As Nature Calls

[muzzy]

Just wondering how you guys handle this situation. Not especially number 2 but number 1. I try real hard not to urinate anywhere near my stand but after a few coffees sometimes its unavoidable. Do you carry a empty coffee can, etc?

[cgny27]

this has been discussed in some other threads...and I've been SHOCKED at how guys will just let'er fly right from their stand. here I am coming in like a ninja...barely moving...stressing over sound, movement, scent etc...and these guys are dipping and spitting, #1'ing, eating drinking...LOL!! too funny. and impressive...I think.

whatever I works, I say.

but to answer the question...I'm with you...don't disturb my stand area at all. I did see a container at academy made specifically for that purpose...might need to think about it.

Stand up and let fly.

Let her fly. Do you think a deer can tell the difference in urine from an animal to a human? NO. Do a search and see how many guys on here have peed in scrapes and then have a buck or bucks tear up the scrape.

I let it rip when I feel the need right off my climber. I also hunt public land and haven't seen any deer get upset about it.

Coolest buck I ever caught on camera was working a scrape I'd pee'd on...and it had a dripper over it that I filled with my own pee.

I have peed in scrapes and had deer work them but do I think deer can tell the difference between different urine? HECK YES! Any trapper can tell the difference between coon, fox, bobcat, and coyote urine. If a human can smell the difference, a deer can. Every urine sample is unique...even amoung humans.
Testosterone in a scrape may trigger a reaction. Human scent around a stand may well make a smart deer aware that the spot is being hunted. Human urine just adds to the issue. I always carry a bottle.

I let er fly with no ill effects. I think a deer can distinguish smells of urine but I don't think he rationalize between human urine, rabbit urine, coon urine etc........

[ATI]

I hate to be the one that disagrees, but,,, YES they can...
They can't necessarily tell it's your or human urine, but they CAN tell it's not something they've been smelling often and will avoid it, just like they would other smells that don't belong in their habitat...



Carry a "P!$$ Bottle" I use a large empty gatorade bottle.

Let if fly, no worries. If your wife hunts on is on her time of the month, definitely let her pee. It will bring in the bucks. Seen it with my own eyes.

[Wood Man]

I go when I have to. Ive gone while watching deer and never really seen bad effects from doing it.

I've peed off my stand and had deer at my feeder 5 minutes later. Maybe they can tell the difference, maybe they can't but it doesn't seem to bother them too much

[J Wales]

Last year I was out at about 11 am fixing a feeder and I pee'd about 20 yards away from the feeder (on the opposite side from where my blind was). That evening, I hunted in that blind and had a nice mature buck come out of the woods. He walked up to the spot where I pee'd, took a wiff, turned, and left out of there. Wind direction was good, so I know he didn't smell me.

After that, I carry an empty Gatorade bottle for just in case.

let 'er rip tater chip

[ultralite09]

Growing up hunting, we always hunted out of big box blinds, we had a funnel with a hose connected to it that we dropped to the ground and buried it 2 ft down into a pit of charcoal. Always wondered if it really made that big of a difference.

Now that ive done it multiple times with deer coming in 10-30 minutes afterwards, just let it rip. I have yet to see a deer get scared off from me doing so.
