We have to put up and take down our treestands everytime we go hunting, so I didn't know what height would be good and less ladder sections would be nice.
The height isn't as important as the back ground and camo cover. I have killed many deer in a cedar tree, only 6' off the ground. I personally like to be lower but well concealed.
