I am watching with interest. I went hunting in Wyoming two years in a row. First trip I "assumed" I would be able to shoot prone or someway off my ruck. Ended up taking and making a shot poorly supported - lay of land would not support any type of prone, etc.(could not have used bipod either unless I got the really long ones). I started looking for a support system. After reading multiple articles, I took a pair of walking sticks to use as supports and began practicing with them before the hunt - did not get a shot this season that I wanted to take. Issue for me is we hike in with a lot of walking so weight is an issue. I did try a PRIMUS (spelling?) hunting tripod but it did not work well for me - I could not keep it stable and would sometimes cause a leg to collapse - maybe I was using it wrong?

I took a tripod on an antelope hunt to New Mexico one time. I only used it for one day. It was too much to lug around with a laser range finder, binos and a rifle. My father used a Harris bipod with good success. If I was going again I would try the walking stick or a bipod

I use one of the Primos monopods with trigger and a buddy uses the Primos tripod. Both have held up well for a couple hunting seasons. You can use the monopod as a walking stick but I try not to put a lot of weight on it. I usually cover a few miles when squirrel hunting and carrying it with a full stock flintlock in the other hand is no problem. I really like the ability to adjust height quickly when getting on a squirrel that's moving up or down a tree. It's a lot steadier if you can lean it against a tree. My terrain is hilly, oak forest in central Virginia.

I have a PRS tripod.

They're pretty light weight and fairly compact.
I like it and would buy one again.

This was a great DIY option: 3 sticks and vacuum cleaner belt. My buddy is using a set while sighting in his rifle.

Thanks alot for valuable suggestions for the Holsters.

I bought a BOG POD mainly for hunting big pastures or prairie. It's fairly light and surprisingly stable.

It really depends on your hunting style and the ranges you intend to shoot out to.

For shooting fairly close, out to a few hundred yards, and trying to clear brush, I have often employed a simple tripod made of 3 wooden dowels and some inner tube rubber bands. It works great for predator hunting type situations.




For true precision stuff, I run a Manfrotto bipod with a Bogen head, and a HOG saddle, like this:

Yes
Hambo BOG PD is very light, stable and durable.
My favourite is CLD 3s- Camo Legged Tripod of Bog Pod.
