Puffs

After a long sit in a high seat or a day out with beaters your legs get tired faster than you would like, and once you are back at the hunting lodge or trophy room you want somewhere to sit without dragging in an extra chair. A puff with a boar or deer decor takes up little space, gives you a firm place to sit and doubles as a decor piece that shows what the room is for.

Who these puffs are for

A puff in this category is indoor furniture, not field gear, meant for a hunter's home, a hunting lodge or a base cabin. It replaces an extra chair by the table, gives you a seat while cleaning a rifle or sorting gear for the next outing, and the animal decor shows at a glance whose room it is. It suits both furnishing a new lodge and gifting a hunter who already owns enough outdoor equipment.

Where a puff fits best

Trophy room

In a room with mounts or antlers on the wall a puff with a deer or boar decor fits better than a generic piece from a furniture store. It adds to the theme instead of clashing with it.

Hunting lodge or base

Space by the table in a lodge is often limited. A puff takes up less room than a chair, and you can move it to a window to watch the field or closer to the stove to warm up after coming in from the wet.

Study by the gun cabinet

When you prep gear or clean a rifle it helps to have somewhere to sit next to the cabinet. A puff suits this spot better than a large chair, since you can push it aside the moment you need more room.

How to choose a puff

Choosing between the boar and deer decor comes down to a few points:

• which decor matches the other trophies or decor pieces already in the room
• whether the puff will be used daily or mainly for guests after a hunt
• how much free space there is by the table, cabinet or stove
• whether you need furniture you can move around or a fixed decor accent

Care and field-tested advice

A puff normally stays indoors, so keep it away from damp air if the lodge is heated only now and then. If you come in wearing wet clothes after a hunt in rain or on marshy ground, lay a towel over the puff before sitting down. Clean dust off the decorated surface with a dry brush and skip rough cleaning tools, so the animal image does not fade.

Boar or deer

Both versions are equally sturdy and built for the same purpose, so the choice comes down to which animal matters more to a given hunter or which trophies already hang in the room. The boar decor suits hunters who mostly take part in driven hunts where boar is the main quarry, while the deer decor is often picked as the more universal option.

A puff as a gift for a hunter

A puff with an animal decor is often bought not for yourself but as a gift for a father, brother or friend who already owns all the outdoor gear he needs. It suits a birthday or the start of the season, and unlike ammunition or clothing it does not wear out fast, so it stays in the room for years.
