To pee or not to pee?

[Fid]

I'm planning on spending all day in the stand tomorrow bowhunting. What are your urine strategies? Seriously, do you pee in a bottle or does it really matter? Thanks.

I don't hunt from a stand, but I pee wherever I'm standing when the need arises.

I.P. Freely.

I'm in the camp that deer do not associate human urine with danger, if they can even distinguish it from other urine. I've been busted a gajillion times by deer smelling me, but never by a deer smelling wee.

The smart alecks say that the molecules in urine that distinguish it as human are the first to break down.
All the deer can smell is ammonia. Let her fly.

While coyote hunting, I've taken a leak only to come back and find deer walking right through where I let it fly.

I don't think they care.

^^It's true. There are several movie theaters and parks he's not allowed to return to.^^

Cool thread. This will save me some messes and frustration as a 16.9oz empty water bottle often fills up very fast and is not quite enough for the average tree stand leak.

I pee wherever, including from the stand. Hasn't seem to matter. Had a buddy once who walked way out in a grass field away from his stand to pee then got back in it. A herd of does came across the field a few minutes later and one of the does layed down and rolled in his pee. They never seemed bothered. I have had deer jump 10 ft backwards though when they walk up to a stick that I handles and stuck in the ground as a yardage marker. They definitely smelled human on that stick.

You gotta hang from the harness and drink it man. It's the only sure way to keep the sasquatch from tracking you.
