ALPS OutdoorZ has introduced a new full-feature hunting chair, termed the High Ridge. A folding chair, based on the same low-profile concept as the ALPS OutdoorZ Vanish and Vanish MC, the High Ridge sports added features that keep the solo turkey hunter in mind.
Integrated into the chair design is a supported fabric side table. Located for easy reach, the table accommodates two slate calls with strikers, a box call, and multiple diaphragm calls. Strategic placement of the table and call slots are intended to keep the calls organized and to minimize hunter movement.
Another feature of the High Ridge chair is a pocket attached to the left-side frame strut. This pocket is designed to hold a Thermacell appliance—a device many turkey hunters use to repel mosquitos and biting insects. Finally, the High Ridge chair incorporates two shotgun shell loops to facilitate reloading.
For more information on this chair, colored in Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage, please visit alpsoutdoorz.com. MSRP: $74.99
Forty-one percent of surveyed hunters used an AR-platform rifle at some time for hunting, according to the findings of research conducted by Responsive Management for the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation.
Having celebrated its 100th birthday in 2020, the .300 Savage remains a sound choice as a big-game cartridge—especially in the woods of the Eastern United States.
Perhaps the best thing a hunter can do to up their odds on public land is to cover a trail a buck uses to get to his bed at daylight. Look closely to find it, because you can be sure it won’t be covered in sign.
