I agree..finding the bottle can be a problem..too much motion..good observation sir..

The pee won't make noise going into plastic but diffently too much motion getting that bottle out of the sack...especially for us 14 foot high guys.

I may forget the bottle too..I hate motion..because in my situation..They can see me before I see them..I'm in a pine tree 100yds looking into a THICKET..I mostly read all day to keep myself still..that has worked for me since I don't like going higher than 14 foot.

I wouldn't go 30 foot for 1000.00 bucks

I masy go 20 foot for 500.00 LOL

When you're climbing up the tree in your stand....DON'T LOOK DOWN! ha!ha!ha!

I did that once..a masn told me I had to get 20 foot..I got about 17..but now I just hunt farther away to compensate for the 14...worked really good. During archery I had a doe 8 yds away and I was only 12 foot up..

I will not pee near my stand. Human urine smells totally different than deer urine. Anyone that cannot figure that one out needs some help.

It may or may not disturb thier routes, but the bottom line is I try to keep the area as natural as possible. I may or may not notice that my dogs pee'd on the carpet tonight, but then again, I might take note. A deer that takes note of anything is a suspicius deer.

It probably doens't mean much to gun hunters, but bow hunters should think twice.

Makes sense Mark...that pro I met told me that to..said deer will advoid suspicious areas

Its just common sense. I have a friend who swears urinating in scrapes is smart, just because he sees 4 and 5 and 6pters come to em in the night on his trail camera. I mean a first or second year deer is like a 5 year old child in thier thinking process.

I have heard the same argument from smokers also.

I smoke, but not in the stand. I pee, but not in the stand. I carry a bottle. It is always in the sidepocket of my pack so it is easy to get to. does it help? well who knows but I know for sure it doesn't hurt.

I have peed on deer trails and sat back to watch a deer's reaction, they smell it but don't seem to care, BUT I didn't see any mature bucks to see their reaction.....

I never used a "P-Bottle" for the past "umteen" years. I have 2 favorite deer stands that I like to use, one is "My Morning Stand" and the other is "My Night Watch". Both stands take advantage of thermal winds and normal wind. I have relieved myself MANY times in the past.

This year, it was a bit different. A pal of mine asked IF he could use my stands when I wasn't there. OK, I said...... He is a fanatic about using a "P-Bottle", so I decided that I would also because of his belief in them (while in HIS stands) and I wanted to be a NICE guy!!!!

Opening Morning.... In my stand...... Got the urge......... Rummaged thru the ruck sack to find bottle...... Kicked over my LAST cup of coffee....... Dropped several items from ruck sack to the ground (15 feet)........ Unzipped and fought through 4 layers of clothing...... Finally found the "item" I was searching for.......... Dribbled a significant amount of warm liquid on underware, thermals, polar fleece, and wind breaker pants........ Finally got everything aligned properly and dispensed........ Making sure that I followed proper protocol to insure that I did not violate "No matter how you shake and dance, the last few drops fall in your pants".......... Noticed that during the procedure droplets appeared on the floor of the stand and a minor amount on the stock of my 30-06 (standing in the corner)..... Went to screw on the top, dropped the cap......... Holding the "open container" in one hand, tried to retrieve the cap which had rolled under the bench.......... Succeeded in spilling about half the contents during this operation........ Gave up in disgust and poured the remainder over the side.............. Killed a "crotch horn" about 17 minutes later............. Incidentally, by this time the "warm liquid" saturating 4 layers had turned ICE COLD..... So much for using a bottle !!!!!
