Do you urinate off your bow stand?

I never do and will carry a bottle if I'm planning on staying for a long sit. I had a pretty successful bow hunter tell me that piss is piss, that a deer can't tell human piss from animal piss. What is the OB's thoughts on this?

I never do but I've heard from more than one person that
One guy I know says their box stands are rigged with a funnel mounted to the inside wall with a 1" hose that drains to the base of their stands...lol.

Heard the same and decided to test it out a few years ago.
Right before the rut, when the bucks were really starting to work the scrapes pretty good, I took a huge piss right in the middle of a fresh scrape one morning and put a camera on it to see what happened. He came back within hours and reworked the whole scrape. The next morning, I had just drank a whole pot of coffee and pissed all over his scrape again. I thought for sure the strong coffee smell would be too much. Nope. He came back and reworked the whole scrape yet again. Seemed like he got even more aggressive with protecting his territory no matter what the piss smelled like.

I’ve never pissed in a bottle and don’t ever intend to. If me pissin off the side costs me a deer it’s just going to cost me a deer.
Killed my first deer with a bow wearing the same clothes that I baled hay and dieseled a trailer deck with 8 hours before. Killed the 2nd biggest buck in my life at 10 yards standing on the ground sweating my arse off with a giant pinch of Copenhagen in talking on the phone. The biggest buck I ever killed slammed on the brakes when he heard me lean my rifle on the rail of a tripod at 175 yard while he was running full blast across a pipeline. Sometimes they spook from 200 yards, sometimes they walk up into your lap. Chalk it up to the game and enjoy it.

Took a piss off my stand last year after holding it in as long as I could. Less than 5 minutes later I shot the biggest buck of my life within feet of where I pissed. Deer can't tell what species the urine is. Just that something has pissed there recently. I'm it saying treat your stand like a urinal, but pissing off the side every now and then won't ruin your hunt.

I always wondered how much of a gimmick the scent blocker market was

I know deer associate human scent with danger but piss is just water, ammonia, and comes out sterile right? I may start trying it. I'm tired of worrying about empty bottles in my pocket to piss in.

Yes I piss off my stand if I have to piss. I hunt out of an open front climber 100% of the time and on public land and ideally I find a spot above water. I plan to have to take a piss every time I hunt because I drink a big redbull before every hunt. I don't know if the water hides the smell of piss or not, but it does in my head and I stay confident. Walmart used to sell this scent attractant that came in a bottle similar to a shampoo bottle, and the apple smelled like apple shampoo. It said on the bottle to keep it out of deers reach because it didn't taste good to them. Probably shampoo with a different label on it. Anyway, there was one in sweet corn scent and I would take a piss and then immediately pour the sweet corn scent stuff on top of the piss puddle and I've killed deer doing that. I also have a video of a deer feeding about 6 inches from a fresh piss stain I had just put on the tree next to me. The deer was standing almost directly under my climber. So I have no clue what deer think about human piss. I know how to somewhat cover the smell and I try to cover it whenever possible. I don't believe that "piss is piss" though. Humans drink different stuff than just water, whereas animals only drink water. Drink coffee and take a piss and tell me if it smells anything like deer piss....

I've been pausing and smoking and had a buck run up.
Alternately, I've had a Kansas deer sprint away when the wind changed.
Deer are different all over.
The deer up north have good noses but come when you rattle. The deer in Louisiana can't smell for shite but can hear a fake rattle from a mile.

Yea man. I hunt superior national forest in northern Minnesota. When the rut is on. These bucks don't care about anything but a doe. Make noise, piss off your stand. Don't care. Lookin for females.

My buddy’s granddad used to smoke and piss off his stand. Not sure he really cared about killing anything though.

I used to carry water bottle and ziplocs to piss in but once I forgot it and pissed out the window of my box I saw a deer 5 minutes later, I never brought another piss bottle/bag with me again. Every scrape I come across I piss in it.

NicoBlues smoked pot drank whiskey shite off the side of the stand and saw 5 thousand blackbirds.

Huge gimmick. Everything to do with scent control is about making $$$$$. Myth Buster did a segment where they dressed in a gas mask and rubber suit duct taped so that air couldnt get out. They went hide and a tracking dog found them in 15 minutes I think. You cant hide from a deer that uses its nose for survival.
ScentLock/ Scent Blocker doesnt do anything along with sprays. Use the wind. Use cheap scent free soap from the dollar store. you can get a few bars for a little more than a dollar instead of playing 5 bucks for a single bar of soap but thats as far I would go. Wash your clothes with baking soda instead of that washing detergent that claims its scent free.

Deer stand? Yes. Don't bow hunt

I use to use all scent free soaps, detergent, deodorant etc. would keep my clothes in a charcoal lined bag, take them off right after the hunt and put them back in the bag. I was getting busted constantly.
I've learned a lot bow hunting about deer while also realizing I know absolutely nothing about them. One thing is for sure, if I take a shower with my normal body wash, wash my hair with Head & Shoulders and let my wife wash my hunting clothes with the rest of the laundry I have killed my 2 best bucks with a bow and have not been winded. Nobody believes me but I'm confident in it.
