Most wildlife photographers use a telescopic monopod (also called a unipod), these are usually black, but pricey, check out some camera stores.

I wouldn't stress too much Jerry as usually if you need to have a tripod to hold your camera steady you're far enough away from the game to not have to worry that much about camo.

If you are close enough, generally you'll have to do the setting up of your camera behind some cover anyways to hide your m'ment.

Unless you get one that is really bling shiny I've found it's not too much of a give away. Find one that has a matt finish, this will help.

Another solution might be to take to it with some sandpaper or steel wool to take the shine off.

Hope that helps a bit mate.

Buy the unipod, it can double as a walking stick, they usually have a detachable plate that you fit to your camera body that quickly clicks onto the unipod. The are also telescopic. :D
