I'll hunt anywhere from 12-25 feet. Any higher than that and I'm uncomfortable and would have trouble focusing on the shot. Most of the areas I hunt if you get above 15' the understory is so thick you drastically reduce your shot opportunities so it's not worth it.

Over the past several years I've learned that all encompassing magazine articles don't usually apply to hunting in my environment. There are just too many regional variables to consider that contradict what they are saying.
