how high
 

how high do you guys put your tree stands? What are the advantages too it and disadvantages.

RE: how high
 

You skipped probably the best positions,20'-25'



Too low and you get spotted. Too high and shot angle sucks.

20-25 is a good compromise.

Higher also helps with scent.

RE: how high
 

again it depends on the terrian!!

RE: how high
 

Bingo!! My thoughts exactly!! 20-25 is my range normally

RE: how high
 

I'm usually about 18'.

RE: how high
 

20-25. any higher is dangerous and makes hunting harder IMO

RE: how high
 

I agree with both that replyed earlyer , although I picked 25 to 30 I rather be between 20 to 25 but like twildasin said it all depends on the terrian.
I have been up as high as 32 feet but that was year ago and the only good tree to put a stand in was in a deep ravine with ridge's on both sides.
Even at that height I was only twenty feet above the ridge and it was just high enough to be above any wind currents.

RE: how high
 

I agree with the above, 20-25 would be my pick as well. My lock on set in my honey hole is set at 23' and when I use my climber I usually climb until I feel my bow come off the ground on my 25' rope...depending on terrain and foliage.

RE: how high
 

I am alway at least 20 feet, most of the time 25. I have a setup where i am a bit over 30 but its a terrain deal.

RE: how high
 

I'm usually 15'-25'. I don't like heights so any higher than thatand I start to get freaked out. I'd like to know who is hunting at 40'+. Can you even see deer at that height.:D

RE: how high
 

Most of my trees are 20-25feet. But I have a couple spots in particular that are at the base of some steep terrain so I climb to 30-35 and that puts me about eye level with the deer traveling on this steep path.

RE: how high
 

ditto!!

RE: how high
 

I have went way over 40 feet before , but I was like in a bottom between 2 ridges. Plus I was gun hunting, but It would have probably been 20 feet above the ridge tops. Usually I hunt between 20 and 25

RE: how high
 

Exactly

RE: how high
 

15ft-20ft for me.

RE: how high
 

40 ft...hahahaha.....must be some macho men!

RE: how high
 

it depends on the cover around me ..heavy cover .lower

no cover .......... higher

RE: how high
 

I usually hit a branch or fork in the tree before I can get much higher than 20 feet.
