Typically I throw my release on the moment I leave the truck, if it’s an evening hunt I am probably still hunting the last 500-1000m into the stand. I do find it a bit cumbersome when switching carrying hand, digging stuff out of my bag and setting up a saddle. But maybe that’s just the way it is. I also thought handheld might be nicer for using gloves or keeping your hand in a pocket to keep warm.
Turn your release around on your hand for setting stuff up, I wear my release in a pair of mitts to keep it out of the cold/snow/wet weather and pull my mitt off to hook up and shoot. I never lose it either… always attached to my wrist.
