It's kinda funny, we see so many different kinds of chairs down here. Everybody likes "theirs" for one reason or another. It's kinda like the great debate on the perfect caliber. This is what has worked for us. We have one man standing, shining the light & calling, one man shooting from the chair, & a guy on the ground with a scattergun. We've only killed one coyote with a shotgun in years of hunting though, we usually kill em way before they're shotgun close
