I have 16 and 17' steps that attach to my trees. I then have a couple screw in steps to aid in getting onto the stand. The thing is......I NEVER worry about how high I am. I always just look for the place I can get cover from limbs beside or below the tree I'm in.

This is my second year bowhunting.......and I've yet to be busted in a tree. I've had deer hear something and go on alert. I've had 'em look right at me and continue feeding. I've had 'em all around under me. But....I've never been busted. I've seen 26 deer in 4 sittings, this year.....and 15 have been within bow range of me.

I go as high as I have to....to get cover. No higher.
