Twentyfive usually. Sometimes more sometimes less . Just make sure u get in a good position with cover and natural shooting lanes . U can take urself right out of the action if u go to high
i never get over 0 feet, i bow hunt exclusively from the ground, i have found it much more rewarding and challenging hunting them with a compound from the groud, any one can kill a deer out of a tree with a bow! makes it a better hunt when they are at 10 yards eye to eye and you have to pick just the right moment to draw and shoot, fixing to take it up another notch and go strictly recurve!!!!
