You could post an address. Then it could be looked up with a mapping website. The biggest factor is the wind. You want to find a spot where the deer are traveling between their bedding area and their preferred food source without getting detected by their nose. Maybe the reason you aren't seeing much is your approach to the stand.

My step-dad taught me this lesson on a windy day. It was shotgun season and he was going to "push" a small woodlot. I was to sit at the north end and he would push from the south as we had a hard south wind. He waited to the west of the woodlot until I was in position and as soon as he stepped in front (to the south) of the woods, five doe came running full speed out the North end. It was amazing.
