John I like yours.
I tried it the other way. Putting my stands up first and letting him know where I was. It seemed I always ended up hunting in the same section of woods as him that way.[:@]Now I give him first choice and take what's left. I end up being not nearly as close to his stands this way.
Also hunting away from property lines can help with this too. Everybody always wants to see whats going on on the other side of the fence.
Another tip is get off of the field edges and back in the woods. I would say 75% or more ofhunters hunt field edges only. You can avoid most of them and see more deer in daylight back in the woods a ways.
