I generally like to be somewhat higher but have done better at lower heights. I'm actually forced to go lower because of the brush and denseness that if I went higher the shooting lanes would disappear so I don't know that I've done better lower or just seen more deer lower because more often than not I have no choice. Same old thing, play the wind, try to control your scent, and most everything else is choice. Definitely would be breaking up your silhouette
