Are you on private land that you own? I have my own land that I hunt on year after year and I don't have to worry about public access to the land, so what I do is get some 2 x 4 's and some plywood and build me a sturdy one up in a tree that I have seen deer passing year after year. Paint that thing green / brown / black and you are good to go. Durabilty is good, too. I have had some up in trees for well more than 5 years and counting. Just go out and check each year for weathering and replace wood as needed. You can also use a pallet up in a tree. Sounds redneck, yes I know, but my redneck "pallet stand" as we call it, killed a 12 pointer last year!
