Great advice but what if you hunt a stand that allows the deer to come from any direction.
My favorite stand, one that has produced very well for me is in the center of a funnel.
I rarely hunt a stand where deer can come from any direction. I try to find places where the can come from 2 - 3 directions. Otherwise it is too easy to get busted.
I never sit in the center of a funnel. It is usually too easy to get busted and ruin the whole funnel. I sit in the mouths of the funnels at either end, depending on the wind.
