30’-35’ feet is the ideal tree stand height for bow hunting!?!?!?

Thirty to thirty-five feet... ???


Not me! Not only does the thought of that scare the living crap out of me, it complicates things because it narrows the target area, even with a gun. I only go high enough to see well and get clear shooting lanes. Never believed in getting so high they can't smell me; wind and air currents are too fickle.


What fresh Hell is this?
