18' for my hangon.
One ladder I have is 15' and one is 20'.
The highest I ever went withmy climber was 28'.
No need to go that high in most terrain though.
Use the wind and provide some type of background cover and 10' will work fine.

Wow you guys get up there! Me usually around 15ft.

20-25 ft for me. HCH

15-20ish

Depends on the set up and the turain

Same here. About 15 to 20 ft.

Well I've been 32 ft. up once and that was I had my stand between two ridges .
I wanted to make sure that I wasn't sented or sighted by approching deer.
On the average I'll set my stands at 24 ft. , I think thats high enough.

Never more than 20' (I hate heights), and usually 15' or less. Like someone said, watch the wind (and thermals) and cover around you and you'll be fine!!!

usually 20' or untill i look down and think "oh sh1t!!!" [8D]

I've been 30 feet up and I really didn't like it.

In my climber I'll go 20' or so which I also judge by the length of my haul line.

Most of my fixed stands are between 12 and 16 feet high.

I live in west Texas, so a tall tree is hard to find. I try to get at least 15 ft for deer. Hogs, you can get by with low blinds.
