I almost always shoot at deer from the sitting position from a tree stand.

I do stand to shoot if the shots are on my extreme right or behind my tree.

I try to position my tree stand so that shots will be on my extreme left. That way I can shoot easier from sitting.

I've never taken a shot at a deer standing up.

i actually have never shot a deer from the seated position. i always feel more prepared to react to the deer and look for shots if i am standing.

Sitting. I'm afraid I'll get too wrapped up in the animal/shot and fall out of the tree!! ....well...I'd only fall so far, but I sure would be sore and really bruised around my legs!! No thanks! [:'(]

I prefer to stand, and that is how I shot my last deer.
