Welcome lswoody!

I' ve been hunting many moons and generally hunt around 16-18' up the tree. I do have one stand right now that is 22' , but I wouldn' t personally want to go higher because of the angle of the shot. I' ve generally found that deer look up quite a bit regardless if you are 10' or 25' . If you don' t move, doesn' t matter if you' re on the ground or 30' up. My $.02 anyway.
