EXACTLY. Pop's always told me that ANYTIME you're in the woods, always have your rifle close. Doesn't matter if you're taking a wizz, or doing other things. YOU NEVER KNOW.
I actually got down off my stand during rifle season once to take a wizz, and no joke - got down, unzipped and let it fly - no sooner than when the first drops were hitting the ground I heard something coming running.
I pulled my rifle off my shoulder while mid-stream only to have 5 does come running through only 30 yards from where I was taking a leak. They had gotten kicked up by someone else that was hunting the property. Had it been a buck, I would have dropped him with my pants down and it hanging out...no joke!
