Sounds like poor motor skills to me..LOL on the other hand..I carefully unzip the pack which is hanging at a perfect angle to manipulate stuff from the bag..reach in ..while maintaining a watch for deer. AH,,theres the bottle..carefully unscrew cap sticking it in my front pocket..ok..unzip pants pull out penis..observe to make sure pee is going in the bottle..finished..except a few drops ..totally normal..Screw on cap..carefully put back in pack..

Done deal...{ -;

Pee bottle :-)

Hmmmmmmmm..... By Motor Skills, Chuck7, you're right....... I do NOT have the skills necessary to build a motorized device to accomplish this delicate maneuver !!!!!! LOL !!!!

Sorry fellow...I'm a special education teacher...Motor skills means to be able to manipulate small objects with your fingers. { -;

Back to the subject...for us few who hunt pressured WMAs and see about 2 bucks the entire year..if that....we need all the help we can get..I would see a pee bottle as an aid ..not a hinderance.

A few years ago I applied { Yes I said applied} to hunt on a 700.00 north Florida lease. The first question they ask was if I used a pee bottle ..I said no..I was turned down. They said we only want serious hunters.

PEE AWAY..I have never used a bottle. Your not doing it over & over in the same spot. I just scrape the ground down to dirt pee & cover it. Shot many deer and I dont believe it makes a difference

A coupla semi-related situations within this "thread theme".....

First, when using the tree stand, it is an "all day affair" (pre-dawn to dark) most of the time. AND, I am NOT a very good "sitter", even with seeing critters through out the sit. Therefore, I pack accordingly to try and keep the boredom and "antsy-ness" out of the equation. Coffee, water, lunch, munchies, book/magazine, radio (with ear plug) for entertainment, music, and weather, kindle (maybe), GPS, Walkman, and etc. Have even thought about a laptop with Air Card, but have not gone that far YET!!!!!

My stand platform is good sized (4'x6') with 1/2 side walls to hide movement. Any thoughts and/or comments on items to prevent boredom?

Secondly, and I NEVER have read on ANY forum a discussion on the "other bodily function"......... Some people can "hold it" all day, others can't..... I'm in the "can't" category. I have NEVER satisfied this condition while still in the stand. I just get down and either go back to Camp (about a mile away) or go an area we all call "Hershey Squirts". This area is pretty well saturated with "land mines" and therefore is NOT used for any hunting purposes. This area is about 1/2 mile from my stand, in the opposite direction from Camp.

So......what do others do? If on public land, "spoiling" the hunting of others is NOT a nice thing to do. Not to mention the vulnerability of being subject to a "public exposure" violation. (Come to think of it, has anyone ever gotten or heard of any hunter getting cited for either #1 or #2 while in the woods).

Fortunately, we hunt exclusively on private land, but even then one could probably be cited for public urination and/or defecation. In our case the warden/DEC/SP/ individual would have to walk up a rather steep mountain for about 2 miles (NO roads) and would really have to be a dedicated individual. He would have to be the same person that would be collecting DNA data from "rabbit pellets" so he could cite the deer!!!

#1
I read my New testament to beat boredom
it adds expectation to me seeing it builds faith...every 4 chapters is about 1 hour worth of sitting..I aim to read one of the 4 gospels for any all day sit..

#2. I had a friend stop on the way to hunting..walk a few yds about 4:00AM and got cited for taking a dump..

In the hunting woods I seriously doubt if anyone would ever be cited. If one is seeing tons of deer I doubt if he would take this thread serious..If one had struck out a few years and hunts in a highly pressured area..yeah..he's going to try and get every advantage possible.

I hunt on private land and have never had an issue with peeing from my stand. My freezer is full right now, so I've been experimenting. The buck in this video http://picasaweb.google.com/Nighthun...38361976311170 walks a couple feet away from where I took a dump an hour before. Didn't seem to care one bit. Granted, he's not a big, mature buck.

Nice video..now check out this video of a HNI member on the first day on an Illinois hunt..There are a few bucks on here under his stand but note later..when the 130 inch plus walks by..how he sniffs the air much differently than the younger bucks before him...have patience he is at the END of the video..very nice buck..acts totallly different....at the very end this hunter chooses to shoot a coyote instead....beats me LOL
