Height?

I know it gets hashed and rehashed. But I’m just getting bowhunting bug again. How high y’all like? I’m gonna try climbing 18-20.
Thought about getting some climbing sticks for lock ons. Is 15 kinda standard for them?

After 15' your sight window starts to diminish due to the angle.

I like at least 20’ but that’s just me. Can go lower just won’t be able to get away with as much movement.

My bow rope is 20 feet. I climb until my bow lifts off the ground.

I use 4 lone wolf sticks and I can easily get 18-22 feet

Somewhere between 10 and 30 feet. As high as the cover is. If there’s no cover, which is the case in a lot of places this time of year, I’ll get as high as I can to get out of normal line of sight but not give me too hard of an angle. If that makes any sense. In hilly places where I hunt, terrain and where I expect them to be makes a difference.

I normally stay about 20 to 22’. Shop around for sticks. The ones I buy come with five 4’ sections. From my experience once you go over 25’, that’s when the angle starts screwing with you.

12’ to 20’

A lot of the angle depends on how close the animal is when you shoot. The closer the more the window closes.



Yeah, but you're a danged monkey. Well you smell like one anyways!

15-25 feet is the normal rande for me

I try and pick a tree that has some cover around it if possible. Nothing stands out more than someone hanging off a slick tree about 20’

I like my hawk sticks. I did the rope modification using the lone wolf button. Loc on stands Give you more options on tree selection, but you knew that already.

Lol.. eat chit goober

I think 15-16 is the minimum. 18-22 is best.

15-20 ft summit ladder stand works fine now that you can corn them anywhere you want em to stand, on private land at least

Im looking for cover and something to break up outline. I keep plenty of sticks so height that doesn't matter but I do prefer to be between 20 and 25ft. I mostly bow hunt and change sets often. I cant stand for a deer to come in and see a new ladder stand and follow the ladder right up the tree and look right at me.

I like a tree next to a smaller tree. I'll climb, then swing around so I'm on top of the smaller one. This really breaks the outline.

Terrain and angles can always come into play, but I agree with this.

20 feet, give or take 1 or 2
