I was curious to see how high most of you guys climb in your treestand. It seems like my comfort zone is usually around 16-18 feet but sometimes go a little higher or maybe a little lower depending on the circumstance. Let me know.

 

[outdoorsman91]

15-25 feet. Broad range, but depends on the stand I am hunting...

 

[Cornfed]

Nearly all of my stands during the season end up set somewhere between 16ft and 25ft depending on type of tree and available screening cover. Average is probably 18ft platform height simply because I use 20ft climbing sticks on many of my set-ups these days

 

[HotShot88]

20-25 feet in my climber, I will go higher if I can, but really the truth is that unless youre using a climber when with a feature that allows you to adjust the cable as you go up, its hard to get any higher then this, simply because most trees get to narrow, or lean one way or the other at the height. Not to mention big limbs that get in the way.

[MuzzyHunter]

15 feet tops

It varies. A lot depends on the cover in the locations I hunt. My set stands are from 10 to 20 feet up. With my climber I will climb higher as cover disappears.

 

[teal325]

At least 20 but oftern go 25+. I like to get above the little eddy winds near the ground.

 

[Tyler1]

Most of our lock ons have 20' ladders but in my climber I usually go at least 25' if I can and still see.

 

[Twolf]

15-25 feet depending on the area I'm hunting. If it's really thick hardwoods I go no higher than 16 feet but if in partially or pretty open areas I can go as high as 25 feet.

 

[slinger09]

18-20 any higher and you start getting a poor shot angle.

 

[crhye250r]

15-18 on early season sets
18-25 on late season sets

All depending on the lay of the land of course.

 

[brokenblade]

About 12 to 15 feet. The higher i go the more nervous i get.

 

[Viper69]

Of course it depends on the background but I try to always get 18 to 21 feet.

 

[gmherps]

I picked 15-20, but I hunt from the ground 90% of the time. Unless I have to I will not hunt in a tree.

 

[ButchA]

22' in my favorite tree, overlooking a field of thickets and briars.

 

[Mykey]

I use loc-on stands and screw in steps. I use to go about 25' and higher but now a days i find myself about 15' and once in a blue moon 20'. It seems the older i get the lower i climb. :wink: I've had surgery on both knees and my back and it's getting tougher every year to climb. I'm thinking of trying some of the climbing sticks maybe next season or going to all ladder stands of some type and see if it makes it any easier.

 

[Bees]

poll was done about a year ago, treestand hunters hunt at 20 feet on average.

 

[Tim/OH]

25-30 ft.
