There are NO set stand height requirements. You should ALWAYS let the seasonal patterns such as leaf cover and foilage thickness as well as the tree types you're hunting in dictate you're stand set-up. Good luck and good hunting

Most people that say they are 30-35 feet up a tree do not realize how high they actually are. I've seen people say wow we must be up 60 feet when we were only on top of an oil tank that was 25 feet high.. When youre up, looking down, things look alot higher, so people tend to think they are higher than they really are..
When I first started using my climber I thought I was way up there. Then a partner had come by as we were about to leave and I was asking him how high I was. he said, "about 16-18 feet". I could have bet on being up 25 feet. I have never climbed more than 25' and don't personally see the need. The permanent stands I hunt range from 10' to 28'...most in the 15'-20' range.
