I wasn't saying being close to road makes anyone lazy, but there are many lazy hunters that will only go so far(or have health or age issue's) if a spot is secluded enough and where few folks go, then close to a road MIGHT be ok
I cannot say one way or the other not knowing all the details on things

but what I do know is they have done MANY many studies over the yrs and found that MOST hunters don;'t walk far from there vehicle,
thus, that means, any spot close to a road that has good food, cover, safety and so on, is more likely to have someone walk in on you!
as to a spot farther off the road would be of same conditions!

some times easy access spots can be over looked and well some times they can be over run with hunters
this is something more seasoned and experienced hunters learn fast?
and as such, most when scouting an area, also look for sign of other hunters , and not just sign of the game there after!

signs from hunters can be, walking paths, , markers to stand sites, trash, markings on tree;'s from using climbing stands and the likes,
