Where I hunt, hunting out of a tri-pod is really a good option and I have been hunting out of them so long that I really have learned to hunt sitting. I can't remember taking a deer out of an elevated position whenI wasn't sitting. I also started about 7 years ago hunting hang-on stands that were like a tri-pod in the fact that they swivel all the way around and give me 360 shooting while remaining seated....I am more comfortable in this situation and I believe it requires less movement!!!

I practice shooting sitting every year and have taken a good number of deer sitting. I do stand during prime time just so I have the greatest range to shoot, but I have no problems taking a seated shot.

While on stand I rarely sit, I'm standing most of the time. I prefer to shoot while standing! I practice standing, sitting, elevated, from the ground sitting, kneeling. I practice all possible ways a shot me present itself!

I always shoot sitting down.
Of course I only hunt from ground blinds and tripods. [8D]
But when I used to hunt from tree stands I preferred to shoot while sitting down.

Knock on wood.....I always shoot while standing (have to ......to shoot over the rail of my climber).......and I've never been busted trying to get to my feet.
That being said.....
I did have one sneak in on me and came up so fast I couldn't stand up. I got my revenge .....2 yrs later.

I've done it several times. Sometimes you just get stuck because the deer gets on you so fast, you cannot possibly stand.
