RE: treestand: how high is enough ?
This is all on my own property. I have stands all over the place. And that's a skid trail for taking out wood (saw boards and firewood). Also for riding ATV. I have had the deer walk right down that road under the ladder and never look up. Then in front of the stand I over look a small clearing I made in a cedar marsh stand. The grass grows nice and tall with the trees out of there, and the deer walk the side of the hill right in front of the stand. It is a nice set up.
