I personally only climb to roughly 15 feet in thick woods and no more than 20 in open areas. Anything higher than that I start to tug on my safety belt every 10 minutes just to see if it' s still there.

I usually never go below 20' and most times I' m 25-30' . Just depends on the cover and the area where I' m hunting.

Last year, in my first time ever in a climber I got to about 33' so I could see over a large thicket. It made me really nervous...especially after the wind picked up a little. After a couple hours of rocking back and forth I decided to take it down to about 20' for a little piece of mind. From that point on I' ve decided climbers are the way to go. I' ve hunted from 12-16' ladder stands my whole life...it was amazing how much more you can see.

I usually try to hunt 25' , if the thickness of the woods will allow it.

I' ve gone to 25 ft so far. I have been in a couple trees where I could have went higher but my pull rope isn' t long enough.

Depends on what the tree will allow. If at all possible I like to be between 20 and 25 ft.

I keep it low, about 15 feet. When my bow lifts off the ground I know I am at my height. I like the shot angle from there and I never get detected. I also make sure I have a good tree with good cover and I face away from the direction the deer will be coming from. And all the other things we do to go undetected. I just don' t have a need to get any higher. Plus I am a more uncomfortable the higher I go.
