I hunt from 15-25ft. There are areas here I would like to hunt but the area is too thick so I pick several trees that aren't far from the trails and bedding areas that allow me to get that high. Unfortunately it does make for steep downward angle shots that I personally won't take. I'll wait for them to go further away offering a quartering away shot verses an "under the stand" shot. The height you are hunting from should be ok but you are more exposed and more likely to get busted but like the others said, it's a trade off.
