Standing vs. sitting
A friend of mine swears by sittingdown inthe stand while shooting. He practices standing and sitting about 50-50. He likes it because you don't have to worry about noise, movement, ect.. I've never done it just because it's never felt that comfortable to me.
Whoout there does what? What are some of the pros and cons that you have found with both?

Depends for me. I do a lot of ground hunting so sometimes everything has to be from the seat. In stand it depends on the tree, If I don't have a lot of cover around me for whatever reason I'll likely be sitting most of the time and plan on standing when the critter's view is blocked.

I've never killed one sitting down....but I hope to this year. I KNOW I move less when I'm sitting v. standing.....but I've never (to my knowledge) been busted trying to get to a standing position to shoot.

95% of the 50+ animals I have taken have been sitting in the stand. Ihave always felt likeit is less movement when the time comes to get the shot. I also have stands that allow for this, they are designed to be hunted this way. I have a couple of the lightweight jobbies that don't swivel (with the small seat)and I have had to stand a couple of times using them as a shot sitting was not possible.

I probably shoot from a sitting position 90% of the time and always position my stand in a way that will allow me to do so.
If needed I stand for the shot.
