My stands are usually all right at 15 feet. The woods are just too think to go higher (and thats as high as my climbing sticks go

). I did hang a stand this year that would be about 20, and the highest i ever hunted was with my cousin. He had screw steps going up about 35 feet and had 2 hang on stands on opposite sides of the trees. Pretty scary for a 16 year old at 5 in the morning to navigate

We did get to see a pack of coyotes chasing does....but thats another story
