How many of you take a bipod on your backpack hunts? I hate the awkwardness of carrying the rifle with the bipod. Love shooting with the bipod in certain situations though. What say you?
Don’t shoot too far, if you miss you’ll hit your neighbors cows!I do use a Harris bipod and it is heavy and it gets snagged on stuff it also gives me confidence I'll make any reasonable shot. I'm a long ways from a boomer and I have used a backpack at times. I like to have both options.
Wonder on over to the long range muzzle loader thread and see how far we’ve left those days behindIf you can’t shoot your animal unassisted from a standing position with a 30-30, it’s too far. ?

It's called a satchelBipods are for boomers.
Use your pack. If your pack doesn’t work you don’t have a pack you have a purse.
shaving two lbs off your belly doesn't do crap for weight on your back. Shave the two lbs off your belly and sell your worthless bipod. You're be skinnier which is always a plus and you can use the extra money to buy useful stuff.Not using a bipod because of the added weight? Can't be serious.. Just lose 2 lbs of body weight and you're in the same spot..
Eel, you backpack in with a truck window? You are a beast!The truck window sill works for me 99% of the time.
Do you roll the window down or open the door and put the rifle in the gap? It’s more sporting to open the door and risk the sound scaring the animal.The truck window sill works for me 99% of the time.
It's worth it to be comfortable with the shot.Eel, you backpack in with a truck window? You are a beast!
