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?
I never used to, but I have found myself leaving one on the rifle I'm hunting with more and more these days.

For certain areas I just leave the bipod on the rifle all season. They are so nice at times.
Unhandy on a dedicated truck gun though(IMHO).
Random shooting from a multitude of positions is of course the best idea for practice.
Bipods are very useful if you drop your pack before going Indian on an open country stalk.
Or if you don't have time to drop your pack before you shoot.
4th point, it is kinda painful hooking one onto an 84 Montana though...grin
I've also had better consistency holding the forearm with a good grip.
