I stand in a deer stand. I don't like sitting at all.
When I get up in the tree I turn the seat of my climber off to the side and put my pack and stuff on it. :)

I hold onto my bow the whole time too. However, in my old age, a bowhanger/holder is starting to look more appealing. (my poor little hands get cold) ;)

I shoot a 58" recurve , so seated shots aren't practical with my climber due to a front bar . I aspire to a Summit Open Shot or Bullet Backpacker next year .

I stand. Very seldom do I ever even sit when I hunt.

Seated most of the time if on stand. Off of one knee out of my ground blinds.

I also prefer to take the shot standing!! Although if I absolutely have to I can take a shot setting!

I like to be standing if at all possible. I try to spend at least half my time in a tree standing anyway. When I was younger I hardly ever sat. Besides that the early stands didn't have seats.[&:] I start planning getting to myfeet the minute I see a deer. They can change directions in a heart beat. You can swing a lot better and use better form if you're up. It's a lot easier to change position if you're up to begin with. I have shot several while seated, more out of necessity than desire.

I always shoot standing. You can turn without as much movement. I stand the first and last hour and sit when I need to after that. I stand up whena deer is approaching my stand.

Prefer standing if I have the time, Recommend a climber without a rail so you can shoot while sitting also.
