12-15’ during early season to stay below the canopy for shooting lanes. 20-25’ late season when foliage has dropped.
I would prefer this too but many of our stands are shorter because the woods are thick. Get too high and you loose all visibility.I'm between 16-18 feet up,never had an issue with being seen.
If you have the wind and only concerned with visual, height isn’t as big a deal. In the evening when the thermals drop, being higher can help with scent in the case you have inconsistent wind.When you guys set tree stands do you have a set height, minimum height, maximum height, or just let the location dictate your height? I have some stands that are only 10' off the ground and others that are almost 30'. I can't say that the height makes as much difference as the available cover at the given height. Just want to hear others opinions and experiences
