I often ask my wife to go hunting with me. She always tells me she would like to, but she worries about the need to use the restroom. Being a guy, I know we can usually just urinate into a bottle. What should I recommend telling my girlfriend? How do girls urinate when they are in a treestand? \- Patrick from West Virginia

Well if she spends time outdoors then, and depending on the location of your tree stand. Have her get out of the stand and move off in a direction were deer aren't likely to come from a reasonable distance. That's what I do, and I shot a deer last year. I'm sure a ton of other people also do that. Helps to leak in a puddle or hole or something to minimize it.

I am not sure that deer associate the smell of human urine with danger. I would be more concerned with the noise it would make falling from a treestand. That said, climbing down to answer the call of nature should not be a problem. It would just be bad timing if it happened to scare any deer nearby.

Just curious, who are you taking hunting your wife, or girlfriend? LOL

[vork23]

a company (not sure who) makes a portable urinal for females that is designed for the outdoors i have seen them i cabelas and catologs and been contemplating getting it for my wife because she always has to go after being in the stand for 45 minutes to an hour she is going to get it before deer season this year hopefully.

Mesarich, right on target,deer have no logic, they smell urine but don't translate it to humans being in the woods.lol I smell a marlboro must be a cowboy in the woods.

Hold IT!

Just make sure you don't bring them at same time, that could get a little awkward and dangerous lol

Sure hope Mrs Patrick does not read you question. You'll have a hard time explaining the urinating girlfriend. ;-D
later,

Most people who post on here have a pretty good sense of humor, and after I read your question I couldn't wait to read the answers! Thanks for the laughs, guys! I'm almost suprised they answered the actual question instead of just hacking on you for the wife/girlfriend mistake!
