Hi Muliefever
At 12 feet your gonna get busted everytime , you'll have to get up alittle higher than that.
Anywhere from 16 to 20 will be ok , just make sure your stand doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
I've been hunting out of trees for a long time and I get up to 24 feet , as you gain more confidence in trees you'll be able to go a little higher.
RD, in no way am I trying to question your experience(you have tons more then me, I'm sure), but when I was young I was scared of heights and hunted 12 feet for my first few seasons, I had great cover and did my best to cover my scent, and never got busted once, as a matter of fact I harvested my first deer 12 feet of the ground
