When I hang a stand, I'll hang near 20' depending on foliage and terrain. When I use my climber, again if foliage and terrain allow, I'll climb until my I feel my bow on the end of my 25' tow rope...

It depends mainly on the tree that I pick out. I usually go between
17 ft and 20 ft. Sometimes the tree I pick out will not let me go but
12ft to 15ft and thats ok for me if it has some leafy branches to help
hide me, you just have to be more careful when you move. And it also
helps wearing clothing like Scent Blocker and using a cover scent like
raccoon scent.

Depending on foliage I try to go as high as I can until my climber levels out, probably 20-25', and when using a strap on stand I generally use 9-10 screw in Cranford Ezy-Climb steps......bout 15'-20'.

Every time I see it, all I have to do is wait for Rob to post, then cut and paste his response into my reply... 
In other words, ditto. We have the exact same philosophy.

I use hang on stands and like to go 22 - 25 feet. But will go to where I need to be to get the best shot or cover the most trails. Have been from 14 - 32 feet.
