i have two trees in one woods cleaned in a creek bed 40 and other is 35 from the ground but 20and 25 from the bank in front and behind me

I usually keep it between 15-20 feet. Any higher and the angle is bad for me and any lower and I don't feel I am high enough to stay out of sight and smell.

Usually i'm in the 10 to 15' range.

15-25 for me...depending on the tree and my surroundings.
I once used my real "comfy" climber and put it only about 3 feet off the ground so that my sweetie could sit in it while I sat on a bucket next to her and watched a grass field. We were in good cover and she enjoyed being there...as long as she was comfortable. No deer that day, but we had fun being together.

10-15ft range for me as well. We just don't raise any trees that will allow me to get any higher.

I have 16 and 17' steps that attach to my trees. I then have a couple screw in steps to aid in getting onto the stand. The thing is......I NEVER worry about how high I am. I always just look for the place I can get cover from limbs beside or below the tree I'm in.

This is my second year bowhunting.......and I've yet to be busted in a tree. I've had deer hear something and go on alert. I've had 'em look right at me and continue feeding. I've had 'em all around under me. But....I've never been busted. I've seen 26 deer in 4 sittings, this year.....and 15 have been within bow range of me.

I go as high as I have to....to get cover. No higher.

I like the 15-20 range and find it works well for me. I have been as high as 25-30 and just did not like the angles I had to shoot from.

I usually hunt from 25-30 feet up, depending on surrounding cover. Until the 2004 season, I had a terrible fear of heights, and would get busted all the time because I couldn't get high enough in the stand I was using. Finally traded for a different stand, and now I love it. The higher, the better.

I usually stay between 18' - 20' depending on the surrounding cover. I'm not too brave when it comes to heights, so I'm not up there in the clouds.

12 to 20 depends on the cover that is available
