The easiest way to avoid people in your shit is to not tell anyone about it. The only way 3 people can keep a secret is if 2 are dead right? Aside from that get a dog. Train it to be vocal.

I been planting near beehives sometimes I don't even want to check on my ladies. Then I think of all the money I wasted on weed and walk my ass through bushes full of bees. Yet to get stung(knocks on wood).

1. never plant more than 5 in one spot
2. Never put them in any pattern
3. Top some, leave some normal.
4. Find a place that has been clear cut , but has had at least a year to grow random types of vegitation with various shades of greens and browns.
5. Never go to your spots the same way over and over again. You have to mix it up. I recommend buying a plugger and plotting your points so you can get to them from anywhere. Once you've plotted them, write them down on a piece of paper and keep it somewhere safe. Familiarize yourself with a basic compass if you aren't already in case your plugger fails.
6. Stay away from linear paths (creeks, roads, wood lines, power line trails, etc.) these are the natural paths people tend to follow through the woods if they're available.
7. Stay away from known areas of interest in the woods, or easily recognizable landmarks( unique trees, boulders, caves, etc.)
8 Don't break brush. Walk softly. Have another reason to be in the woods if you happen to walk up on somebody.
9. Don't smoke cigarettes on the way to your spots. People can smell smoke if they're near by. If you do, put your butts in your pocket.
10. Don't set traps. It's a dead give away. As much as some people like to talk, they don't have the balls to set a deadly trap, nor are they prepared to deal with the consequenes in event somebody actually hits it. Even if they don't know it was you that set it, you better believe somebody will wonder why it was there. Try going out to your crop after that. Good luck.

Ways to know if you've been found out :

Pay attention to the way everything looks everytime you come and go.
If your spot is really good, you shouldn't have to worry about somebody walking up on it.
If they do, it just wasn't your day.
