When nature calls???

[Duker]

I've had my pee-bottle fall from my tree stand and yes LEAK in my back-pack so this year i'm going where ever.The Female pee does sound interesting  

[Geezer]

When its really cold, just be sure you lean further away from the stand so you don't pee in your coveralls - makes a mess.

I hear ya one and all...and respect my Gang bretheran.

But there just something about having to remember WHERE it all landed from a tree stand when I get down, tramping around and my bow, pack and stand have got to be laid down under the tree...

and what Geezer said...you young bucks must still maintain decent "pressure"...cause I might as well just whiz down the tree itself... and with 3 layers on... and BPH...Nah.

I'll stick with the gator aide bottle. And as alluded to, it serves as a  hand warmer for a few minutes!

don't know if this adds up to much but i had an 8 pointer on camera all summer, then in mid july i decided to start peeing near my grain pile (by my fall tree stand) to get them used to my scent for fall, and he never came again

Definitely get rid of the bottle and go wherever you feel like going.

Reminds me of how a buddy of mine used to take a bottle of Mt.Dew with him to his stand along with another empty Mt. Dew bottle for relieving himself. Well, he got up into his stand and had to pee right then. So, he used the empty bottle to "go" in and then put it back in his pack.

Later, he got thirsty and grabbed his Mt. Dew out of his pack and guess what! You're right! He grabbed the wrong bottle and took a big swig before he realized he grabbed the wrong one! True story.

We always tease him about how, if that happened to one of us, we sure never would've told anyone about it!

I chose a patch of long grass to water in a swamp once, and that caused a distraught brown snake to evacuate. We were both surprised!

Just pee.....I read an interesting article once by a deer biologist on this issue and he claimed that during the rut is the sound of it hitting the leaves will actually attract a buck as he scent checks a does urine.  And actually had a young buck come in this morning right after I had relieved myself.  I watched him walk around and come directly below my stand smelling my urine and never spooked.

I remember as a "young buck" I could hit a knot hole in an adjacent tree from one of my stands. Kinda like shooting the water pistol into the clowns mouth at the carnaval. Ah, those were the days..............

And you are right, you have to plan where to go so you don't lower your bow in the spot. Pee and terbacky spit go to the right, bow to the front, my steps on the left.

 thats too funny

[bentpole]

I PEE! A few years ago I actually had a button buck lickin' it   :eek:  Just this year I had a button buck and a doe fawn under my stand after PEEING. I had cut some branches off  a dogwood tree behind me. They were feeding on the fresh leaves on the ground. My human scent never bothered them.

[Doc Nock]

David, David, David....just too many visuals right there...may never see that carnival game in quite the same way again!   :rolleyes:        

[BigJim]

After shooting my deer on Friday, I could hold it no longer. I picked a specific spot so I could remember where. That way I could watch for a reaction from deer.
Had a small buck wack right through it and never paid it any attention.

I just go   :p

[BCWV]

I've been back and forth on this one as I've seen deer pay no attention to it and I've seen deer shy away.

 I think deer or any animal can be conditioned to things, good and bad. If a deer smells urine and associates it with danger as in maybe a missed shot or spooked by smelling me because of a wind change, it could teach it to fear the smell.

 Make sense? That's my thoughts on it any way.

[bowtough]

Pee in all my scrapes dude,deer love it!    I'm serious I get just as much action as I do by using expensive lures.

[BowHunterGA]

Let it fly. I have only had this happen once but several years ago I let fly from about 20' up a tree, there were a lot of leaves on the ground and it made a lot of noise hitting the ground. Before I could finish I heard running footsteps and remember thinking someone was pulling a prank on me when in runs a little 6 point. He walked right beneath me and circled around my stand looking somehwat confused, then ambled off in the direction he was headed when he ran in.

Personally though I try to only drink water when in the stand all day. I avoid coffee because personally I think coffee makes my urine smell particularly strong.

[RedShaft]

i go rite on the ground, never ever had a problem. now im talking a #1 not a #2 lol

[Jim Boettcher]

BowhunterGA, I had the same experience you did. I had 2 spikes come charging in to within 15 feet of my tree. Missed the one, but they just stood there looking at each other. Got a second shot and took the other deer. I think I read that same article mentioned above.

[Uncle Buck]

i would worry more about the excess movement and sound than the Scent, You can pee in a bottle without standing up or making much noise. I once spent 3 morning hours huddled in a ground blind. when I could wait no longer I stood up and walked to the back of it to pee, As soon as I started a six point jumped out of his bed 15 yards away and was gone in a second, he had been there the whole time. I often wonder if I would not have stood up would he have eventuslly tried to sneak off and maybe given me a shot.

Twenty some years ago the host of a show called Michigan Outdoors was testing the claims made by the deer lure peddlers He poured a whole mason jar of his own urine on the Ground and then later filmed deer actually rolling in it like a dog.
