It all depends where it is and how I come and go to it. If I can get out of there without spooking deer that have already passed I will sit in it a couple of days in a row. Then I will give it at least 3 days to cool off before going back. I usually place several stands and play the wind as the deciding factor in which one I go to. If I get busted in any stand I'll let it be for 5 days or more.
