20 ft is a good height not only for scent forgivness but also visibility deer look up yes but not 20 ft up
i like to use tress that are of mutiple limbs for cover if no cover simply use cut off pine branches stick them in your stand it works great trust me I can honestly say ive never been busted!!
also the new hunter safety sysytem lite is awesome its light and made fantastic it cost me 90$ and ill have till i dont hunt no more whick isnt any time soon guarenteed 90 $ is a great investment for your life and family and yes 10 or 20 ft you really should wear a harness your neck will thank you.. theres no reason to be higher than 20 ft as that is pretty high up if your getting busted in tree stand your to low try 20 ft use pine brances they stay green all hunting season as well as give off a pine scent
FORGET the wind and just hunt @ 20 ft GO BUY A HUNTER SAFTY SYSTEM its a great product that will last years to come if not forever get the ultra lite new version its just back pack straps very lite and no restrictions.
guys good luck Besafe in every thing you do while hunting Have Fun. RIP to the person who had the fatal fall its to bad..
