I get what you are saying. I'm just jerking your chain.
And I do usually hunt in the woods.
I do take a rest if I can or go down into sitting if I'm not already there. I love sitting, it is almost as accurate as prone but gets you above most of the weeds. And it's usually all the stability you need for typical hunting ranges (<=200) and typical targets. I have taken standing shots at deer, but it better be a sure thing for me to do that. I respect the animal.
What I despise is dragging a deer and a bunch of other stuff out of the woods. The deer is enough!
