Default Sitting For Success???

I hunt down here in the mesquite woods of texas lol and i have a summit x-pod i think it is 11 foot. anyway it is secured with ratchet straps it came with but when i stand up it wobbles a little. I can shoot sitting down but i was wondering if yall think i should try and crouch up to reduce wobble when a deer is there and take a chance on spooking it or do you think i should focus on sitting all the time or when it gets stick, and then stand up when i know i can? I have ziptied about a bazillion branches onto it and a few to cover my legs but i didnt want to cover my sight window you know?

Sorry for the long winded post
All comments are appreciated

Thanks
Colten

I practice regularly from a sitting position as well as standing. If you are worried about getting busted stay seated to limit your movement. Just practice before you get out there.

I stood up my first year and spooked two deer. I have shot while sitting since then and so far have 100% kill rate. I find that it makes me more stable especially on windy days.
