Usually 20-22 for bow, 20-30 depending on the terrain with my rifle.

I sat about 35 feet high in a tree last year to offset some terrain dips....even though I was only about 25 feet off the ground, I was 35 feet high in the tree. I will not do that again...too high.

25' and I was nervous....shot a doe though....

I like 16-18' much better!

i have a 25ft rope to pull my gear up and ive climbed with the bow and gear hanging from the rope a few times...didnt like it....but it was the only climbable tree in the area i wanted to hunt and it was WIDE open...heck, i think i was even dumb enough to adjust the top portion of my stand 1 notch tighter to level the stand because the tree thinned out...to top it off that tree was on the edge of the hill...about 200-300ft down before it was flat again...awesome view...because of the wind and location that was the only tree i had available..

usually right around 18-22ft

When I was filming we hunted the Bottoms (http://www.gallatinbottoms.com/) pretty often. Those boys love to go high, real high. The first time I filmed there, I told my hunter I was not going up, it was just too high. Well since he was a way bigger boy than myself and threated to beat me and field dress me, I went up. I hunt from 30 foot a lot and I know this was another 15 foot higher at least. I always hated going down there just because I knew how high they were going to have us.

20-25ft is good for me!!

LMAO

Yes, yes I would. It isn't something that I strive for, and I have not problems being that high, but I have and probably will go that high again for locations sake. I had a stand last year that was 30 off the ground, but was on the edge of a field and a ravine...on the down hill side it was more like 40. My buddies told me that at least I wouldn't have to worry about anyone else using that stand cause the didnt have the balls to climb into it. Go for it, just watch your angles. Remember, if he is under you, he almost has to give you a 20 yard quartering away shot, unless he beds there.

we have a stand where there is a bunch of 25-30' trees in front of it blocking the view into the field(which is where we see the most deer) but the tree we built the stand in is giant! we measured this stand to see just how tall it was and to the floor of the stand its 38. 5 feet....................................just to add, we only gun hunt out of this stand, we would never dream of bowhunting it lol

I am not affraid of heights either, but the highest I will hunt is 20 feet in my climber. I hunted a tree laster year at 7ft because and got within 10 yrds of a 3 yr old. Cover is your key not height.
