Personally, I like to be somewhere around 18-22 ft. up. Move the stand up and try puttin some cover around your base. One of those cover systems, aka branches, anything to try to break your outline up. Better yet, if you can at all, move the stand, even if its only ten yds to a different tree. Reason I say this, if that big buck knows you are in that tree, that is the first thing he is gonna look at if he is in the area. The smallest adjustments can make all the difference. Good luck bud.
