auquhollie Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well we finally got our free standing High seat finished and we decided to go and put it out to let the beasts get used to it for a few weeks before we use it. We are fully covered with snow up here in the north east as is most of the country just now. The wood in which we put the seat is in parts 3ft of snow so the Quad was needed to pull in the small trailer. The place we decided to put the seat is a cross road for the Deer. In the snow we could see latterly hundreds of slots. Here are a few pics of the high seat and the surroundings. Could not have done it without the trusty Honda Veiw out in front Veiw to the left Veiw to the right. And finally a couple of my wee Teckle pup "stig" All we need now is a couple of orders for seats and it will be sorted Ads Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Nice seats ads. Unless the pictures are decieving me the range looks well under 130 yds, you may have to be quick as the rides pretty narrow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auquhollie Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Orders for seats? Are you selling them,and,if so how much?...........martin. We have talked about building them for people. TBH we haven’t really worked out prices for free standers yet. The lean to (identical without legs etc) is priced at £200. The seat itself has an adjustable shoot bar/rest and the seat lifts up and can be padlocked open to prevent un-wanted use. The ladder comes in two 2m sections which gives you a seat height of 4m. The lean to can be heightened by simply adding another 2m ladder section and that would give a 6m seat height. The ladders simply slot on to the seat and all strips down to a size that would fit in the back of any estate car. If you are interested I can take more pics of the one in the work shop at the moment. ATB Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kip270 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Cracking looking high seat. And that's what you call snow....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the pictures are decieving me the range looks well under 130 yds, you may have to be quick as the rides pretty narrow.. Your right. The range that you see is about 150 yrds. We intend in brashing some branches back as the rides them selves are about 500 yards long. The deer we have seen there along with the slotts indicate that they use the rides to get from there resting grounds out to ware they feed at night. Im hoping to intersept a few next time home Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Those seats look excellent, by dam I expect it will be cold up there though. Good luck in intercepting a few deer, looking forward to reading the posts. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemasis243 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Looks a cracker, I have always wondered why they dont have a rifle rest behind the seat as well , it would give another stable shooting position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilishdave Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Looks good, wont be long before you get a result from it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hell, in those conditions, I'd be tempted to put a pair of white disposable overalls on top of the rest of your gear. Less visible and it'd give you another 15mins before your 'nads fall off with the cold Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
