Todays observation

There is nothing louder than a grown man peeing into an empty milk jug.

That is all.

You didn’t put it back in the fridge, did you?

I just snorted lol – nice one!

That got me too – had to choke back a laugh trying to remain quiet. Well played!

My next question, would it be louder being the guy peeing in the jug, or is it louder to the guy holding the jug?

I don’t know to laugh or cry??? My dad’s hearing aids crapped out and the tv is full throttle on the volume. I’m sitting almost 600 yrds from the house and when the wind dies down, I hear the criminal news network echoeing in the woods

Some people just have no ability to do things quietly

If the source hung closer to the jug it would be quieter…

Those McDonalds milk bottles aren’t that big to begin with. But noise is noise I guess.

Years ago on the farm we used to get grease in a five gallon tin bucket, if you think a milk jug is loud you dont have a clue, especially if the tin bucket once devoid of its cargo was hanging by its handle on a nail, in the far end of the barn and you were ten years old and afraid to go outside in the dark, wind, and snow while doing chores, the entire barn echoed and amplified any and all sounds.
Yep, sounded like Niagara falls channeled into a single stream at two hundred pounds of pressure.

Well, lift the jug so the source is in the opening of the jug. It plugs the hole and quiets the sound. Don’t forget to leave a slight opening for air to escape.

Sheldon is right I hung a tin pail in the deer stand and it is far louder than a milk jug…..lol

Seriously? You’re in the barn. Pee in the gutter like the cows do.

That just means your prostate is still good. Wait til you get older.

Just don’t put your apple pie batch in milk jugs too…or family Thanksgiving could get awkward.

Ron, we would have if the cows or hogs were not in there where the trough was, at ten years old I knew better than to get into an area with critters that out weighed me by either a couple of hundred pounds to over a thousand pounds.
I just as well tell on myself some more, dad was not real happy when he caught my kid brother and I whizzing in the bucket from the hay loft trying intentionally to make it louder.
That distance was about twelve to fifteen feet depending on how high the hay was stacked.
We had to hear about polluting the cattle feed, the oats, hay, and so on, shoot, we were kids for crying out loud ! It did make us think a bit when dad asked us how we would like it if a cow peed on our food lol.

That’s when it is called whizzing in Morse code

I too am needlessly paranoid about peeing in the deer woods. I was in desperate need for a container a few years ago and found a plastic mayonnaise jar in the recycling. I’m on my 3rd year of using that thing. I get two good pees in it, it’s quiet and it seals off great. Not ashamed to admit I stuffed it inside my jacket one cold day in the stand as a temporary warmer. Otherwise it goes in my backpack and keeps my candy bars and snacks from freezing.

Weird thing to be paranoid about LOL. I pee right off the stand and even in scrapes. After a while it doesnt smell like human anymore and there are tons of guys who claim it gets the bucks going. I cannot say its ever done anything for me.

Yeah – While I’m not exactly practicing what I’m preaching, I agree, Musky. And I’ve read several articles that say the same thing. I guess I’m more about trying to not upset the equation in any way – try my best to make it seem that there’s been no outside disturbance. But that’s a lost cause too… it’s almost superstition. Its dumb, I admit it.

We all have our quirks. Some quirkier than others.

I know lots of guys including myself that will never pee in the woods anywhere near there stand. Myself included, I thought everyone used a Gatorade bottle.

I pee all over the woods were I hunt. I pee right from my tree stand 5 times a day. And in multiple spots on my way in and out.
We shoot big bucks every year and 4 to 6 doe. I think you guys get to wrapped up in noise and smells. I’ve watched many bucks vist scra0es that have been peed on by a person

Back when I deer hunted a lot, I would drop submarines right off the edge of my stand. Never had an issue. In fact, I’ve had doe’s come right up and sniff it.

LOL that’s a big aggressive. I’d worry about smelling it or stepping it in if it was that close to my stand.

I had to do that this evening in the rain, ground stalking not in a tree. but then soon realized I took my tp out when I cleaned my pack out yesterday and didn’t re put it in there. Made for a tough wipe when I was in a wet swamp. Then to top it off a few minutes later I kicked out the buck I’ve been waiting for and watched him run across the swamp and cross the river. Damn if I only had real tp, my night could be a whole lot crappier

I drop submarines where they’re supposed to go – in the water. I walk down to the creek by my stand. You don’t realize the value of what the water in your toilet does to the odor by basically covering it ’til you send it on its way. When it’s just exposed to the open air, you realize how bad it really stinks. I don’t even care about the deer smelling it, I don’t want to smell or see it.
