Urinating at the stand

What do yall do when the 5 cups of coffee you drank on the way to the lease has finally made it to your bladder?:)
 
I carry a 32 oz GatorAid bottle with me. Its the perfect size for my treestand (Old Man Vision stand). Its the perfect size for getting everything in the bottle and it holds a lot. Its rare that I go more than 32 oz in a morning, it happens, but its rare. I've heard people say that urinating doesn't spook the deer, but its easy enough to carry the bottle and not have to worry about it either way.
 
I've started carrying a bottle. Of course, since I've started carrying a bottle, I haven't had to use it :rolleyes:

I just let it rip. I do it where I don't have to stand or walk in it. I shoot a deer every year. Two years ago I shot a 4 pt buck while he was sniffing my puddle.
 
It is my understanding that solid waste will not spook and animal, but urine will. Kind of like a dog marking it's territory.:D

Bed wetter! Run out of Depends diapers! :)

Been doing the tree stand deal for over 20 years. And if there is one thing that I have learned is that if your quarry has not come within the 5 or so hours that you are sitting, it ain't coming and you're in the wrong spot. Think that any grown man can pinch off his pecker (squeeze the cheeks for the ladies) for 5 hours. And it is not the pee that's the problem, it's the noise. Supposedly, your animal is coming from upwind. So if the location is a one time deal, pee smell is not going to matter. But if you do pee, like Paul said, you just marked the territory. Strong foreign smells and game animals don't mix well.

i go on a little still hunt expedition and mark someone elses territory

with enough terrain knowledge you can scent mark a drive line that forces the deer right into your truck
;)
one of the prefered deer stands at camp is the outhouse
 
I drank 19 beers the night before a big deer hunt on my uncle's farm and needless to say the sun chased the deer sausage out of me after about 3 hours in the stand with some decent ralphing...oops

Saw three deer and then the next weekend, my uncle shot a big buck out of that same stand.

He asked if I would come up there sometime and "bait" all of his stands...smarta$$..
 
I've heard before that deer pay no attention to human urine. There was a website/blog that I saw a couple/few years ago where the guy actually studied it out and he claimed that the deer reacted to his human urine scraps just the same as they did to the real ones. Ever since then, when I'm on stand I just "let it fly".
 
I don't even climb down. Of course I have only been deer hunting two years and my only deer was a fluke buck we woke up/startled while chatting on our way back to deer camp on a very very cold day. Three guns, 15 yards and 5 slugs. Poor thing. At least they were all boiler room and forward.
