Whenever I'm in cover my confidence is good if sitting, bad if moving, thus the sit.
However, this is always in a spot I have scouted prior. Under the right conditions I would still hunt. Deer have probably been lost due to wind that could have been managed with the greater flexibility still hunting affords.
I have certainly seen animals using still hunting techniques when no weapon was involved. There is a huge upside in the ability to adapt to conditions.
I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world itself is vexing enough. -- Col. Stonehill
