When ya gotta go pee
 

OK your up in that tree. All of a sudden you just know you gotta go pee.
Do you unzip and pee town the tree or fill up an empty water bottle that you brought?

I've been going right out from the stand. I heard it does not effect the hunting at all.

To avoid a deer's nose, first pick your stand site with wind direction in mind. It should be more important than how well you can see and how much concealment you have. If the wind changes direction, move quietly downwind again. If still-hunting, work into the wind or crosswind, never down. Second, leave as little human scent in the area as possible. This means no urinating near your stand, walking about, or leaving garbage lying around (this shouldn't be done anyway, deer notwithstanding).

I just whip it out and go. It doesn't make a diff to them. But it could explain why I had so many does around me this year. ;)I do believe you'll actually spook more game and leave more scent getting up and down the tree to go.
If I had to take a dump though, I would get down, but I'm not the kind of person who gets out of the shower and goes to the toilet to go pee.

when you gotta go, you gotta go

Bobby, have you ever pee'd in a fresh scrape to enhance the scrape? A buck will wind it at 500yds!You use Ammonia to enhance a scrape. What is yourpee composed of, 90% Ammonia!;)

i use to pick up the gatorade wide mouth drink bottle just for this purpose for years. over the last few years i just fire away off the stand. i havent noticed much of a difference in the amount of deer ive seen. why dont you try a season dong it each way and then form a opinion. if anything and your leary you will have confindence from your own experience which i think means more. kinda like picking the color of a fishing lure. if you think it will catch fish it probably will:D

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

I use a bottle. No matter what anyone sez, I mean until deer can talk and tell us the facts - why take the chance?

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

When in doubt whip it out, that`s my motto during gun season. When I`m bow hunting I go in a sports drink bottle that`s empty.

Gotoraid sounds good....I usually drink water but the Gotoraid sounds great and makes a can't miss pee jar. Hey ...someone could paint it camo and patinent as the Hunter's Urinal:)

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

RH, I've teased a many buck by pissin in there scrap, but they don't know if its another buck or a coyote. I really don't think a deer can differentiate between human piss and any other animal piss. If I sat in my stand and didn't see any bucks, I might conclude that it may have an effect, but I've had some nice bucks come right to the tree I'm in and didn't see any reaction other than a sniff or a wiff. I have seen some pretty stupid bucks during the rut in my lifetime and some I could of thrown a brick at them and they would ignore me.
Chuck, make sure you grab the right jug when your thirsty.[X(]

Bobby, if it works for anyone out there, go for it!:)

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

You can buy the spare bladder pouchs that easliy fold up in your pack. When you have to go pee, open upthe pouch and pee,the stuff in the pouch turns your pee into a gel form and throw back in your pack until you get home, then throw out. I'm nopt sure if effects the deer or not, but why take the chance.

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

Since I'm a Lab Tech, I just grab a 24 hour urine collection container from the lab and put that in my pack before I head out to my stand. It is large enough that I can use it all day, and I don't have to worry about mixing up my drink/urine bottles while on stand.

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

I usually go right off the edge of the stand(make sure the wind doesn't blow it back on you[:'(]). I've always continued to see day the rest of the day and this year I shot my biggest buck of the year when he came in downwind 2hrs after I went. He was standing at 12yds. Can they smell it?...Of course. Does it bother them? I really don't think so. I don't think a deer knows what human pee smells like unless one sees you go and then runs right up and takes a big whiff. I guess then they could run around and tell their friends:D:D:D

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

Just whip it out abd go

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

I bring a 5 gallon bucket and hope I don't have to go again.:D

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

I appreciate all the urine advice guys.

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

my grandfather pissed in a fresh scrape one day when we were out hunting. we went back to that scrape the next day and it was obvious that the buck did not like that. the scrape was hit HARD sometime while we were gone. it was if he attempted to paw all of his urine (scent) out of the scrape and replace it with his.

on another note, he told me back in the day, before buck urine and doe estrus was sold in stores. people would take their wives feminine products that were discarded in the trash and place them in a plastic bag. while they were in the woods, they would tie them above scrapes with the strings.

i dunno if this works and i wouldn't wanna try it but he swears it was done back in the day. now if he's right, it would appear as if the deer could smell a female on her menstrual cycle and it would be the same as a doe in heat..regardless of the different species, the bucks would come. maybe the bucks know the difference between human urine and theirs BUT by being in "rut" they aren't scared and see us as competition......JUST A THOUGHT, what do ya'll think???????

