I have a few heights... one is about 25 feet up, another 2 are around 20. I've been around 30-35 feet up... I used to not like to get very high, but after getting some of those wind checkers it's nice to "see" the difference in how high your scent stream can remain!

15 to 20 is plenty high for me.

around 15 to 18 feet but when it gets closer to 20 I start to realise that im rather high off the ground and I get a bit of vertigo... plus past 15 feet in my hunting spot the trees get a little skinnyer toward the top.

18ft is my personal minimum. 90% of my stands are 20-22ft.

I get busted less when I'm higher, plain and simple.

I have no set height. Whatever height conceals me the most is where i will go. If the canopy is thickest at 12ft that's where i will stop, but i have also gone as high as 30ft.

In my neck of the woods, my bow stands rarely are any lower than 17-18 feet. There are a few instances when in my climber, I find that 13-15 is better based on the surrounding trees to help cover my outline. It doesn't do me any good to be 25' up and sitting bare naked in the wide open.

I hunt an area where i usually get swamped with does i sometimes do not know which way to look i seem to never get busted at around thirty feet

I typically set my stands at 15-18 feet. sometimes higher or lower depending on the trees in the area i am going to hunt. This may stir up some debate, but I have also had luck lately with ground blinds. If I can't get in a tree higher than 12 feet, I set up the ground blind.

I go atleast 25ft, but like to get higher if i can. Also depends on what area I'm in, if its thick stuff, I like to be high so i can see better! 30ft is pretty high, makes a deer look like a dog! ok maybe not that small....
