Deer Blind Chairs, I bet somebody has a recliner

I have two box blinds, one has a decent chair, it even reclines a little bit. My other box blind has a crappy chair with a short back that won't lean back one bit. Can't even take a nap before daylight.

Was thinking I need to come up with a better chair. I had some old office chairs in storage but threw them away. I guess I can try goodwill or something cheap on Amazon.

Got to thinking, I bet some of you guys are hooked up in the deer stand, bet someone has a recliner that even swivels LOL. I sure as heck don't but somedays I wish I did!!!!

Ok guys, tell off what kind of chair ya got.

I have one highback officer chair in each of my blinds and one regular office chair in each of my bowblinds.

The new place came with lots of crappy blinds (unpainted OSB about the size of a phone booth), but several had decent office chairs in them. I've rescued enough that I didn't have to buy/find a single one. In the double-wide Blynd blind I have two of their small plastic chairs; zero maintenance except for the occasional spider, and they'll keep you awake. Now in the large tank blind, I may or may not have one of those foam pool floats, just in case a power nap is required.

I am approaching that period when it will be all about getting the grandchildren up high enough to see and shoot. I might even try to set up the bogpod with the rifle rest; you know, the kind that's used when you see the picture of the 6 year old that's shot a 200" buck at 200 yards.

I bought a couple of these with my Amex points - pretty nice and heavy duty...https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Gear-Comfort-Armrests-Capacity/dp/B071FRDBY3/ref=sr_1_11?crid=25W7MQMKWD3QZ&dchild=1&keywords=hunting+chairs+for+blinds&qid=1600866373&sprefix=hunting+chair%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-11

Both of my deer blinds have high back swivel office chairs with arm rests. Both do recline back some to get a good nap during those "slow days."

I have steady supply of used office chairs coming from my office.

A few years ago I bought the top of the line Cabela's brand blind chair. It swivels, has adjustable feet for height adjustment, cushioned and armrests. I just looked, and they still have them for $120

I have a white leather love seat in my popup blind. It's hard to hunt when you're that comfortable.

- love the 'blaze orange'! safety first

My chair squeaked last year when i leaned forward to shoot a spike. White tails came up and deer took off in every direction, all I could do was laugh I fixed my chair BTW...

+1

I have not used in the blind but have in other hobby where we sit around.
These chairs have a spring thing that allows you to lean back.

At least its Camo!!!

Too many places for the creepy crawlies to hide and get me.

I tried an office type chair, but it wasn't very good for getting into a shooting position. I went to Walmart and sat on every folding chair they had and one of them was super comfortable. It has a pad on the bottom and back that adds to the comfort. It has plenty of room for positioning yourself for a shot out of the blind, and when not being used, they fold up easily. I bought one for my wife too, and she really likes it.

I’ve got a high back gaming chair in each, an office chair in one, and a folding chair in the other.

Good office chairs in mine. Go to office outlet store in Bossier City for deer stand chair sale. $5-10.

I hunt blind with guys that are over 6'2" and I'm about 5'10" so I always run into height problems. I just bought a few of the All Seasons Feeder barstool type chairs and they get the job done without taking a bunch of space.

I use old school bus seats in my blinds.

The best chair I ever had I picked up at a junk yard from an old van. It was the captains chairs from the middle seats. They were super cushiony and the back reclined. I fabricated a wood base for both, and later installed a swivel base on it. Many friends I hunted with hunted out of my blind just because of the chairs. Now I use regular fold up chairs, which will be upgraded to a nicer office chair soon.

The used office supply places in Houston used to have good used office chairs. The ones I can find now look like a bear chewed them up and they are a rediculous price and in good shape even more. I'm sure if I look around I can find a place thats reasonable.

I may try goodwill too.

Unfortunately, I think the used office chair market will be glutted fairly soon.

ha, I hadn't thought of all the people that are now working from home buying up used office chairs ...

We have a place here in Georgetown that has decent used office furniture (or did last year) with various pricing $5-20 on 5 leg, swivel, adjustable height/back in various fabrics. I've bought probably 8-10 from them over the past couple of years. I just go set in them and play with the adjustments to see if I can get it to different heights, lean back, etc. and making sure they don't squeak before buying.

These are comfortable to sit upright in all day, and can be adjusted to anything you want. We have been known to take a nap occasionally too!

There is a state surplus store in Austin (corner of 183 and Bolm Rd north of the airport) that sells a lot of used government office furniture. I have picked up a couple there for $5 - $10. Also, check the "Free" section of Craigslist now and then. I picked up a real nice office chair that way last year.

I really just spit my coffee out when I saw this. WOW

The guy in the hot tub is nobody from THF. Reason I say that.....................his beer is out of reach!!

I thought maybe because he didin't have blaze orange arm floaties.

I've worn out a few office chairs and I save them for our deer blinds. The arm rests are a little worn, but other than that they work just fine!

We use retired office chairs. They're comfy, adjustable for height, and they swivel.

I use these. Oil filled. Quite. Swivel. Pump up or down. Foot rest. Got them from my local beauty shop used. $35.

I meant to get out Saturday and hit the good will store to not far from me but lat forgot. Maybe during lunch tomorrow I can slip out a and try to find one a better chair.

Bucces sells a blind chair we have one in each blind and they are nice.

If in DFW area I would go to St Vincent de Paul thrift stores.

They used to be a bargain and have like new stuff, including office chairs.

was on a place once that had a hog stand that had a front wall that was a sliding glass door with a porch with a big recliner, microwave and coffee maker.

Recliner? Hell, in my east texas blind I usually push the reclining chair out of the way and hunt sitting up in bed watching tv.

I love this rig!

I second that for best blind chair I ever had. Years ago on a Maryneal TX lease my blind chair was also a van captains seat. It was mounted on a welded steel swivel base with a foot rest.

Sniper John, that's ridiculous. And I'm jealous.

bet it looked like this

Sniper John for the win

Finding an old office chair that won't squeak has always been a challenge for me. I finally broke down and purchased a couple of the Game Winner chairs at Academy and they've worked well, even though I have to spray the joints with a little lithium grease before the season. IMO, the ability to adjust the legs so the chair sits level is what gives them a bit of an edge when used in a ground blind. I noticed during last season that Walmart had started selling a hunting blind chair with the same basic design but under a different label.

The stories of heartbreaks and love that chair has is probably amazing.....

I bet that’s loud shooting if the muzzle isn’t out the window.

LOL, that was my first thought!

A couple were even mine.

I lost a chair just like that in a divorce!!

always have used office chairs in all of my blinds....sometimes they are the high-back conference room chairs...just depends on what my company is discarding that year. I will say the high-backs are dangerous as they tend to induce sleep. I've woke up snoring in my blind many times due to those things.

I would love to get this forum gong again. I saw a great YouTube Video on using a Gaming Chair like people do for X-box. I would be curious get people's thoughts!

I just use a couple of Deluxe Boat Seats, pedestal mounted.

Regular ol office chairs work just fine for us.
