Hunting & Fishing Suggestions on a low profile chair and shooting sticks

Anyone have a suggestion for a small folding chair that can be packed easily for coyote hunting. We haven’t got any snow yet this winter and I’m not fond of sitting on the hard frozen ground. Something light that sits really close to the ground with a backrest would be what I’m after.

Also for a setup like this would you choose shooting sticks or a tripod with a hog saddle? What brands of shooting sticks would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Pacseat.


It sits a little higher than some of the other options, but I’ve been able to bowhunt turkey out of it. Very lightweight, and quiet while walking or sitting.
 
We've been using the Primo's Dobule Bull chair with Primos Rapid Pivot bipod sticks (used to be Stoney Point). It's not the MOST stable ever, but it does great for coyote hunting. Lightweight enough, easily carried in and out. I extend the legs on the Rapid Pivot bipod all the way and rest the butt of my rifle on the back of my chair with my right hand on the rifle rady to fire and my left hand holding the call remote controlling the sounds; if a coyote hangs up way out there I'm pretty damn steady with the rifle on my chair, if one pops up close I can get on him fast and track him moving with those sticks.

Also I carry my rifle using a biathlon type sling (Minotaur Slings), that leaves two hands free to carry the chair and sticks. I have my call in a bag around my neck/shoulder, and when I drag a coyote back to the truck I have a drag that attaches to my rifle so I am dragging with the weigh distributed evenly on both shoulders.

That's probably more info than you wanted and hard to imagine, if you have any questions I can post some pictures.
 

I use a small tripod to steady my rifle and a lightweight fill rear bag if needed.
