Another member asked this very same question, you may be interested in looking for it with in the deer hunting forum, a few members answered the question how high should a tree stand be?

Depending on the terrain you are hunting in the weather conditions and your own comfort zone.

I generaly take my stand to the very limmit at times more that 35ft.
this also depends on the size and strangth of the tree as well.

As I answered in the forum I listed, I have taken my stand up only 7-10 feet to have deer sniff me out, and on the next day under the same conditions, taken my stand up 20-25ft and taken the same deer, he didn't smell me.

Good luck this season.

KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!
