I sit 90% of the time as well as shoot from a seated position.I will usually position my stands so I can sit and take most shots.Every once and a while I will stand but only if my legs need to be stretched orI need to to get a shot that I HAVE to stand for.

I stand 95% of the time. Only sit to take a slight break off the feet

Anything can happen at any time so always be ready

Those of you who think it's tough to stand up for several hours at time really ought to try standing for 8+ hours ata time, wearing heels and nylons. It makes the treestand thing easy.

;)

(don't actually try it.. that would be scary.)

I have flat feet so standing for long periods just is too uncomfortable. So I generally sit most of the time until “peak times” (daybreak, half an hour before sunset, when I hear what I think is a deer someplace where I can stand up without getting busted), then I stand, if I can do it without any danger (I know of) of getting busted. I sometimes shoot seated, if I have to, but it limits the shots I can take.

I sit until my back hurts. Then I stand until it starts hurting again, then I sit. etc etc

Typically I am more still when I sit.
Thats me to a T!

This is what I do as well,I'm right handed so I try to setup my stand in a position where the shot will be on my left or in front,I only stand to strech or if I have a shot that I can't take while sitting.

Don't know why but I sit all day until the last 2 hours and I stand, no reason, that's what I do. I'll intermittenly stand just to stretch, sit for the most part.

Im a sitter, for me hunting is enjoyable and it would be torture for me to stand for that long. Not out there to torture myself!:D
