I would limit myself to about 15 feet because that was all the steps I had for my hang-on stand. I just got a climber and would go to 20 feet and what a difference? Deer will scan the trees but not that high. I felt like I could stand up and move with ease without being detected. I watch for open shooting lanes, and try to set myself with in the clear shot whatever the hieght might be.
