Man how high up do you even need to be at a minimum?  Never really even thought about itYou only need to go up 10’ or so. Unless the shooting lane or angle to the trail is better higher up.  Just my opinion and experience.  And wear a harness unlike what Savell is doing. .

 Insert profound nonsense here

With a bow … aim at the bottom of their chest … allows for the deer to drop too

Just make sure you maintain all the lines. They will fray rubbing on the tree. I’m sure you’re aware of that though. 
 Hope you smoke a big old doe or something.

Man how high up do you even need to be at a minimum?  Never really even thought about it20 ft us rule of thumb. If you can get into cover lower than that, so much the better. If you're in a tree that's practically a telephone pole with. I limbs, you might need to go 30-40... |  |  |

I had the thirty inch helium sticks and cut them down to twenty four inches. When I climb I only used three of them with an aider on the bottom step. 
 I bought the Skeletors from Tethrd for this year, and will run three of them the same way as the others.
