Reply To: Question – effects if "cook time" for a hide

[Carolyn MurrayParticipant]

If I set hides around my house/yard, I can set hours in advance (set them at lunch then run them when I get home from work). For the most part I set hides up to half an hour ahead of start time – for classes and practices.

If I’m in a pinch for time, I might add a fresh qtip or two, but I don’t always remember to do that.

How important is the age of a hide in a humid versus an arid environment??
