I limit myself to bottled water when in the field. Bring full ones in & bring "full" ones out. I try to be careful about my out of place scent with cover scents so I try to go the step further to do my best to eliminate the pee scent, too. Farting? Now that's a whole different story. I try to avoid the thin plastic bottles of water though as they tend to make cracking sound when they crush as you hold or open/close them.

I thought this a little suprising though. I had posted asking about fresh paint smell on another new ladder stand I made and painted a few days before opening shotgun season. Most said let it breath and get rid of the smell and use it next year. Well that was kinda my intention - place it in the woods and let it sit until next season. Well come opening morning, I found myself on the "fresh paint" ladder stand. A buck came right in at first light and never saw me or gave any indication of smelling me. He quickly succumbed to a fatal case of "lead poisoning". Smells can be weird I guess.

Just do it, I try to go away from where im hunting if i gotta pee, but if it cant wait i ler er fly.
I remember an old Nugent video where he joked about drinking nothing but apple juice for weeks before the season and then peeing out of your stand. Then all the deer will smell apples and come running and while they are licking up your pee you whack em. It was kinda funny when i saw it.

The neighbor has stands right on my property line, so I usually try to pee under his stands if he is not there.

Human pee is not a scent deer smell all that often. I pee right out of my tree and I have had deer under my tree sniffing my pee more then once! Any pee can make a deer curious! I have read that human pee will have little if any effect on deer!

What about crap?
I got to my stand last monday morning and had a horrible cramp. Couldn't hold it. It was still dark. I made it as far as I could away from my stand... about 13 yards and had to take care of business... I walked back to my stand and it was just breaking light. About 2 minutes later I had a doe come right in about 10 yards from the "pile". She didn't seem nervous at all. About an hour later I shot a nice 4 pointer 2 feet from it!

My old man shot the biggest deer of his life right after taking a crap! He was smoking a cigarette at the time also! Doing everything wrong and up walks this giant 10 point and just stares at my old man. Go figure!
