Default Max Stand Height

For those of you whoprefer to go way up, what's the max height before the angle of the shot gets to be too much?

On level ground, an the deer underneath you it is a steep angle anyway. I try to never hunt more than about 26 feet, most of the time around 24 feet.

I have enough climbing sticks to go up to sixty four feet but I have two stands so thirty two feet each would be the max for me.

12-15 ft. The woods where I hunt are thick with cedars, any hugher and you can't see the ground!

I hunt around 25 depending on location. I do have one stand i use for gun that is right on the edge of a 20 ft cliff if you fall off north side 25 ft south 45ft that stand has the most amazing view I love to hunt it regardless of success It however makes me a bit nervous in the wind even though I'm belted in
