The only time i have stealth camped is when i've run out of options. Usually at the wrong end of my own poor judgement. My strategy is to ask for permission to camp.
That said, there are exceptions - usually wilderness areas where there is no one to ask. This hasn't happened to me very often. And i'm a wuss when it comes to deer ticks. Which eliminates most of the northeast United States during touring season.
Everytime I pass a failed corn crop ( which i totally don't get why it has failed to be harvested) I've wondered about it's stealth camp possibilities. Once a row or two back you are lost to the world. it's getting mowed anyway so nothing to hurt. You've got built in bedding and maybe dinner!
