Default How many of you all refuse to sit while hunting?

Hey all,
Just wondering whether you sit or stand while hunting, and if you have any concrete reasoning behind it.

I personally sit because I am wayyyyyyy to finicky to just stand there leaning against a tree without being seen. Sometimes during the peak sunsetting peroid I'll stand for 30 minutes or so, but even then, especially in the cold I start to move a lot.

Sometimes I sit.

Sometimes I stand.

I tried to kneel once.. just once.

I stand 99% of the time on stand. When it hurts bad enough I sit briefly. I just want to be up and ready if the buck of a lifetime comes in from an odd angle.

I wish I could stand, more.....I just can't or don't.

I've thought this through, though....and realize I move WAY less when I sit. Standing....I'm constantly shifting weight from one leg to the other. I've not had an instance where I saw a deer I wanted to take.....but was relegated to sit still or be busted.

I know......it'll happen....but 'til then....I'm all about my comfort.....and I feel that may keep me on stand, longer.

Kudos to you standers.

I sit until my back hurts. Then I stand until it starts hurting again, then I sit. etc etc

Typically I am more still when I sit.

I sit 95% of the time. I usually only stand up to stretch. I'll sometimes stand to takecertain shots as well. Like someone said, when sitting I'm able to go without moving much at all.

It's hard to sleep while standing, I just need a battery pack for my c-pap machine so I can stopsnoring on stand.
