Q:
Hey there Ive been deer hunting in Wisconsin a few times during gun season and Ive taken a couple nice 10 pointers but, my stepdad and I just got a new piece of land to hunt and we have to hang stands this weekend. Any advice on certain things to look for while hanging?

heavily traveled trails but it would be good to set up a trail cam. You will probaly find these between were they bed down and a water source so the best thing you can do if you have time is to throughly scout the area
Look for features that create natural choke points...bottlenecks or funnels if you will. For example: a break in the brushline along a field, a break in a fence, a heavily used crossing along a stream, or a heavily used deer trail along the edge of a pond. Such areas are subject to heavy deer traffic, and there will probably be a very obvious trail and several fresh tracks along these features. Just be sure set up your stand down wind!
"Saddle's" and "funnel's " come to mind.
Food source's, water if dry.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !
look for simply funnel points try to even map them to cover and water and food it is good to know where the deer are heading and going to. Funnels are only good when they lead for example to three things deer need. Some paths are simply used for travel during the winter and lead for example to winter bedding areas. good luck

Hang stands that give you the ability to hunt no matter the wind direction. For example one for when the wind comes out of the north, so the wind will be in your face. Consider the wind when you hang a stand. Often success comes through spending every minute in the woods, so no matter the stand STAY PUT ALL DAY!
deer.
look for trails if you have any hollows put some stands in there and on open fields for rifle season
