I always find it funny when I see a stand so far up a tree that even the birds can't make it that high. When you set your stand so high in a tree you are eliminating the chances of making a double lung hit. All bowhunters know when you stick a deer through both lungs they very seldom run out of sight. When you stick a stand up in the nose bleed altitude you create such a steep angle that many times you have to shoot the deer in the loin to hit one lung. Going up high may be good for rifle hunters, but I see no really benefits from a bowhunting stand point. I understand that you can sometimes avoid deer at close distances from picking up your scent but it is easier to move to a new location where your deer are coming from the upwind side. Placing your stand up high in the tree is doing nothing but creating a bad shot angle and putting you in danger if for some reason you fall out.
