I agree with both NJ and Sooner above. I do agree that if this is public land you have the right to set your stand up anywhere you want. However, Sooner makes a very good point that you could be getting into a serious confrontation with someone you do not know who may have a short and violent fuse and carrying a lethal weapon. When you weigh things up and you have your wife and kids waiting for you to come home or you 'fighting it out' to get a deer, the price you could pay for that deer is too great. I would not take the chance myself.
