Besides attempting to hunt a stand where the wind is blowing away from the expected deer entrance/exit area, I try to have the wind blowing from me towards a brush pile, pond, cliff - something that prohibits deer from standing in that spot. But, I feel like my best locations are areas where the deer can be anywhere around me. The only way to hunt this is to get as scent free as possible.
I understand funnels and wish my property had more where I could sit to the side and have deer travel by right to left or left to right.
On a side note, either the left or right side of your stand should be towards the expected shooting spot. This depends on hand dominance. Don't put the front where you want to shoot. For rightys put the right side where you DON'T expect to shoot, left side for left handers. Make sense?
