Most seasoned hunters will not hang stands close to houses depending on what method of hunting they are doing. Myself if hunting with a bow i try to stay at least 100 yards from a dwelling and with a rifle i'll increase it to 250 yards. Regardless of distance a hunter should be aware of what is in front of or behind his or her intended target. It also a good idea that the hunters education program be attended whether you hunt or not because it teaches a great deal in safety and all around knowledge of the woods.
