If you've never been scope bitten, you're either shooting VERY heavy rifles, or not hunting much... both my cases of "magnum eyebrow" came in the field in hunting positions.
Not everybody hunts like you. I shoot most of my critters offhand, once in awhile from a kneeling or sitting position and have never shot anything from prone rested over a pack. Rarely do I take a shot from a prone position even when varmint hunting {woodchucks here} shooting most from a sitting position with bipod. I do shoot up alot at tree squirrels but that's mostly with a .22 rimfire.
