RE: how high to hun tin a tree stand?
12 feet is the absolute minimum. I usually hunt around 25 feet in a hang-on or a climber. A ladder stand I have is 15.
12 to me seems too low. I'd go higher than that. Too close to a deer's nose and line of sight at 12 in my opinion.

Depends on where you hunt beardstowndeerhunter. If you hunt private proprty without alot of pressure, you probably don't need to be much over 15 feet. If you are hunting spooky deer, I would say 18-20 feet.

I have a 25 foot bow cord for pulling my bow up. I usa climbing tree stand and try to go until I run out of rope. I hunted around 14 feet for a while but 25 is the place to be.

It depends. I have2 stands that the platforms are no more than 7' of the ground. On the other side of the property I'm 20'-30'. I missed a big 8pt and got my buck last year out of the lower stands.
