When bow hunting, I do my best to stay around 15 feet.

However, when gun hunting, I am prone to go 30 to 40 feet in a pine tree. I know this sounds insane, but on public land I feel like the higher the better. First and foremost, to avoid getting shot, secondly helps me view a larger area. If I can see that deer are moving in a different area then I can move. Can't see large areas from 15 ft.

These areas that allow me to get up that high are few and far between. Otherwise, I just get as high as I can.
