When I use my stand to shimmy up the tree, the platform of my stand which I stand on is anywhere from 8 feet off the ground to maybe as high as 15 feet or so. MOst often during bow season with foliage still on the trees, I go no higher than 10-12 feet because that gives me the best concealment and also the best shooting angle downward. Also, there is 1-2 tree I favor where I cannot go higher than 10 feet because of branches. During shotgun season, one tree I use frequently allows me to climb up to about 15 feet or thereabout. Funny thing, when I climb the tree at 5AM I have no problem getting up to 15 feet. But when it's daylight out, my knees start knocking anywhere past 10 feet!!! haha.

My hang on stand right now is at 32 feet. If I'm in a climber I usually go around 25 feet.

I try to stay as low as I think I can get by with prolly 10-15 feet much high would sure hurt if you fell.

It all depends on the terrain and what kindof tree. I have killed deer from o feet on the ground to 20 feet. I actually hung a stand last weekend in a nasty thick pine tree about 10 to 15, its real flat and the tree has a ton of cover.I also hung one about 20ft for that there is alot of elvevation change in this area and im in a pine with not alot of branches. It all depends on the situation.

No more than 20 feet. It's too hard to double lung them if you get much higher because the angle is too steep.
