I was curious this weekend. I used my range finder looking straight down from my stand while standing. The tree I'm in is right on the edge of a raine. Bottom of the ravine was at 12 yards. The top was at 9 yards.
Translated to feet I was between 36-27 feet up. Minus about five feet (standing, range finder looking down- I'm about 6 foot.) I'm anywhere from 31-22 feet up at the base of my stand.
My other stand was set at 8 yards up. X3-5 = about 19 feet.
