Flave, Greg - I've played with bipods, but never while hunting big game. You guys leave them in your packs, or attached to your rifles while hunting
Jason,
Depends on where or what I'm doing but if I have a heavy hike in, I'll just put the bipod in my pack loose or tie to outside. If it's light outside I'll have it attached to my rifle.
Once I get to where I will glass for extended periods I will attach to the rifle and set up next to where I am glassing.
On a stalk it is already attached so it saves me time. A swiveling bipod has helped me out countless times in the field and I'll have a hard time not being in the field without one even with the added weight. It aids immensely where there is ground cover and proning out is not possible but sitting is. I use my pack as my elbow rest in these situations.
