I use a climber but for bow season I go about 20 ft. For gun I`ll go 25-30.

Our shortest permanent stand is about 16' and the tallest is about 24' . When I use my climber I go anywhere from 25-30' .

I like to go minimum of 20' . I like 25' better but nobody makes a 25' stick ladder.

For me ideal is 18, I' ve gone as low as 14, and as high as 22.

Most of the time I' m using screw-in steps due to the adaptability of my fixed position stands and I wind up between 17 - 20 feet high. With a climber I may be significantly higher if I need to get to canopy cover.

23' seems to be were the canopy of the trees I hunt puts me. I like to be near the branches.
But I don' t like mechanicals at that height. Too much hard bone at the top of the ribcage if it' s a close shot imho.

depends on the canopy, 20 to 25 ft. mostly.gun season if I can 25' to 35' .the higher the better for me,with gun. with a bow about 18 to 20' .
