I bring a plastic bottle to pee in and sometimes I fill it. From there the rest goesto the bottom of my stand. I always hear different thoughtson wether or not deer are bothered by this oder, what feedback do you guys have?

Honestly, some people claim that urine can act as a deer lure. I never drink more than a few sips of coffee the morning of a hunt, so I never have to worry about it. If I did have to go, I would get down and walk downwind a ways and go. I have even dug a small depression with my boot and after urinating I will then kick dirt over the hole to cover it up.

I never worry about it. I have to take water pills so my lungs dont fill up.so i go every 10 minutes.and have to drink then to prevent dehydration. Shot 184 buvk in my lifetime. You make the conclusion

if your only drinking water i dont think it matters but this past weekend i drank a ton of coffee and when i fired away off the stand it smelled like mountain roast to me. i think in some cases what you drink will matter a couple hours before a hunt. i like to use the wide mouth gatorade bottles in the stand for all day hunts.

I know about the mountain roast thing. My wife complains that when I go to the bathroom, the bathroom smells like coffee brewing for a half hour. I had an idea about bottling the stuff as some kind of "gourmet" blend. I know the French would buy it!

If any of you have ever pee'd in a scrape then you know that the urine odor is definately an attractant and in know way scares the deer.

Try drinking some apple cider

I use to carry a pee jug with me but now I just go if I have to.I've heard of guys peeing in scrapes and having good luck.After a few hours I think it all smells like ammonia anyway.

well in the rain.. i whizzed off the stand today.. usually i carry a 2 liter bottle to pee in. I have heard that the smell from the pee usually lasts 30 minutes.

I don't think it matters much. Lots of guys pee in mock scrapes and claim it attracts deer. When ya got to go you got to go.
