Question
How high do you typically hang your deer stands and what factors do you take in consideration in determining the height?
Craig,
Most of my stands are 20′ + – high. If stands are much higher it’s very difficult to get both lungs if the deer is relatively close to the stand due to the angle. My stands may be a bit higher or lower based on the topography near the stand. If the stands are lower deer tend to pick up movement easier. There’s a neat explanation to the angles deer can see at: https://www.qdma.com/articles/deer-can-see-you-even-when-theyre-eating
Enjoy creation,
