I'd kill to be able to get 20-25' up.Comment

Man - y'all like to get high. It's more about cover and background than height. And just flat out being still. I have killed good bucks off a 6 ft-7ft tripod tucked in a cedarComment

No right or wrong answer. Depends on cover. Personally in East Texas I like 30 plus. But that is dictated by surrounding terrain.Comment

Yes. One stand I had was 44.Originally posted by TxAg View PostFor those of you saying you get 25-30' up, do you actually measure? Not being snarky, but seems like most people think they're 30' up and it's more like 18'
I read about an older fella the other day that put his lock on about 2' off the ground. He was old and didn't want to fall, but thought his stand was comfy and wanted to continue sitting in it. He killed a few deer

If say it depends on environment. A normal tree. 12ft min.Comment

I just read an article in OL and according to the author, 16'-20' is the ideal height. Your up high enough to be out of sight and the kill zone does not change much.Comment

I got a hang on in the middle of a cedar tree no more than 6 foot off the ground and it's perfect great back drop and the cover on sides is greatComment

I wish I didn't get scared above 12 feet. Sure wish I could break my fear of heightsComment

Some of my coolest setups that I killed deer from we're only 12-15 ft max. It's all about cover.
I also have use a ladder to get to my climber locked onto a oak tree that no way you could climb. Tree lounge so comfortable I used it as lock on several times
No tall trees in del rio now
