When u gotta go, u gotta go. I've pissed off my stand. No problems w/the deer. A friend of mine told mea story of his dad walking out to his stand, when he had to cross a fence. He grabbed hold of a post to help him over, then pee'd over by his stand. He watched a buck walk up to the fence line & that buck smelled that post he had touched & then backed up & turned around. I think our touching stuff leaves trace oils on the surface & that's what is causing the deer to scatter.
