I read that very article, it was quite odd, but the points were made and made well. On the other hand it wasnt too long ago, maybe a year or two there was another article contradicting this article telling how higher isnt always better and that a height of 9-12 feet will get the job done just as well as 15-20 feet.
I think I remember reading that article as well. I think it argued that as long as you had some cover and could see over any of the lower vegetation that you don't need to be higher, or something along that lines. I personally only hunt between 15-20ft depending on the tree. I don't see any need to go higher and in my neck of the woods finding a straight enough tree to do so is harder than finding the deer
