No I do not. On really Cold days or if I'm really dragging I bring a YooHoo. A little Chocolate is a good pick me up /warm up drink.

Do You Take Coffee to the Stand?

For me I don't think the smell of the coffee would bother the deer as much as the smell from the affect the coffee has on me. BTW, Sam's Club has Dude Wipes by the case now!

Sometimes when I'm in the box. Usually try to be done 30 mins before I walk in so I can pee before. Hate having the coffee pee urge in the stand. I'm not worried about the scent of coffee only the smell of my rear end and boots

I carry a thermos of boiling water and make instant coffee, hot chocolate, and to cook my freezed dried meals. I've killed numerous deer while having my morning cup, I don't worry about the scent, I've had deer come in when I'm at 15' for bow hunting, and at 30' for mz, and gun.
Just finished it off. Great investment

I haven't read any of the replies before responding. My personal experience over decades of hunting is it doesn't matter much what you have with you in the stand or on the stand. If they smell your coffee, they smell your human scent.
100% but…
If you take Pepto before walking out the door, you can focus on the hunt instead of projectile bowel movement at base of a tree.
I'll take a thermos of coffee with me on cold days, but it stays in the truck until I get back. I also take an Imodium the night before opening morning. 
It's mostly about movement for me. I don't take anything to eat or drink to the stand with me.(stand, as in tree stand, not shooting house) If I can't make it a few hours without food to hunt then I have other issues.

I've got an old, made in Nashville, Aladdin Stanley Thermos. Belonged to my great grandparents. I'd assume leave the gun before I left that thing on a morning hunt.

Absolutely gotta have it. Sipping coffee on a cold morning from the stand is a must for me.

Yes, ML and rifle
No, archery
I'm more grumpy during archery for a lot of reasons. It's hotter, no coffees and I suck at bow hunting

Here is the resulting story. My thanks to UTGrad for one of the greatest deer hunting story quotes I've ever published!

No because I don't want to climb down every 30 minutes to urinate and I am not a big fan of going in a bottle.
