I am new to the hang and hunt method and I’m not sure which sticks best fit me. I am 6’4”. Which sticks are the best for my height? Thanks in advance.
 
Sky’s the limit fir tall guys...... hawk helium’s are probably best budget stick, but Beast sticks are my favorite.

You might want to look at a couple of options outside of "sticks".
First is the Wild Edge Stepp Ladder. It's actually a bag of separate "rungs"or steps that are strapped onto your tree. Current users (me, too) are cutting back on the number of steps they buy, using the Aider/Knaider combination to almost triple the amount of space between one. Wild Edge got the message and is offering a 5 pack that with the help of A/K can get you up about 25 ft or so. With your long legs, I would think that this should be a reachable height.
A second alternative to sticks is a rope ascension method; either Single Rope Technique (SRT) or Double Rope Technique (DRT). Both have their supporters with strong opinions coming from each camp. New York Saddle Hunter has some excellent How To videos on YouTube that show DRT in action. This approach could be my favorite because of the lack of special equipment needed.
So, do a little research and price comparison and come up with your favorite. Let us know how you manage.
