I like to be within 1 km of running water but I like to look for a dip near a ridge that acts like a natural wind break when in the mountains, and like others i like to be within 500 yards of my morning glassing spot. When just deep in the backcountry - moose country ( rather than sheep) - I pick a nice spot in a an area with big pine trees, ground is usually drier, softer earth and you have natural overhead shade.
