Most of my places you have to be 30'. There are some real heavy cover areas where you can get away with being lower. We have too many deer to be any lower.

when bow huntn, around 16 ft, is really high enough,depends on terrain,wind, etc. just remember when bow huntn, the higher you get the more downward angle your arrow will fly and less or smaller target area. really no text book answer, its all up to that pertectular hunt, remember just be safe.

Hello
I also hunted for years at around 15 foot. Lately I almost always use a climber and will go as high as the tree allows or my thirty foot retrieve strap comes to its end. Sometimes of course, my height is dictated by surrounding branches, obstacles that block good shooting lanes. Usually I'd say I'm 25-30 feet up.
End result, the higher the better, its easier to stay unnoticed. The shooting angle makes the shot a little more difficult, but a little practice helps tame that problem.

I got spotted the first day outlast year at 20' on flat terrain, I was shocked. The spike came down the trail and stopped 20yds behind me starring right up at me. I moved to 30' and they walked right under my stand.

I usually hang my stands at about 20-25 ft. The deer have never seen me.

As high as I can go. Rifle season I was 4o-45 ft. Nice view!

I once put my stand just 2 feet off the gound. Tree was in a great location and surrounded by under-brush that hid me really well, but branches would not allow a climb. Really only used the stand to get off the gound and be comfortable. Had a shot at a doe that never knew I was there, but let her pass in hopes of a buck...that never came.
Most often, 15-25 feet.
