From my personal expeirience 14 ft. high isnt high enough... up until earlier this year i was always goin between 15-20 ft. high and on two separate occasions, had deer lookin right at me...once in croom 4 doesand a button spike came through a BIG doe was leadin the pack, she stopped and looked strate up at me from about 60yardsaway, blew and they all took off, the second time just a couple weeks back that little 4 point did the same thing, i was watchin a doe cross about 100 yds, to the left of my stand, turned back slowly and there he was about50 ft. in front of me lookin right at me. i've now started goin between 20-25ft. up. I've been told by several people thats had luckgettin bucks to go at least 20ft.
