I am a strong believer in Scent Control, but everytime I hunt from my treestand, I let it fly if need be. I have even when it calls gone number 2 within 20 yards of my stand, I have had deer(inlcuding nice bucks) just minutes later walk by and stand where I did my business and they are never the wiser that there is a threat 20ft above them.

I have just recently started letting it fly, though i try to take care of that before i go hunting. I'm not convinced it make a big difference. B.O. and/or perfumey scents are the ones that scare deer.

i let her fly. never had a deer to spook on me yet.

I try avoid the need whenever possible. I read on one site, I think it was SC Game and Fish that deer have virtually no reaction to human urine. I can't think of a time when I was actually able to test this while in the tree. I do know that once I forgot to take care of business back at the truck before I put my boots on so I stopped while walking down the logging road on the way in and marked a tree. On the way out I saw three doe standing right around that tree. Two had alread passed it and one was right beside it. They didn't seem disturbed at all. They lingered for a few minutes then walked away.

O'Brother, sound like something kinky in the locker room? I'm out of here!

I've urinated in scrapes to see what would happen and have come back the next day to see fresh deer sign. Doesn't seem to bother them. Gets a little noisy from the stands when there are dry leaves on the ground, though.

I carry a two liter sprite bottle, don't know why but I use it pretty religously, seems like I'm in the minority on this one.

I just go from the stand. Theres no point in climbing down and spooking any deer. It cant hurt to pee from your stand, the deer either wont care, or like someone else said, just investigate, which is even better. Also, some companies sell a special bottle to pee into. Either pee into an empty water bottle or pee off the stand, no point in spending money to take a leak.

i say let it fly

I usually go before I get into a tree stand so haven't had the urge too often. My brother who has shot multiple bow deer every year for the last 40 years always wizzes out of the stand. He knows that it doesn't bother them. He has even had numerous deer come over to check it out with no adverse reaction. I have no doubt that this is better than climbing out of the stand if you intend to continue hunting.
