RE: GUN STANDS - NORTHERN WI
I certainly admire those of you who have the ability to forgo a rest. I think they're infinitely valuable for hunting, though. They help when the breath and and heart rates soar because a deer came into view. I know from experience a rest helps overcome the nerves.
Canned Heat, you just gave me an idea. I've made a few ground blinds and have been wondering how to rig up a suitable rest. That picture got the wheels turning. I'd been thinking shooting sticks or a monopod, but I could easily rig up something similar.
