RE: To Pee or Not to Pee
 

LOL another thread gone bad;).

T.R. Michaels had posted about this subject back when he was still moderating T.R.'s Tips. Basically the study said that animal urine and human urine are made up of essentially the same componets. Long story short deer can't tell the diffrence.

I tried to find a link to the post but it appears to have been removed when T.R. left. It's too bad. He's a wealth of information.

Let'er fly they can't tell the difference.

RE: To Pee or Not to Pee
 

Now I don't go around telling this to everyone, and if you promise to keep it between us, I'll tell ya a story that happened to me last year. I was in my stand when the call of nature came, and I'm not talking #1.
I had to just about jump out of the tree, that's how urgent it was. I started running down the trail and got about 30 yards from my stand when I was forced to make a decision. Go here and now or go home with a smelly kind of mud in my shorts. Well I let her go right on the trail, nothin I could do. I tried to bury it as best I could. The next week I missed a monster. He walked right over the same spot in the trail and didn't pay any attention to it. If you gotta go #1 though, I don't see why you would let fly when it's not that much trouble to get down and walk 75 yards or so downwind and return when done. No sense taking chances when you have a choice.

I pee ON other people's stands!! :);)

By the way, what do you bottle pissers do with the bottles and the pee after the hunt?? Always wanted to know the answer to this.

My Dad hasn't been seeing many bucks where he puts his stand. I've been seeing lots. He keeps accusing me of peeing at his stand. I, of course, deny it.

Probably refreshments for the drive home.

i just try to not drink a lot before leaving for the stand during the day...i chew gum to keep from getting thristy...how can you not figure that a deer can smell you down wind even with a scent lock suit or something like that on so how can you think you can get away with peeing in the woods.

Ever notice how strong it smells to you so how far away do u think the deer can smell it... i can imagine it not bothering a yearly or young doe but has anyone seen it not bother a 100 inch buck or better???

During the off season, I will pee in front of a nice buck. I'll let you know what happend. I'm serious.

I dump out my bottle when i get to the car,then recycle that bottle.I've also pissed off my stand on them cold days when i forgot a bottle,I dont think it matters at all.And in reply to what livbucks said bout number 2 I dont think that matters either.True story About 8 years ago i was in upstate ny scouting 2 weeks before the season,Same as livebuck I had to go and go now,Due to,to much bud the night before.Anyway I climed down dug a hole at the base of my tree about 8 inches deep and went,I SWEAR ON THIS May I NEVER GET ANOTHER DEER THE REST OF MY LIFE,About a hour later a spike and 3 does came walking by and he went right to the hole sniffed for a few seconds and kept grazing.By the way I did cover the poo back up.But after that day I do belive our number 1 and 2 does not alarm deer.
Ciggarettes definitly do thats why i quit.

RE: To Pee or Not to Pee
 

I hunt alot, I take the whole month of Nov off of work, and hunt all day sunup to sundown, and I pee from the stand everyday, I feel that it doesnt matter, Ive had bucks walk under my stand, and I know they had to tread right through my puddle, with no alarm. Now I've got another twist to add to it, how bout dippin in the stand, anybody ever seen a deer act weird about spittin on the ground..... I chew the Skoal Vanilla, I actually had a deer come up and lick my spit from the bottom of the tree last year, I dont know if it was the vanilla smell or what? Any thoughts??
