I don't pull bow back unless they have their head down eating. They look up when you pull back, you have a couple seconds to shoot. We always hunt out of a tripod or a ground blind. I don't understand the comment about hunting out of a tripod or getting another sport??
For a foolproof track record, we NEVER shot if they looked up... held off and let down once they looked away. Shooting while they are looking could lead to wild chases.
IIRC the meaning was using a tripod to set the "bow" on.... IE a joke.
