A nice camera stand with a sand bag on top of it... I have used that set up to shoot quite a bit of game this year out of a ground blind. It is just what I like to use...

PS, I have been using that set up to shoot armadillos at 150-200 yards.

Mossback sticks are my favorite for my .460. Sticks are a must for handgun hunting but you must practice with them at the range.

I use a monopod or shooting stix, now trigger-stick.

Bog-pod, Stoney-Point tripod, and Stoney-Point Steady Stix...the 2 first mentioned are great from a fixed position (stand, ground blind, etc) and the Steady-Stix collapse nicely for pack or belt travel.
