Too pee or not too pee.......

[Hot Hap]

MX-Don't get those bottles mixed up. Hap

[Gordy]

let it fly.  Especially into the near by scrapes.  

[MYSTIKBOW]

I have to agree with everyone else. Let it fly.
I never really liked the idea of pissin in a bottle anyhow. To easy to get it all over yerself. especially when it's cold out.  Hehehe
I'm a  BIG coffe drinker myself but since coffee is a diaretic I switch to hot tea during the hunting season. No more frequent wizzing problems. At least for me.

Holy Crap, 6 yards is 18 feet, thats a heck of a stream from the stand.  About 10 feet is all I can reach.

Hap,
  You beat me to it. If you do mix them up you'll only do it once.

Urine is used to communicate in the animal world, human urine makes deer curious and almost all of them will stop and check it out. I did some experimenting with scents for fox trapping years ago, two very effective scents for catching fox were human urine and old spice after shave, no kidding! So let er fly!

When the leaves are dry a heavy stream can make quite a bit of noise from up a tree. I'll let it go so it sounds like morse code, or a squirrel moving around.

It really works well on scraps. I try to pee in every one I find and they are almost always twice the size in a day or two.

[randy grider]

you will never convince me that peeing on the ground leaves less scent than peeing in a bottle and capping it off, i'm sorry, i'm not buying it.

I carry 2 large zip lock freezer bags. In an emergency, I use one bag, then zip it up inside the second bag to be on the safe side. Dispose of after the hunt. Knock on wood, I'm still able to hold out for several hours & don't have to use the bags very often.

I never used to but this year I pee'd from the tree and saw deer shortly thereafter.    Given all I've read and my personal experience I don't think it makes that much difference.


I do agreee that urine left in a bottle will become much more odorous then that left on the ground.

Peeing in a bottle.

I have a lawn care business and do mostly weed and feed applications. During the day when working I find the need to relieve myself. I can't do it on a customers lawn and I can't take the time to run to a public restroom. So, i usually slip into the enclosed trailer I'm pulling and pee into a bottle. It doesn't take long for the amonia to build up and by the end of the day it's pretty rank.

If your gonna sit in a stand all day and use that bottle more than once, you've created your own stink bomb.

[PICKNGRIN]

The old time hot water bottles work well if you choose to contain it.

[mxracer483]

peeing in zip lock bags?? sounds like hand and coat warmers to me  

[Shawn Leonard]

Randy it does not leave less scent, it just does not spook deer. They do not associate the smell with humans, so it is not alarming to them. Shawn

Every animal in the woods uses its urine to identify itself and mark its territory.  Maybe human urine spooks deer, maybe it doesn't.  But it doesn't belong there and knowing how every other animal uses its whiz, I ain't about to join in.

Maybe does and young bucks react with curiosity or sexual aggression.  But a big old buck ain't the same critter.

As far as using a container.  Use a metal or glass container with a good seal.  Clean it out after every hunt.   The only time any smell will escape is when you use it and that vapor will dissipate quickly in the air.  Not peeing on the ground is too easily accomplished to risk it.

You think your pee under your stand might not hurt anything.  Perhaps.  I know the lack of pee under my stand won't hurt anything.

I can't argue with a big buck being whole different animal. Now you got me rethinking the whole thing again.

Many years ago there was a study published in the American Rifleman that said male human urine many times attracts bucks to a scrape.  Female human urine, though, did not have the same effect.  I've watered the woods in a ravine only to look up while fastening the pants to have a group of does standing only feet from me on top of the ditch and not have a worry.

[John Scifres]

As always, it depends. Some deer don't care at all. Some care a whole lot.

If a deer has been shot at by a guy that smells like coffee pee, and you pee from your stand after drinking half a pot, I bet that deer will care a lot. If a deer lives on a farm where lots of workers are peeing in the woods all the time and not shooting at him, then he probably won't care much.

Deer aren't necessarily smart but they sure do remember well.

I don't take killing deer so seriously as to worry about it anymore but when I did, I sure didn't take the chance.  Plus it's fun to pee from a stand.  Especially when there's snow on the ground

All of this happened on the last day of a hunting trip where I was hunting in a stand from dark to dark.

I used to pee in a empty water bottle all the time until I had one leak (pun intended). I filled a bottle with pee the previous night and forgot to take it out of my pack. I noticed it the next morning when I got to my stand height in a tree with my climber. I climbed back down, pulled the bottle out and covered it with oak leaves. I then crushed oak leaves all over my pack. Then I sprayed everything with no scent. I then climbed up and as I was about to pull my bow up, and noticied a Booner ten feet from my stand. I froze, and he walked right under my stand and then walked off.

I did end up taking a beautiful deer that morning but not a booner. Neither deer spooked on the urine scent.

I just go when I have to go now and don't worry about it.
