10 on 58 acres I have stands as close as 35 yrds apart on a hinge cut fence to hunt with multiple winds also two on a 2 acre food plot to hunt with any wind. So far I have hunted there 4 times this year including a hunt with the kids.

13 on 160ac. 4 box blinds, one per 40ac for gun season. 9 bow stands, planning on more for next year.

I have 10 on 40 but really need 3 or 4 more. Seems this year we had many of the SSW and NNW winds instead of the SW and NW winds we normally have and I really needed the extra stands. The buck I shot this year we had rain and crazy wind in the morning so I didn’t go out until 10:00 AM and at 11:30 the wind changed so I changed stands. It wasn’t until 1:00 that I shot the buck.
Some stands are 30 yards apart but they become useful as the landscape changes. The change might be from a big maple to a pine for more cover.
I live right in the middle of my property and everyone tells me how bad that is but the deer haven’t seemed to care much. I just try to have bomb proof access to stands and it has worked out well.
I had 15 sits this year and 8 of them were from the same stand. It was sit 8 that I connected. It’s my best stand and any Westerly wind hits you in the face and no deer can get behind you. Access is out my front door and behind a hinge cut barrier that covers all movement. I really felt like I over hunted it but saw at least 6 deer on every sit this year as they browses one of my TNM plots while heading out to the big field.
On 30 acres I have one box blind, two ladders stands, and six hang on stands. So a total of 9 on 30. I need three more hang on sets and another box would be ideal.

My sons and I are mostly bowhunters and like to be in the open. 7 ladder stands and a permanent box blind on 80 acres. Want to add 4 or 5 more ladder stands and 1 or 2 box blinds as time goes by. Obsession or addiction, not sure which.
I can’t even imagine trying to manage the stands and cameras on a 1,000 acres without some real help. I have 6 cameras out on 200 acres right now and I still have to think about where I’m going to get the cards (granted it’s land I just bought 3 months ago).Actually, most of you have far more of a problem than I. Some significant displays of dedication here. For me, I run 50 stands per 1,000 acres. That gives us about 150 at the main farm give or take a few. I keep a running list of where all the stands and game cameras are at any given time. God help the person that tries to find them with me list. Only I know how to describe these spots. I suspect I should use waypoints for them, but I just don’t for some reason.
The good news is we have enough cameras to darn near catch anyone that tries to trespass. I have not had any for a long time, but we got a vehicle on camera with license plate showing, and a photo of the guys face a few weeks ago. He was a non-resident so our local officer has sent officers in his home state to at least issue him a good trespassing and hunting without permission tickets.

I just subscribed to that. Pretty impressive so far. I was testing the GPS yesterday...the GPS showed, not only the parking space I was in, it showed what PART of that space I was in as I sat in the car.Actually, most of you have far more of a problem than I.

I do similar, but I'm not at the same scale as you. You should try onX app, you can mark waypoints and they have labels for treestand, camera, etc.
