Urinate while in tree stand

[stevem]

OK, there are some serious tree stand hunters on this site.  I am not one of them.  Say the target species is deer, bear or elk.  I've peed onto the ground from the stand without apparently alarming the animals I am interested in.  On the other hand, maybe that's why I'm not brings home an animal every sit. I would be interested in knowing if others let it rip, or bring along a Skippy peanut jar.

Yea, I don't worry about it. Go as often as I need to. Lets me stay on stand longer.........

I take a bottle to go in.

Let er rip. Pro tip....leak off of the opposite side of the tree that you climb up.

I've never bothered to conceal my urine while hunting. I've never had any problems coming home with food. I figure the animals smell pee all the time and by the time they sniff my pee they are either shot, I let them pass, or I've moved on to hunt somewhere else anyway.

I also don't have a strict scent control ritual, use ozonics, or any of that. I just go hunt and do my best to keep the wind in my face as much as possible. If you can be where the animals are using the landscape for food or shelter, face the wind, and are generally still and quiet then I'd say you have 98% of the tactical advantages in the bag.

Over many years of hunting, I've watched deer smell human pee deposits, put their nose right down in it.  Never spooked them.  I don't worry about it.

Me too.  I have several deer walk under the stand to sniff at it.
I once had a small buck bed down wind of me for 40 minutes.  He was about 40 yards out. At one point he took a nap, laying down like a dog. I urinated off of the tree and his reaction was to the sound, although a one point he did lift his nose into the wind.  At the time I was smoking a pipe.  Just to experiment, I decided to lite up my pipe to see what he would do.  He just lifted his nose to sniff.

I pee out of the stand and also pee in scrapes. In my experience it keeps them coming back.
In the original post you stated you don't get an animal every sit, I hope that is a mistake or your expectations are to high.

All the time, I've found out the bucks prefer Miller Light urine the best:)

Tote a bottle...wide mouth 

[LookMomNoSights]

Let it rip,  and you will bring home an animal EVERY SIT!

Use the back side of the tree, no worries.

[Smguinnip]

I will climb down and dig a hole at the base of my tree with my hands and pee in it and cover it back up with dirt. done this many times and have bucks appear shortly after. My theory is that they smell urine and fresh dirt and relate that smell with a fresh scrape.

Only when I have to, I don't force it.

Hard to believe that in this day and age people think they need to pee in a bottle or hide the scent. Let it fly, much easier and has zero negatives to hunting.

I once pissed on ground before going up
Tree,, got distracted and stepped in it.  Then a button buck was sniffing the ladder rungs where climbed up,, all on video cept the peeing part

Better on ground than in my boots

I make mock scrapes and pee in them all the time. Once the deer take over, I stop, but it seems to get them interested. For research purposes I have also peed directly onto deer out of the stand before, as well as spit sunflower seeds hulls with no negative reactions.

Been peein in scrapes for decades.   They don't care.

Deer are unpredictable! One may walk up and sniff it without responding while the next one dart off at the first whiff!
Yes I have done it but prefer to drink less coffee when hunting.
