I go all the way to the top of my ladderstand 15'. With proper scent elimination good cover backdrop and wind direction observation you really don't need to go any higher. Archers reduce the kill zone area by increasing the shot angle by going to high, which is not a good thing. This small shot angle requires accuracy far greater than a lower shot angle. I have not had a deer scent me in many many years at the 15' height. Remember hunting is about choise, we get to do what we want and what works for us. That's the fun part of hunting. Enjoy! |
