It kills me to see all these 'turkey' loungers in the turkey threads. I hunted in one for a couple of years and before long I realized that I could no longer get up to a standing position from the lounger. Now instead of disappearing into a sitting position I have to carry a folding chair (carefully located in whatever cover there is). Folding chair has gotten heavy in my dotage. So has my shotgun.
Our GA season began a couple of weekends ago and runs to May 15th. One of my sons has already tagged out with two long-beards. All I've seen has been a few hens in 7 mornings of hunting, and I hate getting out of bed before sunrise. I may switch over to afternoon hunting out of my comfortable deer ground blind.
I'll be 77 the first of June. I need to quit all this hunting and fishing nonsense. But I can't just yet. Maybe when I get old...Geo
Geo, I'm sorry you can't use the Gobbler Lounger any longer. We have different issues, as I have so much back pain that it's the only way I can hunt without resorting to a blind. I don't like having to carry it around, but it makes it possible for me to sit long enough to have a chance to call one. I have to sort of roll out of it, but I can still make it. Gonna use it as long as I can. Hang in there!
