During the season I drape camo netting over the shooting rail of those stands. I've had deer in spitting distance. If it's been out there for a month or more they totally ignore the stand.
I set it where it is to allow me to look about 125 yards down the logging cut to the left (you can't see it in the picture) and about 80 yards down the cut to the right (where the second picture was taken from). Also, there's a 50 yard cross-cut straight away from the front of the stand.
It's a s-w-e-e-e-t spot.
