12-15 feet where I hunt. I have an abundance of good cedars to put a stand in though.

Climbin stand 20+ loc on 18-20 most of the time. I usually hang loc ons in good brushed up places an trim around a bit. Little harder to do with a climbin stand as you cant always find the ideal tree. Thats why i switched to loc ons mostly, ive kilt deer 12ft off the ground in 10in trees. so long as ive got cover i aint gottah be very high....its all about the cover.

20ft or so. As mentioned, cover is key

I don't like getting high. If I can find cover 15-18ft off the ground, that's my sweet spot.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

18-25 ft depending on tree and cover

It all depends on the background cover. And the terrain. You can be 30 ft up but still eye-level with a deer on a hill.

Cover is key ,,I find I get busted less and get away with a little movement at higher heights The shot window is smaller but worth the trade off for me.

Would someone post a picture from the ground looking up at a spot that displays good cover. I think this might be one of my largest faults... Never really thought about backdrop, really just thought that getting up in a tree in a prime spot would be enough... obviously I was wrong. Honestly, it's just a matter of looking up and seeing if behind you there will be limbs and leaves. It looks like you're in N AL so you shouldn't have a problem. If you can find good backdrop cover, look for oak trees wider than you.
