I hunt from the ground, that's about as low as you can get!     

One time a sat in the fork of a tree no more then  6 or 7  feet off  the ground and deer got pretty close with out seeing  me. Also have hunted from ground and had deer come in to  eye site range .

Hunted or killed?  I’ve hunted from 4’-18’ usually stay in the 10-12’ range.  Have killed plenty at the 6-8’ height it’s all about the cover.

 I guess killed  or seen  deer from

I've killed deer from the ground, up to twenty feet, and all in between. Cover, or lack thereof is the key. Though I'm no fan of heights. 

90% of my hunting over the last decade or so has been from the ground.

Three feet in a crook of a tree

Twenty-Five feet up in a pine with a small foot platform.  (I was young then)

Shot deer from both but now I've settled on twelve feet.

My heights are pretty standard - 15'-20'.

Today I climbed the skinniest tree ever but it was the only climbable tree where they have been feeding. 
Thankfully it was  a calm day.

6-15 max.... Not a fan of heights at all and I've trained myself to sit pretty still, at least for 4 to 5 hours straight.  The eyes move first and then the head extremely slow.

When we are upstate I will occasionally hunt from the ground, but down here on Long Island I need some height because of the thick crap

I've hunted as low as 1-2 feet just to get off the ground and not make noise with my feet but basically plant myself inside a brush pile on a tree and see over the brush.  Then I've hunted upwards of 35-40 feet when gun hunting.  Nowadays I'm in that 20-25ft range mostly but might go upwards of 30.

Back in the Day of screw in steps I had a stand at 20 ft.    Produced lotta Deer !

[G-man]

5 ft to 22 ft

[Bolt Action]

Most of my stands are ladder stands, do most are right around 15 feet. With my hang ons and my climber i stick right around that same height. The higher you go, the more the tree sways in the wind and that's unsettling. I also worry about shoot placement and shot angle the higher i go.

Lowest was 1.5'. I was using the platform as a seat because I was on a knowl  and the bear bait was 15' below me.  

Highest probably 16'.  

[Cabin Fever]

10-30'. In my younger days I didn't mind going up 30'. Always thought the higher the better, boy was I wrong! Screw that!! In the last 4-5 years, I've switched over to all ladder stands, so 15-18' height is plenty!

I’ve shot deer from stands where my feet were less than 1ft off the ground and my biggest racked buck I shot in Ohio and my 35ft pull up rope had my muzzleoader swinging as I climbed in my climber. I had to tighten the belts one my lone wolf twice as I climbed NOT RECOMMENDED! The higher I went the more I could see so I kept climbing. Shot him at 20yds so it was all for nothing.
