Will deer see hunters in a stand that’s 10′ tall?
Filed under: Hunting Tactics
Question
can a tree stand be 10 feet tall on the edge of a paraline could the deer see ya? or does it have to be 15 feet?
Kody,
I’m more concerned about how much a hunter is moving than the stand’s height. Deer eyes are created to detect movement. I’ve had many deer walk within feet of me while sitting on the ground with orange on. I’ve also been busted many times when moving while in a stand that’s 20′ high.
As a close friend of mine says “the best camo is a can of sit still.”
10′ high will work great if you remain still. Most importantly please wear a safety harness and be tethered to the tree from the first step off the ground!
Enjoy creation,
