chris I leave mine hanging on my deck the entire season, but the one thing I will tell you is if you are not playing the wind you will get busted, you can cut down on your scent with the scent lock suits and all the spray on scent eliminators, but there is no way even with these that you can totally eliminate your scent, remember you inhale and exhale and when you exhale a certain amount of your scent is exhaled. Scent Lock suits a expensive and until they come up with one that is fully self contained(your breath is recycled)I will play the wind.
