Hunt Comfort BLOG

Hunt Comfort’s drawing board is packed full for the next few years.  This year we are celebrating our 12th Birthday with a new series of special edition cushions branded Eite.  These models feature our New Comfort-TEX fabrics - simply the very best in new fabric technology for outdoor comfort.  We put a ToughTEK bottom on the cushions for added durability.  Today we announced FatBoy Lite Elite.  This FatBoy has new accents like 1 inch convenience loops and black stealth buckles.  A great looking package that has a fabulous soft and supporting sit.  For the hunter packin light the Elite is the perfect choice.

We all get caught up in the day to day and what we put first shows our priorities.  Last week I took a day off for teaching at the Evergreen Rotary Wildlife camp.  Hunt Comfort was super busy and it felt like a bad time to be heading out.  It sure felt good that night and these pictures show the reason why.  We had a lot of fun. 

Outdoor writer Mike Lambeth along with Eddie Salter showing off Mike’s first Osceola turkey in South Florida.  Earlier in the day Mike had gun trouble and missed a big bearded turkey and then turned around and scored big with this 10 inch bearded gobbler.  We changed up guns to a 20 gauge, started scouting and glassed this gobbler in strut at least 1,000 yards away. 

I was in the bushes and can testify that Eddie called the turkey in from around 500 yards.  It amazing - kinda like Svengali the Great had cast the magic love spell on this Tom.  It was a privilege to be in the woods with Eddie Salter.  Simply put Eddie is a master and we were all lucky skunks being out hunting with him.

FatBoy cushions made the hunting easy.  It just doesn’t matter where you drop down when you have the FatBoy with you.  Hunt Comfort I Core gel is a huge advantage sitting still.  Motionless is essential in outfoxing the wild turkey.

At SHOT I was asked how long we had been around.  I paused and said that our Birthday was coming up and that we were celebrating 12 years.  They were very surprised.  We keep trying to let out the secret.  We may post a little more on our history as time goes along. 

Hunt Comfort president David Robinson has been bestowed with a new title: Butt Guru!  In an article by J. Wayne Fears, “In the End, Comfort is Everything” David is appointed with the new commission.  This article nails hunter’s complaint and the importance of being still and comfortable out in the field.  Take a look at the story here : http://www.huntcomfort.com/GuruPrint.pdf 

Comments David, “…if it sells, I am sticking with it!” 

Hunt Comfort has a tool shop in the country and homecooked meals are enjoyed.  This past week we were having fresh country fried venison tenderloins and I looked up and noticed something very odd tied with Christmas ribbon.  Larry’s daughter was messing around over the holidays in some of her late granddad’s things and found this deer leg.  As the story goes, a little over 30 years ago around Camden, Alabama this deer was shot and its feet were badly deformed.  Never seen anything quite like it, not sure I ever want to again and I don’t think I would eat that venison!

Here’s a great snow shot of outdoor writer and photographer Lon Lauber and a beautiful nothwestern whitetail.  Lon has been using Hunt Comfort seats extensively this year and has given us some super feedback.  On Hunt Comfort, Lon writes, “It’s been the smartest and most comfortable addition to my hunting gear this year!”.  Thanks Lon!
