Bipod adds too much weight for walking hunts

[Just_Matt]

Carrying the extra weight all day really sucks. But when it’s time to take a steady shot, you wish you had it, it just feels like you can’t win either way. What do you usually choose?

Monopod that doubles as a walking stick

I don't bother lugging around a bipod on long walks on public land anymore. I practice using my pack and sticks instead. If I can't get steady without extra stuff, I probably shouldn't take the shot.

I have one full knee replacement & the other knee is not in really good shape. I needed to find a way to get around in the prairie dog fields.

When shooting in the field and the wind really picks up, I need to relocate to shoot either with the or against the wind. In my cart below, I carry a small folding chair with a backrest, two section tripod, ammo and one or two handguns & lunch.

Now this wouldn't work well in very hilly or mountainous areas but on the plains it is great. When walking across the fields, I do sound like part of a wagon train, but the prairie dogs don't care. I can also take a shot from the handle of the cart. My main support is a tripod.

Respect for adapting and staying out there, that cart keeps you in the game.
