I visted Abe Lincoln's home in Springfield, Ill a couple of years ago. One of the things I found odd was the outhouse in his back yard. There were three wooden barrells modified into poopers. I'm wondering if I could build something like this in my shooting house? The poop would just fall out the bottom and I never have to leave my perch. I could still look out the windows and possibly take a shot all while purging the pipes.

 

Jeff, depends on circumstances.......I try to expell all I can before I hit the woods then hold it ifin I gotta go! 1 time I was in my stand (other club members called it the eagles nest 50-60 ft. high) and my stomach started churning.....ohhhhh no way I was gonna make it down sooooooo :moonyou get the idea....Didn't stay long and just climbed down....:letsdrink:letsdrink:letsdrink

 

my uncle's buddy was up in his climber one time, and didn't wanna get down cause it was comin into that perfect time in the morning.. so instead he pulls out a walmart bag that he packs with him everytime he climbs, straddles his climber, then :moon ( u get the idea). ties up the bag and drops it down. 10 minutes later he sees 3 bucks walk out, one nice 8 point. slams him to the ground!

 

i have a buddy that may chime in on this thread. he had to go and couldnt make it farther than 15yards from his stand. he thought the day was ruined but he decided to stay and ended up seeing 5(i think) deer, including a buck.. on public land!

 

I know one of our newer members has a GREAT story about this.

I hope he'll share.

 

This isn't a deer hunting story, but I was in my bass boat out of Destin when I just had to go. I tied a rope to the front seat pedistal and hungmy behindover the front of the boat. Occasionally a wave would wash my behind. (It was summer, and the water was warm, so no harm). My buddy said I was chumming!

Thank goodness I didn't fall in!

 

jspooney (11/29/2009)Seriously, we've all had it happen. The woods are perfect. Wind is just right. Any moment and you'll have deer everywhere and then...you gotta poop. Do you:

1. Hold it in?
2. Climb down and ruin the hunt?
3. Get creative?

Reason I ask is because I got really creative and laughed so hard but saw a ton of deer. Probably not a story you want me to type here.

What do you do?

Come on spooney...spill your beans (no pun intended)oke

 

I don't know about you butI can't always avoid the call of the wild soI just cut it loose Howard and pack up and head for home.

 

you think getting a sh!t attack when you're up in the stand is bad?? try getting a sh!t attack when you're duck hunting.. soaking wet neoprene waders with this bitter oklahoma cold and ice 1/2 an inch thick on the water will make for a horrible experience.. i won't go into details, but as I stated before I have horrible luck.. If it was raining gorgeous women, I'd get hit in the forehead by a huge dick...

My Boy Scout days always taught me to "Be Prepared" so I always bring a couple of empty 1 gallon ziplocs with me. (special note, next time I will take the 2.5 gallon size) I stood up and dropped my several layers of camo. Did the Summit squatt and let her rip. I was totally blind on it so I hoped my aim was good enough. After all was completed, the paperwork began with a box of wet ones. Unfortunately for me, I was accurate in my prediction that I was in a good spot and deer began to file into the little oak clearing Iwas in. So...pants to my ankles, not finished with the paperwork, bag of poop in my seat, I must now finish the task incognito without any fast movements or sounds. Everything went as planned till I raealized that my pants were too far down my legs to pull them up. A little actobatics and some gymnest moves were sufficient to get the job done. Deer never spooked and when I finally sat down I had 9 deer feeding around me. Four of them decided to be down 40 yards from my tree. What a great day to be in the woods.

Take-away? Ziplocks and wet wipes are a must!

 

I prefer the TK and Mike Porto pooper, (i.e. old spray painted paint can), "Pop the Top and Let it Drop"!

Bucky.......this is what we call "Putting out a weed line."

 

Wait if its during primetime. If stalking dig a "cat hole"

 

You sound about like me, it never hits until after I make it to the woods. It goes from nothin, to dobbin at the hole, in the amount of time it takes me to open my truck door, once I have parked.

Just don't be like that guy at my old deer camp, he was wearing overalls and didn't make sure they were out of the way before he let loose. He dropped a log right inside thetop, back of his overalls.

 

I climb down from my tree, sprint 800 yards thru the woods to my brother's stand and let it rip! By golly, if I'm not kill'en anything then neither is he!

 

I'm a ziplock man myself ! Gallon size for poop and the quart sandwich are great for pp. Nothing says fun like tossin a warm, soft ziplock in your buddy's lap when he picks you up from your stand!

 

I pop a couple of Imodium AD and am locked up for 24 hrs. Learned this trick when flying on cargo aircraft and didn't want to use the bucket.

 

im gonna invent some mossy oak depends for you guys!!!! oke we used to use the ol coffee can with a toilet paper roll soaked in alcohol in our shooting houses. needless to say i was in a tight spot after multiple crown and sevens and a poker game that lasted till 3am. destroyed one of those empty folgers cans and put it in the back of my buddies gator. he opened it up 3 days later and projectile vomited all over the side of his truck. :sick i hope he doesnt read this site, because we never told him who it was!!!:shedevil:shedevil

 

Last year I was hunting in Arkansas( as we do every year), got to the stand a little after 1 in the afternoon. At about 3 it hit me like a ton of bricks. After a few minutes I decided to climb down and head for the truck. I didn't get 20 ft from my stand and time was up. Popped a swat right there. I thought the afternoon hunt was ruined. But I climbed back up and an hour before dark I shot the biggest 8 pt I've ever seen. Not that I would intentionally do it again, but it worked out well that time.

This year I was peeing in a Gatorade bottle and it filled up so I just continued over the side of the stand and I still saw plenty of deer. So I'm not sure they really care.

 

I really don't think they can tell the difference between human waste and other animal waste. I quit trying to hold it or pee in a bottle. I arch my back, avoid the hand rail and see how far I can make the stream go now.Of course I'm not up doing it during prime time either.I still see deer regularly.

P.S. If you catch me doing this, don't take a pic and show the wifey or g/f. I don't want anyone mad at me if their significant other leaves them, after seeing the pic. I can get friction on a pickle jar.

Hadn't heard that one in a while.... Funny.

This has been one funny thread... I had tears in my eyes from laughing.

 

I remember one afternoon in a shooting house with 3 layers of clothing on...... after eating BBQ sausage dogs for 2 days....... and those steps were a long ways down...... and Ill leave it at that!

:reallycrying :doh

That tells us nothing!

 

I make a bee line for the cabin....and hope I make it!!!!:doh

 

Still hard to believe that many hunters think that if you go near your stand it will spook all the deer away.
