I use two Hazel sticks held together with a strip from an innertube, then I have a length of 1/2" rope twice the length of the sticks with a 4" loop on each end.
Both loops are put over the top of the sticks when being carried.
When I get to a position where I suspect I may need to take a shot, I drop one loop off of the sticks and tread on it, bracing the sticks forward to form a tri-pod.
Once the shot is taken the rope can be used as a drag rope or a suspension rope for gralloching.
I normally carry two ropes as I may use one to hang a carcass in a tree and carry on stalking.
Hazel sticks cost nowt and when dry, banged together, sound more like two bucks clashing than the mettallic clang of those awful garden canes.
