For dedicated calling, yes.

Like most, I started with a tall Harris bipod, but eventually found it too short for setups on steeper hillsides, and tough to keep up on a moving coyote.

So then I went to a Bogpod tripod, and added ethafoam wedges on both sides of the U-shaped top, and wrapped them with black tape to get a snug fit on the stock. Fairly light, easy to track moving coyotes, easy to grab & go if need be, ability to splay out the legs for shooting prone, but somewhat lacking for holding steady for longer shots.

A couple years ago I made the switch to the new tripod with the Hog Saddle. A little heavier, more money, but certainly sturdier & steadier, and not have to chase balance as with the Bogpod.
