RE: Question, What are your thoughts of peeing around your deer stands, while hunting
I limit myself to bottled water when in the field. Bring full ones in & bring "full" ones out. I try to be careful about my out of place scent with cover scents so I try to go the step further to do my best to eliminate the pee scent, too. Farting? Now that's a whole different story. I try to avoid the thin plastic bottles of water though as they tend to make cracking sound when they crush as you hold or open/close them.
I thought this a little suprising though. I had posted asking about fresh paint smell on another new ladder stand I made and painted a few days before opening shotgun season. Most said let it breath and get rid of the smell and use it next year. Well that was kinda my intention - place it in the woods and let it sit until next season. Well come opening morning, I found myself on the "fresh paint" ladder stand. A buck came right in at first light and never saw me or gave any indication of smelling me. He quickly succumbed to a fatal case of "lead poisoning". Smells can be weird I guess.
