@GWH you are not wrong about using shooting sticks. I always carry a set when I'm out at night, and they get used a lot.
I have the ones that collapse into 3 parts, and can be stored in the side of a day pack. As such they are only suitable for sitting or kneeling shots. Probably not as fashionable as a tripod these days, but definitely do the trick in the long grass.
