Well, I haven't done it yet, but I might. My question is very simple: what do you do when you have to pee? Do you carry an empty bottle with you? Or do you just water the tree from the treestand? Would the smell drive the deer away?
Thanks,
Max
This may start trouble but I have started mock scrapes by being the first stag to pee in it. i pee off the stand had deer walk right through it and nose around for awhile , some pay no attention. Killed a buck in Canada after peeing off the same stand for three days..
I do the same thing, I pee off the stand and in scrapes. Have killed bucks eating acorns where I just peed and had them freshen scrapes after watering them also.
I pee off my stand also..:and enjoy doing it,it's short term entertainment :thumbsup:
Pee is Pee... After about a half hour, it all smells like ammonia

LOL. Are you going for distance or accuracy? :
I'll usually just let it fly. But if I am hunting near a scrape I will usually get down to stretch my legs and freshen the scrape.
Heck, I've even managed to freshen two or three near by scrapes in one go. If anyone ever saw me they would probably laugh their rear off. Especially when I'm trying to get some on the licking branch. I bet the bucks are wandering how another buck could pull that off? :biglaugh:
I point downwind and let it rip.
A great friend of mine used to take a thermos of coffee and a sandwich into his treestand. When the coffee was done he had a urinal available.
One day he left it on the counter and his wife dumped it into the dishwater.
It was never allowed in the house after that.
Seriously - I got the story early one morning when we were heading out before dawn and I asked him why he took the coffee pot onto the back porch to fill his thermos.
Personally, I climb down, walk off a distance (still-hunting a couple hundred yards), pee, stump-shoot, have lunch, then go back to the stand.
Thank you, everybody :biglaugh:
That was all interesting information. It might save me some extra weight to bring around... and avoid some confusion with the Gatorade I normally take along... :rolleyes:
Pee off stand.
I use to pee off the stand. No worry about spooking deer. . . HOWEVER the problem I have is smaller bucks and does come and smell it, often resulting in them either busting me or minimally getting nervous as they smell my entrance to the tree. I would rather NO deer even be curious of my presence.
Solution: A heavy duty rubber hot water bottle from W***mart for under $10.

I often pee off the stand. If they smell the pee, aren't they already smelling me? I have had deer come along afterward that were not noticeably affected. The only real problem comes when the deer comes along during the act. A real bummer.
I used to haul in a pee bottle, but after having forgot it one day and being forced to pee from the stand, I don't bother. Like as has been stated, pee is pee. I don't even think twice about anymore, besides making a thorough look around to make sure I don't get busted while in the evacuation process...
The only time peeing out of the stand can get you in trouble is if you are set up with the wind in your face and you have 20 mph winds. Otherwise it is not a problem.
Back to to wind and wizz away.

I could have so much fun with this one but I won't lol ...yes Gatorade bottles are perfect and they are quiet as plastic bottles go
I always have let it rip! I have seen no adverse reactions either. Ask Barry Wensel what he does? He's killed more big bucks than probably anyone on here.
Check the wind and pee off the stand! Don't forget to check the wind........
Pee off the stand.
I can do all day sits in a blind but can't do it from a stand. However I can sit to around 11:00am and then walk to a new stand and hunt from 11:45am to dark. Just getting down for about 45 minutes makes the difference for me so that's what I do during the rut.
what about number 2's?
just pee on the ground they pay very little if any attention to it, did have a group of 3 bucks come under my tree about 10 yrs ago and one was licking it off the leaves..used to be paranoid about peeing out of tree but see just as many deer doing it so quit worrying about it.
I don't totally think pee is pee, since animals use it to mark territory and also to determine the estrus state of a doe, etc. There are extras in the pee that tell who you are and your status. My dog is very interested in keeping track of my pee.
But.... I also don't think that in most cases it is a huge issue. There are scents all over the woods. New ones, old ones. The smell of pee means something WAS there but likely is not any longer.
I do as I feel at the moment.
I don't know if they care or not. My dad swears he had a small buck lip-curl one time. I told him he may want to start carrying a handgun or something when not in a tree... lol
In my younger years I used to pee in a plastic bottle that I brought along for that purpose.
Then on one particularly cold all day Canadian white tail hunt I filled my bottle and had no choice but to pee off the stand.
Not long after I watched deer I didn't want to shoot or couldn't shoot pass right by a few times on either side and completely ignore it.
From that day on I never used a pee bottle to hunt moose, caribou, or bears from a ground blind nor deer from a tree stand.
My personal conclusion is that it makes absolutely no difference at all.
I pee in scrapes and from the stand. Two weeks ago I made a mock scrape under a perfect overhanging branch about 12 yards from my stand. I "freshen" the scrape up whenever I get out of the stand and I have to empty the bladder. So far while on stand, I saw three bucks stop and smell the scrape, and I have a two more bucks on the trail cam that stopped at the scrape during nighttime.
Off the stand.
Praise God for ability to do that standing up! Amen!?

Do that near your buddy's stand. ;)

I used to pee in scrapes but I got tired of changing pants after letting it run down my legs first.....When in Rome, do as the Romans do! :laughing:

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!
At one public land west of Inwood Iowa, a couple of guys were peeing various bottles. They would toss their pee bottles in a ravine on the way back to the car. After a couple of years there dozen of them. I found them when I saw one of them toss something from the edge of the woods. Yes, I wrote down the license number and called the game warden. I believe in leave no trace hunting on all public ground, so, quite often, I pee on my boots. That's my story and I am sticking to it.
