So your in a tree for hours and you gotta go. You don't want to get down because of the noise and you don't want to go off the side because of the scent. What can you do?
 
Whether you're one to worry about deer smelling pee or not, I'd rather not climb down a tree into a spot where I've peed.

An empty Gatorade bottle makes a good urinal with a cap. Then when you get down out of the tree pour it out, take the emptied bottle back out of the woods with you and toss it in the trash.
 
I used to use a bottle but now i just let it go. If the deer don't see you pee, how do they know it's human and not something else. If someone is really worried about scent, get a catheter and a bag it while you sit.

Deer lack of concern for human (and other predator) urine has always perplexed me. Deer have a better nose than a bloodhound and can easily identify the tracks/scent of individual people. So why do they not care about human urine? I have no idea. But they don't. I've had a doe come running at the sound of my pee hitting dry leaves from my stand perch above, then sniff the pee and begin eating acorns that were soaked in my still steaming pee. I've used my own urine to create mock scrapes for decades, with exceptional results. I've seen trail-camera pictures of coyotes peeing on a salt block and then deer licking the block just minutes afterwards. Go figure.

that is what I have always done. carry bottle in pack.
 
What about taking a crap in a Gatorade bottle. I like to meet the Houdini that can do that. I remember clearly on here years ago somebody said they did it. But he had a mess to deal with.

If you're talking peeing, let it fly. Not only does human urine NOT scare deer (I've been using it to create mock scrapes for decades), the sound of pee hitting dry leaves can actually attract deer. I've killed several that came running to the sound.

I have had the same experience. I have pee from a tree while watcing deer 150 yards out in a field and had them come running to 30 yards looking
 
Hey man urine luck. Say the last 2 words. Don't start peeing in your cover scent bottle. You've gone way to far at that point. But just go when called to and don't worry if a little bit trickles on your steps right at last blast. It'll dry and the deer don't care.
