Hey I just got done watching Crush with Lee and Tiffany on the Outdoor Channel. Is it just me or did some guy on there named either Nick or Nate shoot a buck out of this same exact stand? This picture and the camera angle from that show look almost exactly the same.Id agree pretty much 100%. If 25 ft is good, 35 is better usually.

One huge advantage to hunting higher you failed to mention is the big gain in visibility you achieve.
Here is a typical set up for me early season. Lets just say its up there.

wher do you guys find these 30 foot trees? ,curious, do you measure this / I am a carpenter and three storys is pretty darn high, and scary for me anyway
I have a 30 ft rope tied to my stand. Here is my last setup of last season and it paid off with my biggest doe ever. I like this pic as it shows the advantage of having a self leveling stand like the Lone Wolf.wher do you guys find these 30 foot trees? ,curious, do you measure this / I am a carpenter and three storys is pretty darn high, and scary for me anyway
Kinda what I was thinking to. It's easy to overjudge. You get around 20' and it get's pretty tough to deal with foilage. Not only the tree you are in, but the others you are no longer able to reach for trimming at that height. I measure and cut all my haul ropes to 15', gives me an idea on height.
We have the same thought process here and I agree.:way:I also carry 2 of these 30 foot hoist systems at all times

I would say that I spend most of my time between 20 and 30, but if the situation calls for it I go where it is needed. I like having that extra foilage to deal with as it provides better cover. My solution to this is simple. I hunt out of a new tree almost every time I hunt and I simply carry the pole trimmer with me most of the time. Guys look at you funny, but its highly effective. Nothing better than hunting a set the first time. It is almost always your best odds for success. So why not hunt a set for the first time.....every time.:way:
Season is nearing.:grin:
