I have always sat.... Also, I believe the reason is b/cI have mostly hunted out of tri-pods and homemade ground blind b/c I haven'thad a lot of opportunity to huntwhere there are big trees (mostly small scrub oaks and cedar's)... Thus I haven't hunted out of very many climber'sbut in the area's that havebig trees,I use hang on's thatallow me to swivel a minimum of 180 degrees...
