Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Treestands: Preferred hunting height & why?

Really depends on the surrounding terrain. Some places extra height helps, some it decreases line of sight or clear shots. In most cases, I prefer higher if possible...but I'm hunting with a rifle, not bow. According to the pullup rope I use, most often, my waist is ~25' off the ground....which is where I run out of rope.
