I hadn't planned on replying to this thread since everyone seems to have covered just about anything you could possibly need in a deer stand. But, I just read M Bucker's comment on using toilet paper in the woods.

I was Elk hunting in CO many years ago. While standing on a logging road talking to another guy in our hunting party, I caught a white flash out of the corner of my eye. Now, I know they ain't to many whitetails in the CO mountains but, since that's what I'm used to huntin in the flat country, that was the first thing that came to mind.

Now, I also consider myself a safe and ethical hunter, but since I did not have any binocs I immediately rasied my gun up to look through my scope. I did not even have a round in the chamber, but when I looked through that scope I was expecting to see a massive deer bounding away and given a chance, I might even have a chance at a shot. But, you can imagine my surprise when what I saw was a guy wipin his ars and he had absoutly no orange to be seen anywhere. He layed his gun down, took off his vest, and was oblivious to us standing just a couple hundred feet away.

That really spooked me because I've done the same thing without even thinking about what I was doing. When you see that white flash (TP) and you see no orange, the first thing that runs through your mind, at least mine anyway, is it's a deer!

So, my point here, is when your taking a restroom break in the woods, and you feel the need to be mostly naked when your doin it, AT LEAST WEAR A BLAZE ORANGE HAT!!

Oh yeah, have some respect for others including the landowner, and bury your waste.
