It all really depends on the budget. There is alot of value in the higher end carbon fiber setups in weight and stability, with downside being cost of course. I've used trigger sticks and bogs and all over the years, but nothing beats a quality freestanding tripod for night hunting.
We have been selling Feisol forever and they're good tripods, but recently we picked up 2Vet's and the QDT V2 is probably the most stable tripod I've ever shot off of. I personally use an RRS with an Anvil and the QDT is slightly more sturdy. I like the integrated spikes with the thread on rubber feet too. We're not a dealer for RRS, but we did get set up with them a couple years ago and decided against it. They don't really promote their dealers well and the margins are very low. They mainly want customers to buy direct which is both good and bad.
We also picked up a Fatboy elevate with the inverted legs (at retail, we chose not to be a dealer) to compare, and it's also a solid tripod but not as stable as the 2Vets and is more expensive. The carbon pattern on the 2Vets is similar to the RRS and the Fatboy is similar to the other cheaper foreign tripods.
I love the RRS Anvil for a head, but the 2 Vets ballhead is pretty solid and you can get an area 419 option which has indexing pins the prevent front to back movement. You do have to have an area 419 arca rail to use that function though. They can be removed for regular arca rails.
Anyway, here's a link to some of that stuff. We generally have most of it in stock. https://www.nightvisionoutfitters.com/search?type=product&q=2VETS
