Guest deerchica Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Just curious what some of your deer stand heights are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deerchica Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Whoops, thanks for the link. I haven't been on in a couple days and didnt see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Didn't see my name on the link. I have a couple climbers that I get 25-30 feet with. I also have a hang on that I use my 16 ft. ladder with. I have it right at the top of the ladder. I prefer to be up at least 25 feet unless the tree provides me with excellent cover. My biggest problem is that deer can come from several directions and when I finish cutting shooting lanes my cover isn't that great anymore.

Eddie234 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 it depends on the tree, I try to get as high as I can. anywhere from 12 to 20 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiobuckhunter Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 i like to be around 18 to 20 feet but i have been as low as 6 to 8 feet and still was succesfull just depends on the area and the caver i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illinois59 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Minimum of 20' for me. Any lower and it's hard to not get picked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhuntnsmycrack Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 i myself like to get up about 25 feet i feel pretty safe up there. but stand heigh all depends on the terrain your hunting. you always have to be above the deers eyes. so say your hunting a bottleneck you want to be up about 30 feet because if your at 12 or 16 feet and that deer comes up that bottle neck he's at eye level with you.if your hunting flat ground anywere from 15-18 feet should be key. but when you set up a stand always have someone with you so then pretend they are the deer and have them walkj up that bottleneck and see if they see you in your stand at certain heights. so remember tree stand height only matters with the terrain your hunting.

MichiganHunter Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 as high as i can get...lol with my climbing stand 20 or 30 feet is do-able other wise 20ft or 16 or 12 for ladder stands and climbing sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 My gun hunting stands range from ground level to about 25'. Here at home it's all ridges and bottoms so in some instances I can see better and be better concealed at ground level on the side of a ridge using a strap on tree seat.
