Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I'm curious to what extent you guys take with going #2 when nature calls when your in stand. Find a cozy spot on a log or next to a tree whenever...wherever? Carry a bag or something with you(for the nuts crazy scent guys)? I mean sometimes a guy can hold it and just wait till you get home, but there are just times when you just have to go. I'm not asking for any details, but just really if you do and do you think it matters. I don't think the deer equate a deuce as a threat or danger, so I don't think it matters. But what do you guys say? Let's try and keep this G rated so the mods don't get mad. K?

It's only happend to me once in 18 years of hunting. Thank God I was hunting on the ground.......I barely got my bibs out of the way in time.[X(] I shot a good doe there the next morning.

I just sit on a log and let her go. Happens to me at least once a season.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
nature calls almost every time I get out in the woods. I always go to a place where I'm not hunting and take care of it. Then return to the stand.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I make sure to take care of any business before leaving for the woods. Once there i dont eat much so i dont have to worry about a second round while still in the woods.

This method works well but is not entirely perfect, once i walked the 1.5 miles back down the mountain and back to camp cause it was way too cold and on another occasion i left a couple flannel sleeves in the leaves. on a side note, i wish i had the cash to afford flannel TP all the time :)

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
Last season I had the urge to "drop the kids off at the pool" while hunting. I could not wait, so I took care of business about 20 yards from where I was sitting. A buck walked by within 2 hours of this happening and did not seem spooked at all.

man you jsut got to let 'er rip. I once was fishing in canada and i had one hit me....me and a buddy had to paddle to a small island, and i got 'er done just in time. Looked around and all that was on the island was rocks fish bones and two pine trees. Lets just say i went home short one pair of tighty whities. IF i had a choice ill pass up a hunting opertunity to drop off a good load anyday.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I can't always just "go on demand." I always carry a small roll of TP with me for just such an emergency and am very thankful several times each season that's it's with me. Even though it might not spook deer, I'm not so sure and I try to take care of business away from where I'm hunting.

Put in a dip before you go in the woods. Works every time.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
When I gun hunt I often eat an MRE for lunch - it's amazing what a warm meal does for the spirits. In the MRE is a small pack of "army issue" sandpaper .... I mean toilet paper. I save them and there's always one in my fanny pack.

On a humorous note, I remember one of my first years hunting when nature called. It was 4 degrees out with a windchill of something like 14 below ... and I had on an old set of "farmer brown billy bobs" as we called them - one piece longjohns - the kind with the little trap door in the back.....

Problem was, the button had busted off, and rather than simply putting another button on I had sewed the backdoor shut so that it didn't buch up on me. I had to strip down to bare skin ..... wow that was cold.

I was done in record time (10 seconds I think) ... still makes me shiver just thinking about it.

Kimber most people dont realize that MRE's stop you up good! i think the average person doesnt know what an mre is anyway.. but i hear ya.. one of those babys and yoru good for almost the whole weekend.

i always cary tp with me just like 1/4 of a roll. because if that aint enough then SHAME ON ME!!!

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
last year i got caught on the stand once when i had to take a leak and there were 2 forks wrestling about 20 yards away from me...i never thought i would want deer to go away so bad in my life. as they were leaving i see 2 does coming towards my stand about 400 yds away...i got down, took a leak, got back up and they didnt see or smell me...i shot the doe right under my stand

last week i had to take a deuce out goose hunting...i came back with one sock

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
Last year I had it hit me two days in a row. The first day I came out of the woods with on less sleeve. I wore the same shirt the next day. Needless to say I now have a sleeveless shirt.

I always try to let 'the boy's' swim with the fishes. I usually have a creek near by.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I never want to do have to do that and have only done it a handful of times in more than 35 years most recently last weekend when I had no choice but to climb down and take care of it. I dug a hole next to a log with a forked stick and had to cut my undies off for use after and covered it all up.

dpv 10-14-2004 04:21 PM

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I always carry some paper, and I dig a hole and bury my poop when I'm done. I'll whiz from my stand. have killed deer that came up afterwards, but the poops gotta be burried.

Don't keep it G rated on our account. We're simply asked to do a job that obviously needs done because there are many minors not to mention decent people on these boards. Don't type what you wouldn't want your own youth exposed to.

In the rare times it happened to me....I like the above, dig a hole and then cover it. I agree that I don't think deer or any other animal for that matters deciphers what "droppings" belong to which critter.

Too funny.:D

This is one of the funniest threads I have read in a long time.

My worst was when a I had Outback's blooming onion the night before. I was duck hunting with a friend (now x-friend) and had to just lean over the side of the boat. I had the trolling motor to hold on to. Lucky for me I had some paper towels with. Lucky for the dog that we didn't get anything that day.:D Unlucky for my friend he was down wind.

i carry paper. one of my buddies carrys gallon sized zip lock bags and paper. he never leaves his stand.....

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
well unfortanatly I have had to deal with this problem one time. Me and a buddy were out hunting and I had drank some sort of snapple fruit drink that didnt agree with me. I was about 25 foot up a tree and there was no way I was gonna make it down. pulled coveralls and everything to ankles and out of the way. took off my shirt and did what i had to in my shirt l that was laying on my foot climber. had a ziplock bag in my fanny pack put shirt in that and threw it out tree...:)
funnyest part off it was when we got back to the house my bud said he was about 200 yards from me in a tree. he apparently observed some off this through his biniculars couse he asked me what in the heck i got nakid inmy tree for?...:) it was like 20 degrees that day. defanatly something I would love to forget but never will.

