Never have. Always on my hind end.
I did call one in for a good friend one time who was in a short sleeved shirt and blue jeans that was standing behind a tree and killed one.

I kill them regularly standing, I hunt a really hilly property and the birds there are plentiful but they love skirting around you just out of sight, out of sight if your sitting down that is!  My friend used to hunt the place and complain about all the birds giving him the slip there, he would always say man there right there they just never show them selves, I said can you stand and see em?  He says probably, I say well problem solved then.

First 2 birds I shot there I was standing against the same tree a week or so apart, would not have shot wither had I been sitting! I like to stand behind a large oak and lean the gun against the side, first one was lees then 10 steps and I still scalped him, I could only see his eye to the top of his head. Last season I was working a hot bird and like a dummy I sat down and set up, he came in hammering and all I saw was his head pop up a couple times as he went by, next morning in a different spot I killed one standing behind a large oak!

I've joked around about hunting from duck blinds where birds gather out in the center of huge plowed fields.

Yes a few. If it's thick cover or terrain dictates a better view point standing than sitting that's the way I'll go. I'd prefer to sit though because it keeps me more still and I'm more likely to stay put for a while.
