Default Bipod or shooting sticks for coyote hunting?

Well, I' ve finally got a decent rifle for coyote (Ruger M77VT MkII, 22-250), but I was wondering what your preferred method of shooting support is while actually in the field. I' d be doing the shooting from the sitting because my knees can' t handle a tight kneeling position anymore. I was thinking about getting either a Harris bipod with the tall legs or a pair of shooting sticks (the kind with the two aluminum poles hinged toward the top). Seems that both have their plusses and minusses, like the bipod being more stable but the sticks being a little quicker and easier to use. The sticks are also more portable and don' t add to the weight and bulk of the rifle, but the bipod, being attached to the rifle, is right there when needed and not kept separately on one' s person.

Since I have no experience calling coyote in the field I don' t really know from experience which method is better in practice, making your suggestions helpful.

Thanks,

Mike
