RE: Heights
I dont like heights either. I have 5 ladder stands ranging from 9' to the seat, to 12' to the seat. I tink I could go higher if I had a box blind, or something around me. Someone mentioned one of those 2 man ladder stands that has some kind of blind that you can put around the top. I have thought abouit getting one of those, but wouldnt it be hard to draw your bow with a burlap enclosure around you, and not hit the rail?

RE: Heights
Reminds me of an old story. Man fell of a ten story building and at each floor someone asked, "how ya doing?" His reply was, "so far so good"
I know someone who's alergic to and therefore afraid of bee's, never knew someone whom bee's seem to follow around so much. If your afraid of falling, ya probably will.

I'm not so much afraid of heights as I am ladders and platforms. If I feel safe I don't care how high I am, but you get more than six feet up on a ladder and I am nervous.
Normal lock on tree stands and foot pegs scare the crap out of me.
I either use a ladder stand or a climber. Once I'm up and strapped in I am fine, it's getting there that stresses me out.

I'm about the same as Paul. If I'm strapped in I'm fine, but if I'm not I'm petrified. I actaully will use a lineman's belt while climbing up into my hang ons, but I have to take it off to get in and those are some anxious moments. I'm thinking of getting some of those long safety ropes for climbing, but they are $40 a piece. I used to be really bad. When I first started hunting my one buddy would make fun of me because he said he could jump up and grab onto my platform. I'm much better now, but 25 ft. is about my limit and I rarely go that high.
