So you prefer the bog pod? You are one of the first I've seen that has preferred it over the trigger sticks that has actually used both. Is it because the failed after being left out that you switched? Or do you prefer the bog pod better and why? I have not owned the bog pod but have hunted with people who did and they were leaving them in the truck to use the trigger sticks. I am always curious to know maybe there is something I am missing.Note on the Primos Trigger stick. I picked up a tripod last winter, and for the most part left it in the back of my open pickup bed. After 7 months of rain cold and now heat, they locked up. I should have known better, however I had thought considering it was "hunting gear" it would hold up better to the elements.
As a $100 replacement I picked up a Bog Pod tripod, and have it set at a fixed height to use as a monopod for spotting, and then a comfortable height to use in the tripod position for shooting. Aside from getting used to the new yoke, its much lighter to carry in the field.
Yikes! Nice piece, but way too pricey for me. A trip to Sears and an ability to use a drill and twist a screwdriver handle... I'll take $20 worth of tools and some practice on a scrap piece of metal. Make a hole, hold the tap straight, and just pay attention as you cut a little thread in... back it out to clear chips, and repeat until you're through.
