Here's a tip if you're on public property and using a logging trail or road to access your stand location and want to keep your stand hidden from other hunters as long as possible. Vary the exact spot where you leave the trail to head to your stand. If you use the same spot to walk from the trail to the stand, the vegetation on the side of the road will get trampled after a few passes...leading every hunter that comes in after you right to your tree. Out of sight, out of mind. Some hunters are lazy and will just follow any trail to an established tree-stand site. I try to make it as hard for that type as possible so that they don't bust my location for the deer when I'm not around.
