When nature calls???

[perry f.]

For years I have packed a "p" bottle to my deer stand. This year I started looking at everything I pack in and ask myself is it really needed.  Just wondered what your ideas are on this one?

[Dave Bowers]

Just go I never had a deer run from the smell of pee

[b44mag]

i think it is but my buddys dont
they brush the ground then cover it with the leaves n dirt they dug up
i still take a bottle myself

[whipbow]

Last weekend I had 2 does come under my stand, smelled where I went and then proceed to urinate on top. Then I shot and missed. That scared them.

yup .... go ahead and go 8^) .......... I pee in scrapes all the time ....... I have watched many deer work a scrape within a couple of hours after I freshened it up myself

I drink a bunch of coffee and pee all over the woods. Also pee in scrapes.

Yup, just let it fall.  Sure beats a leaking bottle in your pack.  No, don't ask how I know

[Recurve50 LBS]

If you must pee make sure you pee Traditionally.  

[Paul/KS]

It's no fun when a bottle of raccoon pee cover scent leaks in your pack either...  :rolleyes:

[lpcjon2]

If its #1 just go as mentioned, If #2 go over by your buddy's stand and leave a deposit...LOL

This may be an odd question-- do you think deer react differently to male/female human pee?

Nothing like a 15 foot stream out of a tree stand    

[Gatekeeper]

let'er rip from the stand.

Yes I believe they do . I was talking with one of my female hunter friends and she claims that whenever she pees in the woods she sees deer right in the area . If there's any truth to it I think it's due to the hormones in male/testoerone and female/estrogen . Sure would make one heck of an interesting experiment .... Just my 2 cents

well my bottle is gone no more packing pee for me. never would have thought it would not spook the deer.

[FarmerMarley]

I am brand new to hunting and I have been wondering about this question myself and asking my hunter friends. So far no clear conclusions...

What about other game such as wild pigs?

I guess the saying "relax, pick a spot" might be appropriate for this topic also!

[perry f.]

Maybe I should have called this post," to pee, or not to pee!" lol!

Just freshened up a scrape with some coffee scented pee. Will let you know how it works out.

I'm not a "big buck" hunter, there are just not many local opportrunities here to hunt particular whitetails and I dont have the time needed if they were.  If I were hunting some huge buck, I'd pay close attention to every little detail and definitely pee in a bottle. I'd rather not chance it.
For my normal hunting, I'm not going to be heart broken if a "normal" deer spooks.  If I dont feel like hefting around a bottle, I'll go. If I feel like being super sneaky on a particular day, I'll bring the bottle.
I'd rather go far from my hunting areas though, I like to think leaving as little clues to my being there as possible is best.

[joe ashton]

same deal.  This season I let fly off the stand and killed a buck an hour later and had two deer walk right to the damp ground and nose around (just after shooting their boy friend).  No more nice warm bottles for me.
