Stand Height
 

How high does everyone generally hang their stands? I like to be at least 17 ft up, but Im thinking about maybe 20 this year.

Minimum 20 feet. I've been as high as 30.

RE: Stand Height
 

Yup.

My honey hole stand is up 22 feet, 20 foot ladder sticks and two branches...

When I use my climber, I climb until I feel my bow come off the ground on the end of my 25' tow rope....if the landscape, terrain and foliage allow.

I only go about 15 cause the place i hunt doesnt have very big trees. If i can, ill go 20.

RE: Stand Height
 

it depends on the terrain but i like it high 20-25 usually but some places 15 because of trees or I'm on a slope

RE: Stand Height
 

Usually around 25ft, sometimes I venture to 30ft. Then I run out of rope pulling my bow up or Id probably go a little higher.

RE: Stand Height
 

Depends on the stand. This year I put up two new ladder stands.. One at 20 feet and one at 22 feet..

RE: Stand Height
 

Heights is my weakness, but I try and go 20. My one ladder stand is only 16 though.

RE: Stand Height
 

Dont like heights myself, I have 5 ladder styands, and the highest one is only about 11'. I know it would be better to be higher, but I have been hunting 4 years, and have 3 bow kills to my name, so it can be done. And I have passed on many deer that had no idea that I was there. Just make sure that you have lots of back cover.;) NO point in going any higher, if you wont be able to move when you see a deer becouse you are scared crapless.[&:]

What ever it takes, I have two good stands and enough climbing sticks to get a maximun of 32 ft. each.
So depending on the terrain , I like to be anywhere around 20 to 30 ft. up.
