What height are you guys typically hunting from? I'm using 4 LW sticks without any aiders and the platform is around 18' give or take a foot or so. I find this height to be pretty good for my needs, but was curious what everyone else hunts at.

As high as the cover requires.
I can get to 22-24 feet with my sticks and aiders, but plan on using spurs for basically every hunt this year. So, I could go to 30’ for not much more effort and zero more weight.

If I'm around 20' that usually fine for my spots. Think most of the deer I have shot have been above me or eye level anyways.
Can't cut lanes on public so I usually just get as high as I can and still be able to take shots where I think they are coming in.

About 20-25' for my mobile setups. 20-30' depending on cover for my presets.

I hunt with a mobile setup every time. I use the 1 stick method and rappel down. I generally hunt 20-30 feet as the terrain and canopy dictate.
