I have found walking is far more productive than the high seat...It does depend if you have access to the ground, I make a plan on what fresh tracks I've found in that area, then pitch up.... If the ground holds plenty then you can be selective, where I have been shooting mine they were causing problems in an area of re growth. I have found over time if you want all the meat then high neck works out best, or if it is looking right at you then under the chin... However you get it enjoy the day....
