How high do you climb??

RE: How high do you climb??
As low as 6' to as high as 22ish. Biggest buck of my life I missed from 6' high standing on a big oak branch by hitting a barbed wire 6 inches above the fence. I was standing when I took the shot so that puts me about 10-11feet from where I let my arrow fly. (He was 180" club)

16-20----Around 20+feet and I can make small movements without getting picked off. The longer the season goes, the further I climb due to the deer getting increasingly sensitive and the loss of the foliage.

0 ft. I do all my hunting on the ground, using natural cover for blinds. In the past, I tried tree stands but found them too restrictive - I like to be able to sneak to different locations if the circumstances dictate. I think I get busteda lot more on the ground because of scent, drawing my bow, and so on, but it's a lot of fun.
