Bipod for Horseback elk hunt?

[Indian Summer]

I hear ya, nothing to do with the horseback part. Has all to do with the type of terrain and vegetation that most horseback elk hunts are done in. Obviously a generalization, but holds pretty true that those hunts are done in areas with uneven shooting platforms, lots of angles and some level of vegetation.

And hunts done on foot are on flatter ground. Yeah… no. I’ve never hunted elk that weren’t standing on or surrounded by big hills. Any tripod bipod or shooting sticks should be long enough to set up on the downhill side. This will always be the case if you’re shooting from one ridge across a canyon to another ridge, which is very common.

We use our tripods back home for turkeys and also on crossbows for deer. That means we are sitting in a small chair in the ground is lower just like when I’m facing downhill for elk.

When my Bog Pod is fully collapsed, it comes to the very top of my day pack. I can throw my day pack on the ground and attach my gun to the tripod in 2 seconds while it is still inside the day pack. Pretty handy when a shooting opportunity is going to be short, which is also very common.

A few things to think about.
