Of all the things we worry about, we never worry about our BREATH. If I was a gambling man, I would bet that's the smell that animals smell more than anything. Even if you gargle and brush like a fanatic, in a short time it will smell bad to an animal.

I'm gonna have to disagree with most of ya.
Yes, if your hunting around a septic lagoon, go ahead.
I've heard all of the "its sterile", "human scent goes away" and so on.
I don't know about you guys but when I pee at work in a urinal, I can smell whatever I had to eat or drink previously. Its that distinctive odor that the deer will notice to be foreign in their territory.
If I can smell it, then I know that a deers nose will be full of it.
It may not make that much difference at rifle ranges, but when bow hunting, I take every precaution.

The pees were way ahead, but I fear the worm has turned and the don't pees have the upper hand.

I pee when I feel the need unless I can hold it until
I'm done with my hunt. The smell may not scare the deer but I don't need anything else to ruin my chances! However if it is really cold outside, there nothing like a fresh warm bottle of pi$$ to make a nice hand warmer!

I have been looking at a few different forums, peeing and smoking in the stand forums. Alot of people say it doesnt bother them and some say it does. I have peed from my stand and I have smoked from my stand and still tag out every year. I try not to do these things as much as possible but sometimes you just can't help it. I also have had to put out my cigarrette to shoot a buck at 30 yards so I dont know that these things really bother them too much. This time of year I think they have other things on their minds.

I use a bottle for urine. If I have to take a dump I'll try to find a rabbit hole or skunk hole and go in it, then cover it with dirt and leaves. I'm sure the critter in the hole doesn't appreciate it.
