I was the only person I saw with an actual wooden walking stick last weekend. I attend a few driven shoots each year and I find the stag thumb rest handle excellent for hanging my Shotgun slip on and a stick is invaluable to help with flushing birds while beating. This is the only time I use a stick that often so as such, on the rare occasion I take one on a day hike I don't bother with a trekking pole as well, I just use my stick.
