How high to put a treestand?

I'm comfortable at any height, i just need to know what is a prime height to be at to make the best of my Hunt's? thank you Drew

Depends alot on the terrain, type of tree, cover, LOTS of variables. GO as high as you are comfortable for starters, if you get high and are not real comfortable, you will not be able to make a shot when it counts. 16-20' is plenty in most situations though, just kind of as a guideline. I've gone as high as 30' before when it is necessary in late season, but that is not very often the case.
