I piss out the door or window. I've shot deer less than 15 minutes after doing so.

I like a nice swivel chair, a battery charger, snacks, drinks and binoculars.

I am always worried every time I have to piss while on stand, that a nice buck is going to choose this moment to pass by and I have the wrong gun in my hand. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a deer while taking care of my business.

Heater
Thermocell
Paper towels
Put windows if it doesn't have any
Carpet
Chair that fits. Office chairs are comfy but take up a lot of space.
Nails to hang stuff.

Couple of years ago I got in a bad way and had to take a crap one evening.

I was still trying to get my clothes re-situated when I killed a 9 point I'd been watching for...came out right under the stand.

I mean mine smells like some kind of horrible mixture of coffee and used whiskey and I've seen deer sniff it and go on about their business. If it did affect them, I still wouldn't piss in a bottle. Aint gonna happen.

I've read studies saying human piss does not effect deer.


its more about noise and movement than the actual piss imo. especially if you have deer on the field

I piss on the same scrape every single time I go to my lease


the most important must-have for a box stand is cell service. I'm not sitting in a box all day without being able to use a phone to waste the time.

I have a firm cell phone off policy.

And a firm rule against drinking in a deer stand.

So I usually bring a good book, a thermos of coffee, a sandwich, and (if rifle hunting) a pack of cigarettes.



Deer up north all seem leery of smells...but all respond to calls and rattles.

Deer in the south run from calls and rattles, but seem almost curious about smoke.

Yourself and a weapon/ammo. I've done 6 month deployments with less gear than some of y'all take to the stand

Curtains or some type of darker window covering to help hide your silhouette. you can use pvc or electrical conduit for cheap curtain rods.

i use old laundry detergent bottles for piss jugs. i too have killed deer shortly after whizzing off the stand, but i've never seen a mature buck approach from downwind after doing so.

something to put against the walls to dampen the sound of movement, or a gun barrel accidentally hitting the side, etc.

and if you want to be really lazy, school bus mirrors to mount outside so you can view movement behind you without turning around.

they aren't going to approach from downwind whether you pissed or not. That's how they got mature.
