I have, but usually try to hunt lower than that for better shot angles. I generally let the setup dictate what height I need to be at. Some setups are quite fine at 14 feet but others require more height.

15' to 20' max. I don't go 25' anymore.

I'm usually about 20 up also. I have went 30 but when the wind picks up it gets a little freaky.

Used to do the 25- 30 ft. thing, but the shot angles just suck unless you are shooting at around 30 yds. most of my stands are around 18 ft.

I usually try to get about 70...maybe 75. Depends on if my dog is sitting or standing when I leave the house though.

I have a couple spots where I am in the 25-30 feet range. But on those locations it is usually on a hill side where the trail is actually above me.

I have a few in the 25-30 range as well. They are usually on the edge of a ridge so it doesnt seem quite that high.

I like to usually get somewhere around 20

Seems a bit much, most woods i hunt dont require much more than 15'

The terrain dictates how high I will go!
