If I have to go I will pee anywere. Even with a bow, it has never bothered my hunting.

I try to go before and after to reduce the chance while in the stand, but if I have to I will. Don't think its that big of a deal breaker, have seen deer walk right passed a spot right after and didn't think twice. Plus I have a six year old son thats been hunting with me since he was four(on and off) and it never fails that he's gonna have to go at some point lol

Whenever nature calls! Out of the bow stand and even in scrapes I'm running trail cams over. Obviously I don't think its a problem.

I'm obviously in the minority here and I've gone back and forth on this one. Do I think my urine spooks deer? Nope. I think it raises their curiosity and that's what I'm trying to avoid esp. when the source of the curiosity is directly beneath my stand.
"If", (I don't) I was using a scent station such as doe in heat or rutting buck type of scent I wouldn't place it directly underneath me. I am willing to bet that any mature buck or doe for that matter that catch's a wiff of your puddle of pee will pay attention to it and once a mature deer pays attention to a scent they "will" pinpoint the source of that scent. I've been at this for over 40 yrs. and on average for the last 10 yrs. i've spent over 60 days a season sitting in trees and I can guarantee you that you will pay dearly sooner or later from peeing out of your stand. If your willing to accept the consequence's let it rip.

I have both peed and spit on deer directly under my stand and none of them reacted negatively to it or knew I was there...
