Why I like being 25-35 ft MINIMUM up a tree

While I hunt as high as I can, I only hunt as high as I can if conditions allow it. It depends upon my setup. There have been times where the canopy below me just wouldn't allow me to go high.

If I go much higher than 20 feet it seems like my shot windows decrease and I have to contend with branches blocking my lanes but that I can't reach to cut.
I have stands from 12 feet to 30 feet but it all depends on the stand location. I have a very sweet 15 foot stand in a hemlock patch that if it was any higher I couldn't even use it.
