I bought an aluminum monopod from sportsmansguide last year for about $30. It adjusts for any standing or sitting scenario you might have since its a walking stick too. The wood ball end screws off and you can screw on the shooting V or a camera adaptor. The crutch tip comes off revealing a metal spike for ice and it also has a removable snow basket for the bottom. I used it last year when I deer hunted and plan on using it every year from now on.
