I am not a big fan of heights, so I go anywhere between 13-16' . I don' t seem have a problem with that height, I shot a nice 9pt last year in a platform stand at 16' . My gorilla stands are usually set at 14-15' .

Average for me is between 15 and 18 feet. I won' t go past 20 mainly because I don' t feel comfortable and the shot angle becomes a little tough.

20 to 30 feet for me in my climber.
Have been up to 60 feet just for the fun of it.

I like 18' as a minimum. I use a climber and have went much higher.....just depends on the situation.:D

18-22 feet if I can get them in that range on the tree that I want to hunt. I think 18 ft is just about the perfect stand height. I had a Lok on last year that was 36-38 ft but I moved it to a spot that didn' t require it to be that high (the tree was in a hollow between to ridges) I was only about 18 ft above the ridge on each side.

15-18 FT MAX

To darn thick to go much higher, and the narly pitch pines I am usually in would require way to much limbing to go any higher.

15 feet, that is plenty high for me to be off the ground. I' m not fond of heights and I' ve not had trouble being spotted at that height.
