RE: Crapping away the season
At one of our old leases we had built our camp outhouse with a shooting rest. The outhouse was positioned on top of a hill overlooking a penisula of land that dropped off on three sides into thick hill country brush. We all had seen deer along the end of the point and it just seemed logical to make the outhouse a dual purpose shelter! I never took a deer from there but just like a regular stand, I have logged in some time there!
I'd dig a hole and cover it up real well. Maybe give that little treat a few squirts of your favorite scent spray. I had read that human urine is non-threatening to deer as long as the donor wasn't drinking alcohol.
