we have a stand where there is a bunch of 25-30' trees in front of it blocking the view into the field(which is where we see the most deer) but the tree we built the stand in is giant! we measured this stand to see just how tall it was and to the floor of the stand its 38. 5 feet....................................just to add, we only gun hunt out of this stand, we would never dream of bowhunting it lol
