I HUNT ABOUT THE SAME DISTANCE FROM MY HOUSE ALSO AND I'VE LEFT HANG ON STANDS OUT FOR AWHILE. AS LONG AS IT'S NOT RIGHT ON A ROAD OR 4 WHEELER TRAIL AND IT'S A HANG ON STAND, YOU CAN FOLD IT UP AGAINST THE TREE AND PUT A COUPLE OF LEAFY BRANCHES UP THERE IF IT'S NOT HIDDEN REAL GOOD, AND MOST PEOPLE WON'T SEE IT AT ALL. UNLESS OF COURSE IF THEY'RE OUT THERE LOOKING FOR STANDS TO STEAL. I USUALLY PUT A CABLE LOCK AROUND MINE ALSO. AND MINE ARE USUALLY AROUND 20' OFF THE GROUND.
