    I set my stand at 25'-26' and I was wondering how high everyone else puts theirs.

    This year I think mine is at 28'. We have another two at about 24' depends on the cover around you.

    I use a lock on with climbing sticks and set up at 25'-26' this year. I wanted to be above the little trees and have more of a chance to not be noticed.

    Mine usually range somewhere roughly between 18 to 30 feet. Depends on cover... I like to be nestled between a few large limbs.

    My ladder stand is 20'.
    My Summit Viper climber is usually ~20' when I stop (based on the pull-up rope).

    Depends. Ive got some 15ft ladder stands that I've killed a bunch from. I've got one that's only about 8 ft up but because of the slope in the hill its about 30 feet over the logging road where deer travel. I usually go about 18 or 20 in my climber when I can.

    I don't really like my ladder stands. They seem too low for me after a few hunts in them.

    It all depends on cover and terrain for me. I have stands that go from 15' to 25'.
