RE: Tree stand height?
 

I usually hunt between 15-25 feet. I'm nota big fan of heights so I don't go too high.

i feel most guys make the mistake of thinking that 15ft all the time is good or the other extreme of 30+feet is always good. i depends on cover and terrain. even with good cover though i feel too close to the ground when im in my stands that are 15-18feet up but with the cover ive never had any problems being spotted. most of the time i go until my rope stops or a little higher if i have a hill on one side of me. so usually 25feet for me.

15 maybe 20 at the highest just dont need to be any higher

I have ladder stands that are 15 feet and I see alot of deer from them without being caught. I go 20 feet or so with my climber. Don't know why I just do.

I second....or...third the notion of "it's about the terrain." I have stands between 12 and 25 feet. The 12 foot one, I can't go any higher because it's near an apple orchard and there is nowhere else to put a stand. The one about 25 is in a yellow pine. Since they lose their needles in the fall, I went higher so I wouldn't get busted.

Usually the canopy dictates that I don't go much higher than 15 feet. Any higher and there are too many leaves and branches in the way. You can't see anything or shoot very far if you get up too high.

I measure from the angle of the dangle. :D

Who cares. A better question would be should you be in one at all. By the looks of most hunters I'd say absolutely not. No business being in one.

I use a 20' rope. Tie it to my stand and attach my gear to it. When it tugs back I'm there. So you see I was kind of telling the truth to begin with.:D
