sek_trophyhunter-------we hunt the same woods, and IMO the answer is just hunt the deer! s.e.k.'s diverse lanscape makes it impossible to determine a "hard and fast" rule for stand height.
when i hunt the river bottoms (mature decidious trees), my stands are 20-25 feet from the ground. i rarely go heigher than that b/c of bad experiences w/ poor shot angles....
i have stands that are only 10-12 feet off the ground in osage orange (hedge) trees in an abandoned cattle pasture..i would prefer to be higher to reduce detection, but prefer the "medium high" stands for clean double lungers ....this year, i'm going to try to hunt a new spot (tall native grass that's full of cedar trees, but no good "stand" trees) from the ground using a ghillie suit...time will tell if my "ghillie suit scheme" works, but the the river and hedge stands have resulted in a couple nice bucks over the last few years.
again, hunt the deer...if that bruiser is passing 50 yds from your stand, then i would find a tree 20-30yds downwind of his trail and ambush 'em there from whatever height possible for that given tree......

there's a lot of monster bucks in our neck of the woods, good luck and happy hunting!!
