how high for sure higher is better,but dont forget if you have asetup with great back drop,dark pines etc,15 or 16 feet is great.deer are poor at picking you out with a good back drop.providing you DONT MOVE.then the gig is up.ive had them 10 feet from me on the ground with a dark back drop.it works.ive found that when im lower to the ground to pay closer attention to your scent.beat the nose and its to yuor addvantage.i hunt in maine and its thick and nasty so alot of times i like getting high to watch the tops of cover move when the deer arte moving in my direction.its a cool trick.good luck and happy hunting |
