocked and ready. Things can happen fast here. I use one of them 3 legged stools to sit on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I just got this one, it has plenty of room for me to have a arrow nocked and ready to go. For the chair I also got this, the one on the right. I have a three legged chair. But, I hate when the legs dig into the ground, AND YOU FALL OVER!!!

buckee Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have a three legged chair. But, I hate when the legs dig into the ground, AND YOU FALL OVER!!! I have little squares of plywood that I lay down so that doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I have one of those bowholders Luke posted. They work pretty good. As far as chair, I use my dove bucket that has a swivel top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMn106 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thanks for all of the replys. I am gonna have to get me one of them bow holders. The chair I use is too big. Last year I used a lounge chair with the arms on them, kinda like the ones that you would use at little league baseball games. Also, Do you guys leave all of your windows down? or just the sides and the front? I am a little worried about too much light getting in and the deer making out my shadow. For some reason if I can not see behind me I freak out, and start thinking I hear a deer behind me. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 my brickhouse has bow hangers Oops! Forgot to mention I have these bow hangers too from Ameristep as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I use the Escape Deluxe from Ground Max. I really like the size for bowhunting. It has a bow hanger, but it's a little noisy when removing the bow, so I don't use it. I keep an arrow knocked and have a home made holder that sits on the ground next to me. For a seat, I use a mechanic's stool. It swivels silently, adjusts up and down, and is very well padded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaHunter Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I had a holder made. It looks like one of the s-shaped bow holders that clamp onto your stand but instead of the clamp it has a stake to drive into the ground.

Sask-Hunter Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 used a nice blind last year dont know the name but took two nice bucks with a rifle, thinking about buying another this year;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guideman Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 As an Outfitter/Guide, I have tried many a blind. I am now using the Double Bull Matrix. It's sooooo massive. I have had 2 clients and myself in this blind, with chairs, guns, backpacks and food.....comfortably. You wouldn't regret this purchase.

Brad6639 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have a ground max eclipse that I bought this spring for turkey hutning with a bow. I always sat on a 3 leg double bull stool, I like it because its light and has a clip to keep it locked closed when carrying it. I also use one of the stake bowholders and I keep my bow nocked and ready at all times. It worked for turkeys, I cant wait to try it on deer in a few weeks.

M00N Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Also, Do you guys leave all of your windows down? or just the sides and the front? I am a little worried about too much light getting in and the deer making out my shadow. For some reason if I can not see behind me I freak out, and start thinking I hear a deer behind me. lol We open one window on each side that is possible to see out of, which normally means the back windows are shut because we try to put the blind against thick brush to blend it in better. We open the windows in such a way so that the window opposite of the one open is shut. We have the shoot through archery mesh in all the windows and the ones we know for a fact we won't shoot out of we only open half way just enough to see out of them.
