Rifle mounted Bipod or Carry a Tripod?

Agree with this completely!

These days I carry a javelin most of the time on my bino harness. If I end up taking a shot prone more often than not I just use my pack with my support hand or bino harness as the rear bag. I’ve probably only shot 6 or 7 game animals off a bipod, which is small percentage of the animals I’ve shot from prone. I do like having the option to use it and it’s a solid rifle kickstand during glassing sessions most of the time.

Both, all my range time is usually shooting off a bipod and from time to time of a tripod just to practice different positions. If I can choose ideal conditions it’s bipod, shooting prone with some kind or rear support. Also always carry a tripod for glassing so it’s good to have options

I just hate setting my rifle down without a bipod on. Walking a ridge and glassing every 25-50 yards to get new angles on a hillside is just easier to set the gun down with a bipod. The few hunts I’ve tried without one it felt strange. Especially in burns or very rocky terrain. Worth the weight penalty in my mind to bring it. I also carry a tripod, and practice shooting with it often. That being said, the last deer I shot I took the bipod off and shot off my pack.

I use a tripod. I already have it for binos and spotting scope, so I might as well use it for my rifle as well. Why carry anything extra.
