RE: How high in tree stand?
stand usually at 15 ' but have gone higher, been up a tree in kansas 15' and was just about 8 ' above the trail (tree base in river bed) , still 6 does and 1 unfortunate 8pt went past and did not see me, 1 felt a stabbing pain , but did not see me
My Bro was in the same tree and had the exact same thing happen 2 days earlier, yup another 8 with a stabbing pain
was also "made" by an 8pt in Pa. he either heard or saw movement when i drew back on him , did not live to tell tho, was about 15' up and coming towards me .
others were on trail going left to right ,
only had the 1 deer see me
would say that most important thing is movement by the hunter not the height you are, adjust your stand to minimize movement or conceal it , if that means higher ,then up you go
