Hi,

if you are travelling 1 hour before sunset in the forest. And the hunters check there area, they know that you camp somewhere (may be not the exact spot, but if they want they will find you) . My former neighbours where as well hunters. They went to their forest - every morning. They hunt normally on the best stealth camping sites. In several countries where I stealth camp I got sometimes a fresh coffee from the landowner. Even in Argentina (3 houses on 100 km distance) I saw a glimmering cigarette in the night close to my site.

My experience is: You can camp somewhere in at least 50 % people know where camp - but they don't care. The real remote sites - you normally do reach with a bicycle.
