LOL!!!! Define "hunting height"!!!! I have a Summitt Viper SS climber. I'm 6'4" and 300lbs (cld stand to lose a few of those lol). There is no specific "hunting height". I am now comfortable up to about 18-20 feet in the air. But you don't need to be that high to harvest deer or any other big game animal. It's all about knowing your big games patterns and habits, having good concealment, but IMO the most important thing in the world is Scent Control and playing the wind correctly. I've shot deer on the ground without a blind, 10 feet up in my climber, and up to my current comfort level. Being high helps but can also hinder you with incorrect yardage readings and uncomfortablness up there when a shot takes place. Anyways, just some of my thoughts.
