Mine stay out all season long. I place them mainly by the food plots. It doesn't seem to bother them there.
I don't think my camera bothers 'em either, 130.
I think me CHECKING THEM, does.
Good luck!
Your right, and i leave my scent everywhere when i have to put out 100 lbs of corn in front of a camera once a week too. I put mine up once, maybe twice in a area and then leave it alone.
