How do you, um, take care of business, on the stand?

I mean, the deer gotta smell it, right? or do they? Do you bring a bottle? How do you guys handle the call of nature during a sit?

 

Like Nike, just do it. In all seriousness, I try to plan the #2 stuff and most sits I pee before and won't have to for the 3 or less hours that I am sitting.(most of my hunts are after work) BUT If I gotta crap, I crap and if I gotta pee, I pee. I just try not to pee on my tree stand steps or crap on my trail in.

 

Let er fly

 

I do like Ted Nugent says... Drink lots of apple juice before you get in your stand and when you have to pee, just let it fly...LOL...:D

Seriously though, I just pee off of my stand. The deer don't know what type of animal it came from and are often times curious about it more than they will be scared of it.

 

I just go before I head out and hold it like mad when I'm in the stand. We don't usually do full day sits, so I'm only in my stand for four hours max.

 

Hey JayB22, check your PM's.

 

pee in a bottle...#2 hold it

 

I'll take a leek right off the stand if I can't hold it.

 

I go when I need to go too.

 

Unzip, and make sure I don't pee on my boots!!!!!

 

Yep me too. I have a Gatorade bottle. Plus if I know that I am sitting all day, Imodium AD is a god send.

 

Ive heard from some pros that human pee does not scare deer. So i just pee off my stand and ive never scared a deer off bc of pee.

 

Its true IMO from years of personal experience. I unzip and let her fly.....just not into the wind. Oh and it helps quiet it down if you can aim at a tree closeby rather than bombing into the leaves.

 

haha. good idea

 

This is what I've been told too, so I'll pee off stand. I've had no problems with it scaring off deer.

 

I just go with the wind! Now a number 2 I am out of there for sure. Next year I think I will dump on dukemichaels public stand.

 

just watch the pull-up rope if the wind is blowing

 

Depends

 

Good luck with that "let er fly" mentality when you're a chick. Crawling in and out of the stand isn't an option so us ladies pretty much have to hold it til the hunt is over. And when you're sitting for 5-7 hours on a bear bait, that can be a really lonnnnnng time!

 

great point.... i tried to get my fav lil hunting partner the "attachment" for the pee jug, Bass Pro didnt carry it.



we sat last yr for 13hrs and she and i held it. TROOPER! now she just goes before we head out

i have a pedalite bottle, or just hold it

#2 gotta wait till i get home or in the woods farrrrrrrrrrrrrr away from my stand
