On Nov.19 I got in my stand around 7:30. About 3pm I had to go so I stood up leaned over the front and took a leak. At 5:25 i shot a main frame 9pt. with 2 extra kickers. He was @ 12yds. and downwind. I have no problem going in or around my stand and will sometimes go in a scrape. Don't know if it attracts deer(probably not) but I don't think it bothers them.
