i keep all of mine on public land. best advice i can give like others have mentioned is to keep it as hidden as possible, if you are thinking about putting it close to roads or areas where you have seen other hunters hunt, i would be weiry...i usually hunt a good distance from roads or where i usually see people..this really helps, although if you put them up now, not many hunters are willing to take the time to scout, so this could be in your benefit.
