RE: relieving ones self
Awildlife biologist told me that you could pisson any scrape or just make a mock scrape and piss in it andthe deer will not be able to tell the difference. He said that the nitrates in human piss are the only thing different from deer piss, and the nitrates either evaporate or are soaked up by the soil in just a couple of hours. He claimed that by pissing in another bucks scrapes, it would makebucks come check it more often looking for a fight.
But I still use a Gatorade bottle while in the stand. Pissing off a 25 ft high stand can be kinda noisy.
