Are you measuring from head high or feet high while on stand? Mine vary from 10 up to 30(from my boots down) depending on the situation....LOL all I know is that the average stand I see in the deer woods of someone elses is under 15 feet up, I know my hunting terrain is not the same as everyones but I have a feeling some of you guys are answering from how high it apeares to be when you look strait down.
