How high do you climb?
 

Just wondering how high everyone puts there stands at. Is 15 ft too low?

RE: How high do you climb?
 

I put my stands at anywhere from 16-18 feet up. I wouldn't say 15 feet is to low,but how high you put a stand up in a tree can be decided by a few different things like hills, ridges, and flat areas. I would say anywhere from 15 to 18 feet is an all around ideal height for a stand.

yeah in my experience 15 feet is ok for a treestand. I usually keep it between 15 and 20 depending on the tree I am in

myself i like to go 25

Depends on the cover, 16' to 25'

Mine are 12 to 20 depending on the area.

Depends on the cover but for an open tree 15' to 20'

I have stayed low and climbed very high............all depends on where I am and what tree I am in. Wherever the best cover is.

I tie my tow rope to my front rail and go, when I feel my bow coming off the ground (20 ft) I make a judgement call if I need to go up or down a little but I try to stay in that ballpark.

The higher you get the sharper the angle your shot will be..........no pass through and one hole high in the back makes for a tougher tracking job in my experience.

It is not uncommon for deer to look up around here either.

Twenty four feet or higher depending on the tree and the area , thirty two feet was the highest I've ever been in a tree.

Last year my first stand was only about 12 feet up. Only had 1 doe spot me and that is probably because I was so busy watching her fawns eat acorns and fart around that I got careless with my moevement. I had deer walk right under my stand and never even know that I was there. My 2nd stand was about 15 feet up. Cover was so good there I could probably do jumping jacks and not get spotted.
