Waste high and use the test laser (if camera has one) and put it right on my pants pocket at about 15-20ft of my feeder or trail.

Usually waist high, but when I have a trophy rock out I try to put it about 7 to 8 feet high facing down.

Since I sometimes put mine going down hills and sometimes up hill it can range from 8" to 4ft up.

I set up mine on the tree around waste high and about 10ft. or so from my corn pile. I turn on the laser and make sure it is 6-8 inches above my kneeand directly over the cornmost deer are centered pretty good in the picture.
