I have an older hunting partner who can't really get down onto the ground in a low sitting position for calling. If he gets down it's a bear getting him up (200+ lbs to my 170) due to bad hips. I'm 70 myself but still pretty agile. I do the calling (usually with electronic calls and remotes). He needs to sit or stand but that puts him up and more exposed than I'd like. He will often stand by a tall thick corner fence post or power pole but any movement is readily visible. Should I get him a lawn chair? We often hunt in pretty open wheat country. I do put him up against rock outcroppings where his camo matches pretty well but I haven't brought a dog in yet with him standing. Any hints or suggestions? Ghillie suit for him? Big fake cow silhouette to shoot from? Put him on steep slopes? My other hunting buddies are even older but still able to go prone or sitting without effort. I want to keep him hunting but it's a bit maddening to be so limited. And he just bought a new Savage .223 rifle.
