I stand 75% of the time and sit the rest.I'd stand longer if I could.

I always sit....and most oftenly kill sitting down...On occasion I'll stand during last light if I hear something behind me...in attempt to make a final shot in the last few minutes of the hunt....

I stand 75% of the time and would stand all of the time if I wasn't a wimp. When sitting, there are too many times that a deer comes in from the opposite side of where I am expecting, and it makes to much noise/movement to shift around as compared to when I am simpling standing and leaning against the tree.

I also feel like I make less noise/movement while standing when I need to lturn my headmore than 180 degrees looking for incoming deer, which is the case from most of my stands.

I'l sit most of the time and when my behind start to hurt too much I'll stand for a while then sit down again. I prefer sitting over standing.

I like to alternate between the two. Especailly early season when the deer dont move as much Ill sit for 30 minutes and then stand for 3 minutes, this allows me to stretch and keep the muscles more relaxed.

I sit as much as possible. Like some others have stated I set my stand so I can shoot from the seated position. I stand to get the blood flowing

I sit 95% of the time. I am much less fidgety when I'm sitting down. I do stand sometimes to stretch or when my a$$ starts to bother me. I just shift from leg to leg when I stand. Now I have back problems and just had L5 disc surgery in January 08, so I'll do what's most comfortable...probably sitting!

I probably stand 50% of the time. I usually stand up when I hear something or am just hoping something is going to come. Kinda just wishful thinking ;)

Sit most of the time, prefer to shoot sitting down, more steady that way if my knees start knocking :eek:
