Default How high have you been ?

In your treestand ? LOL.

I have been up to 60 ft. in my Doc's Recliner.
Did it just for the heck of it.
At first it's kind of scary but once you get used to the height, it's actually quite a rush!
I don't usually go over 30' with around 20' being the norm for me.
I figure, one might possibly survive a 20' drop.
But a 60' drop...
Come pick up the pieces, lol.
I once attended a Dan Fitzgerald seminar and he said, he used to regularly climb up to 60' in his treestand.
And without a safety belt!
I wouldn't trust too many stands beside the Recliner or Tree Lounge to go that high though.
To me, bowhunting is a little impracticle at 60' because of the angle of the shot but I see no problem with hunting with a rifle at that height if you're so inclined.
And if you want that rush, it's there, lol.
So, how high has everyone else been ?
