Question Bipods: Up or Down?

When you're stalking during your hunt. (If you have one) Do you stalk with the bipod legs folded away, or do you keep them out so if you see a target you can quickly get down?

Thanks

i normally stalk with the bipod legs up. i do lower the left leg on occaisions and hold it on standing shots as this helps steady the rifle

Always up.

No risc of snagging them on something during stalking and if you're stalking game you should be able to shoot without them anyway. If you can't, practise!
