Self Contained

I have always been the type of hunter that has a bottle in my stand for body fluid. This year I have been letting it go out the window to see if it makes a difference. What is your preference and experiences?

Whichever route I go, I don't hold it in and torture myself.

I got this 9-point opening Sunday morning about 9:30 after letting it loose out the front window of the stand a few times that morning. Box stand, elevated about 5 feet. He's no old bruiser for sure but not a youngster, either. He came within 15 yards of the stand. This is by no means a definitive study, just my experience.

Been using a funnel with a hose run through a hole in the floor since Noah's Ark touched ground. Never even gave it a second thought.......Shot deer every year!

Noahs ark man you been around a long time, lol. I know some guys that just let it go everywhere and some like myself that have contained it. But this year I am joining the freedom group.

If my bottle is full I'll piss out of blind, never seemed to bother deer much that I could tell.

I always use a bottle. No reason to chance it. An empty milk jug holds a lot of pee.

I bury a 5 gal jug full of pea gravel with the sides cut with a 3/4 hoze and a funnel. I drink a lot of beer in the stand.

Some of you guys think way too hard about it. If I need to go I go. If there are deer out in front of me I generally can hold it. Whizzing in a bottle is further than I care to go.

Same here. That hole is just so dang small! Who like whizz in' on their hands when they miss!

Open the door and let it go!!!! Screw that bottle.

I had a 3 gallon peanut oil container in my stand at the first of the year. I took my 3 yr old daughter one day and she had to drop the deuce so I cut the top off of it for her. Been draining the main vein out the door since and can't tell but it makes me uncomfortable.

Then you get it on your hands when you climb down don't you?
I have made mock scrapes and peed in them and the deer started using them

no I've got a balcony ladder goes the other way

This.
