Default RE: Treestand height

It will depend on the terrain, tree, and available
cover. Rarely will I get above 20 feet because
of the shot angle. Usually I hunt from heights
of 18-20 feet, though some stand sites allow the
stand to be hung at 14-15' . Last year I took my
buck from a small oak tree with the stand no
more than 13-14' . My tree had leaves everywhere
and the ground below me where the deer traveled
fell away sharply.

Where exactly do you aim, when shooting from a
stand at 50-60 feet? 100+[]
