Ok guys, normally I take a bottle of water with me during bow season to keep cool more so than warm. Do any of you carry something warm to the stand while bow hunting? I cant take coffee because I think it would effect my shot and I am very sure the deer would wind it in a heart beat. Anyone have any suggestions on something to take other than just hot/warm water? Last thing I want to do is drink ice water in 20 degree weather.

If Im in a stand on a 25* morning and there happens to be a thermos with hot coffee or hot chocolate in it with me, I could care less if a deer smells it. if coffee bothers them then my stinking azz has probably already been busted. grin

I stopped by walmart this morning to look at thermos containers and found this one. I think that might work pretty well. I am thinking of going with some green tea or maybe some pine needle tea.

I just did for the first time last weekend. I carried a thermos of coffee. And I killed a deer! I am sure there is some risk of deer smelling it but I have deer smelling me anyway even without coffee. You just can't beat a deer's nose.

I got a thermos that has a flip open top so there is no cup to worry about.

This is what I bought.

I don't think a deer would spook at smelling coffee. If a deer spooked at every strange smell he gets in the woods he would dig a hole, get in it, and never come out. I think one would give pause, get another good whiff of whatever, and if it cannot determine if its a danger, life will go on as usual. I think some of this stuff is overhtinking it. Take a warm drink with you.

You know we all hear about so and so killed a big buck with a cigarette in his mouth and Redman in his cheek. I don't think those stories are luck, I think it just didn't matter.

Sounds like a plan to me. Hot tea it is! Id be afraid coffee would effect my shot.

I have this one. It's ridiculous how long it keeps stuff hot.

Like the others said, I wouldn't worry about the scent of your drink messing up your hunt. Also, I think the cold and excitement would affect my shot much more than caffeine would!

I personally believe that some scents people worry about are attractive to deer. That's why if I carry food or drink with me its something fruity or nutty. For example, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, mixed nuts, natural fruit juice, etc. I don't always dip when hunting but when I do I make sure it's a berry blend.

I carry a thermos of coffee on cold mornings and have never had a deer spook from it. If he smells the coffee, he smells you, same as a thermacell.


Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!

I wouldn't worry about the deer smelling whatever drink you have, cause as TC already pointed out, if they are smelling your drink, they're already smelling you. I rarely drink or eat anything on stand. Drinking makes me have to pee, and that requires a good deal of movement, so i don't drink much. This year, i'm after a hoss, so i'll probably spend longer sits and i'll probably eat lunch and drink a little water. Coffee also can act like a laxitive, so think about that.

Yet another reason I avoid it when hunting!

I carry a big stainless thermos and hang it right on a tree limb. Never had a prob. I have had to set my cup down to shoot a deer though, but it was with a rifle.

The way i look at it, the more comfortable you are, the longer you will sit and enjoy your hunt.

When you plan on sitting in a stand and it's in the teens or 20's, a couple cups of hot coffee makes staying longer a lot easier to do.

I've taken coffee hunting before, but mainly stick to Dr. Peppers and Mt. Dews.
