RE: Bathroom in the field???
I look at it this way... I use everything I can to get that big buck... I wear carbon activated clothing... Scout all year... Use cover scents... Wear leafy camo if I am too visible... Wear rubber not leather boots (because leather picks up more scent).... Dress warm enough so I can basically stay out all day... Use grunt calls/rattle... Watch for scrapes... and the list goes on... Basically I exhaust myself to be very careful not to do ANYTHING that might spook that big buck.
Having said that do I think taking a leak near my stand will affect my deer hunting... PROBABLY not... But do I take the chance... Nope, I will not urinate near my stand... Maybe I am supersticous!
