I used to stand about 55 min. of every hour on stand. I' m getting older and now I prefer to sit about half the time, sometimes more. There are still places I won' t sit for fear of being caught on my duff. There are times I always stand...like the first few minutes or hour of first and last light.

I like to stand for awhile then sit for awhile. Like davidmil, I do stand during the first and last hour of daylight.

It seems the older you get the more your sitting time increases.

I remember a long time ago when almost no climbers had seats and you stodd the whole time....killed my back. I have an ol man and can sit. I still never sit while I shoot. I' ve never been busted trying to stand up. I climb high, move slow, and move while the deer are far out.

I do a lot of practicing while sitting in a chair and i shoot 90% of my deer from a sitting position and the only time i stand is if i absolutely have too in order to make a shot.
