Tree Stand Height?

[M.E.B.]

I have learned over the past few years to really like hunting off the ground (in ground blinds, pit blinds, tent blinds, or just setting up in the brush somewhere). I actually prefer that, now, to hunting out of a tree stand because of the shot angle. I still hunt out of tree stands when the situation dictates, though. The big 8 point I shot in October was out of a treestand that was probably 25 feet or so high. The shot angle is tough up there, though, especially when the animal is fairly close in.

25' When I hunted down in Tilden for those 4 years we were luckey to be able to get 6'-8' up in a tree. Bar stools would have been about the right height. 25' would have been great as nothing down there kept its leaves through winter.

I like from ground level to about 10' although I have had stands 15' or so before.

My tallest Hill Country stand is 17 feet. My East Texas stands are 25, 33, and 42 feet. The high one is in really open Pin Oaks so there is little to no cover...