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

I've freshened a few scrapes in my day! Killed bucks there too!

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

Cop, when I use to hunt Aucilla WMA back in the late 80's, there was a young lady from Tallahasee that would always shoot the biggest buck in all three huntingseasons. That's what she did and don't care who does'nt believe it, it's the God's truth!

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

have you ever tried it Rebel? lmao

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

I live in ohio and they used to have a hunting show called wild ohio. The DNR did a study where they put out different peoples urine in a feild where deer grazed and it had no affect on the deer at all. The show actually showed some bucks sparing over a spot that had urine on it. They concluded that it had no affect on the deer. I will say it could have A bad/good effect on deer, two years ago I had The nicest ten point I have had come to my stand that came out down wind just after I went onetime and when he got downwind from my piss he made a beeline for my stand and never presented me with shot. Then when he got under my stand and was sniffing, andmud from my boots fell and he spooked around the tree, then came back for another wiff only to walk back behind the stand and leave. So when I gota go I just go.

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

As I said, I've killed 'em over scrapes freshened with human urine!
I believe that MOST times, human urine will attract them, or have NO effect on them at all!
Notice, I said "MOST of the time!" It is ALWAYS best to play the wind, and be as scent free as possible!
Deer are amazing animals! If not, we probably wouldn't prize them so highly!
Sometimes though, I think that we give them a "god-like credit," that is just not true! Again, they do have great survival scences, and anyone that pays no attention to wind, and scent, will not be as successful as they could be! But, I've seen some "how-to shows," that would make you believe that if you touched one leaf, on one tree, all deer would abandon the whole forrest, forever!:D:D:D
So........... relieve yourself!!!!!:D

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

Just let 'er fly! I have had deer under my stand many times while it is still steaming! (okay not steaming but within a half hour of the deed) My experience is that they don't spook by the smell, and it may actually make them curious. I have heard the same thing about spitting while chewing tobacco although I don't do that. Ugh! [:'(]

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

If you are gonna pee in a bottle, thenyoumight as wellfart in a ziplock bag. :D:D:D:D

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

Big 10-4 on that one. The more I hunt the more I've come to believe it. I've made some stupid mistakes and still had deer come in.

As for the original topic, this year I bought a urine bottle kit from Dick's Sporting Goods that came with the bottle and a circular hanger that screwed into the tree. Nice big opening and just the right size bottle. I thought it would be perfect. I realized how wrong I was the first time I tried to use it. The way I layer my clothes means I have to slip it in under the layers to use it. No big deal though since I keep things loose so when I'm sitting things don't dig into my gut. Long story short (no pun intended :)) that bottle gets awfully darn cold while hanging from the tree when the temps drop.Slipping it under those nice warm layers to use it proved futile. ;)

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

so true with the god-like qualities, deer are cautious, and that is about it... The largest deer in my area was killed by a car this year!!! Pretty disappointing to say the least. Although I will admit to being pretty angered at the resolve of the whitetail!

Lastly, when I have to pee, I pee in the areas which dont afford me iny shooting lanes...

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

If you pee on the tree you are on, that's nasty. Piss away from the tree you are on. Or just pee in a bottle.

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

i pee in a ziploc or just climb down...but i wanted to take this time to ask y'all to stop leaving them in the woods, people like me have to go in and take stands down that have been up past the hunts and i always find pee bottles and i for one freak, there is nothing nastier then an old rank pee bottle...i would appreciate it a bunch and i'm sure the other rangers/WMA staff would ap-preciate it too.

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

Unzip and let er' rip right out the side of the stand:)

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

go head and let it go .maybe write your name in the snow?

RE: When ya gotta go pee
 

We have no snow but I peed 4 times yesterday in a 12 hour sitting. It is very loud when it hits palm branches from 12 feet up. 78 degrees yesterday LOL I only had one water and 3 tangerines. I saw 3 coons , 1 possum , 19 different species of birds including a wild turkey. Saw nothing else. Gone back in 15 min.
C u guys
