RE: Tree stand height?
Some good responses, think of your surrounding terrain and the type of back drop you'll have, you don't want to be silloetted, think about how your scent will disperse, think aboutwhat height you will becomfortable hunting from and from what height you can execute a good double lung hit. If I could get away with 10 feet I'd do it as the closer to the ground you are, the better the shot angles become, BUT you have to deal with too much, like your movement to draw, your scent, even small noises. Up higher these issues tend to be more forgiving. Good rule of thumb is to hunt as low as you can get away with, with out detection. Don't hunt so darn high that you need a red airplane light on your head, the shot angles can be a recipe for disaster........ DFA
