Peeing From Your Stand

I do not pee from the tree. Like you I carry a Gatoraide bottle. ( Wide mouth of course)

Do a search on here... I've written volumes about peeing from stand. The year I killed my 162-class, I finally got an arrow through him on the sixth time I saw him. I regularly pee from my stand.
There's been study after study showing it has no effects on deer. All you're doing by taking a bottle into the woods is bringing an extra noise-maker, something else to take up room in your pack, and opening yourself up to spillage later on.

I do, because since deer are attracted to sweet smells they wil naturally be currious about it and go to investigate the new smell. I know our stuff might not be so sweet smelling to us,lol, but its a totaly different thing to the deer and it has attracted deer to my stand many a time.

Here's my story.
Wow! I finally got a deer with my bow! I thought I was shooting at a 10 pointer but got this weird one instead. On X-Mas Morning! He caught me literally with my pants down. A weird series of events left me having to take a leak from my stand. At 7:45 AM, I had just finished taking a leak and had just retreated through 4 layers of cloths, and there he was. Twelve yards away on a trail behind me. I saw 5 on one side and a g-2 with a sticker, and said "grab your bow". The bow was behind me and when I turned to get it, the safety belt hung up. I ripped it around me, he heard it and stopped with his head behind a bush. I grabbed my bow and got it on the other side of the tree and he was still standing there. There was a large limb between us and I used it to draw behind. Once at full draw, I crouched slowly until I could see his vitals. Centered my pin and shot. Nice double lung, he went 46 yards and fell over. What a great hunt! I think it was my 75th hunt. I certainly put in the time. Started to get weary. But I knew that I couldn't get one from my livingroom.
Merry Christmas to all!

That's what makes it so fun.
Earlier this season, I had relieved myself from a different stand and an hour later a 10 pointer came under my tree (no shot) and rubbed his antlers on the limbs that I peed on![:-]