I was about 25 foot up a tree and there was no way I was gonna make it down.
and i thought i was the only one who had gone from the stand:)

i hope you left your safety belt harness on

i killed a nice, 118" 8pt, with my pants and underwear around my knees while doing the dirty deed, this was at 11 in the morning and the first deer i saw that day, never give up even if you have to give in:D:D:D

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I have only done it once during rifle season and there was a foot of snow no visible logs and I had on baggy white coverals, lets just say when I was done my coverals were not regulation white anymore. so from that point on I never eat anything that is going to have to come out in any kind of a hurry the day before a hunt and I make sure I have a double deuce before I leave for a hunt. ( the truck ride home was the worst):D:D:D:(

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
Ditto on the spicy food the night before! Done the usuall thing in the morn before left for hunting site, but in the stand 15 min and the walk in must have got it going so back down and to a creek with a log hanging over it. Well just bout time the clean up was done (yep had paper ) I look about 20 yards in front of me and there stands a coyote watching. Talk about getting the bibs up fast and back to the tree. When I got in the stand I looked to where he was and he was gone, but looked toward the creek and the thing was ankle deep in water slowly walking toward a suprise! 1 sniff and it bolted up the bank and ran through the woods quick.

One of the best and funniest things that has happened while hunting.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
Pretty hilarious thread. I guess I'm lucky. I've never had to take a deuce while in the woods. Sounds to good to be true huh?

I wanted to try and make it look PC right off the bat, but I thought the board needed a funny thread to break up everything.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I find a log away from my stand and get cozy. Well, not to cozy. I make it short and sweet. If I have to go bad enough to not wait it's a pretty quick deed.

Oh yeah, Watch out for poison ivy.;)

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
Well, unfortunately, it has happened to me several times. I usually try to get as far away from my stand as possible, and then bury it.

A couple of years ago, I couldn't make it very far. A couple of hours later, I heard a deer blow. As I looked, I saw a doe waving bye with her tail.

KimberRuger 10-15-2004 09:21 AM

Adams ?

Short I understand .... but "sweet" ?

Nevermind, I do't really want to know .....

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I had to go one morning. I walked to where I thought it would be safe. After I took care of business I hunted some more. My buddy sat in my stand that night. Of course he shot a little doe. Since it was early he field dressed and drug out all by himself. When I got to the shed that night to see his deer I smelled something. YUP He drug his deer right through it.
I did not help skin that night.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
Had to let one fly twice in the last 3 years right off the stand because I could not fight it anymore. The old man climber's foot rest is perfect for turning around and sitting on to let one go if you must. Always carry a little toilet paper in my pack. That lesson cost me a T shirt the first time.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
My father in law always has to drop a duece in the woods. He cant make it back 150 yrds to the house. We built a half... outhouse with a roof and three side that come up about 3 feet. Not only have 2 different people killed deer out of it we have three deer trails combining 20 feet away. I have a tree stand about 100 yrds away on a two track and usually see 2 or 3 deer each season checking it out. Maybe that's where I should hang a stand..Can't believe I just said that...What a ..... stand that would be.. I gotta go....

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
I have a 45 minute drive to the closet farm so usually my inerds are good and relaxed by the time I get to the toen where I hunt and make it a habit to stop buy the local gas station to do my deed before arriving at the farm.

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
It's a given.I think about going in the woods and I have to drop a deuce,everytime!I pack a roll of tp,not a whole roll but an almost empty one that has about two or three more jobs left on it.Fletten it out and put it in my shirt pocket,better than life insurance:DRon

BTW, I always have a roll of biodegradible TP in the backpack.......just in case!

RE: Taking a "deuce" in the woods while hunting.
 
This is gross but I always use a garbage bag and dump into it and tie it up. Well once, I was up the tree dumped but missed the bag. I shoot the bow better than I aim my pooper. :D Luckily nothing on me but hugging the tree on the way down was tough. Anyway, stayed up and got a doe at about ten+- yards that night. Didn't matter that time.

Moderators, can I say pooper here?

One time I was hunting all mourning holding back the erge,When I cant take it no longer I started to drop my drawers I hear something coming looking up I see 10 or 12 turkeys working their way up the hill with beads of sweat on my forehead and gut rolling I watched them for 10 min. when they stepped in the only clearing I went to pull my bow back and the old for every action there’s equal but opposite reaction thing came to play it was the 3rd try before I got my bow back and let the arrow fly my pants hit the ground before my bow and I threw it. Oh I got the turkey

Man whatever you do, do NOT try to do the dump if you are wearing a one piece snow-mobile style hunting get up.... with a hood.
I know a guy who while deer hunting with a whole camp of gun hunters took a dump in his own hood... LOL oh man... all day when they met up to put on drives and such, he kept saying... you guys smell that?
you guys smell that?
Later back at the cabin he went to hang up his hunting suit on a hook and made the nasty discovery in his hood. LOL man did we laugh.

I always carry TP with me in my day pack, but i've never had to go in teh woods. my dad is a timber buyer and he does it all the time..I did once when i was on a float trip on a small river up north. stopped on an island...even wiped with leaves..they like disintegrated...took a shower right away when i got home.
