Shooting Sticks?

I was watching one of those hunting shows on cable. This guy was hunting bear, and was set up pretty close to the bait area. When a bear showed up, he shot but missed, hitting a log that was well in front of the bear. He stated that at the "crucial time", his shooting sticks had slipped, causing the rifle to move.

He was close enough that if he'd just taken a moment to get set up for a good off-hand shot, he probably would've killed the bear.

I've always declined to use those sticks because it is just another thing to have to carry, and I want to work on my off-hand shooting, at least at close range. Any of you ever use shooting sticks for hunting?
