I think  moving around  and sound while you are  pissing  is the only thing that would spook a deer the woods is full of animal piss and crap from every living thing that lives there . What is one more piss sent going to do unless you do it as a deer is, looking in your dirction or hears it .

This is interesting topic, I just read an article on it about a month ago. I'll sum it up quick.

It basically said that yes it smells different to the deer and they relate it to some kind of predator, BUT, they don't know it's a human scent. .......

Interesting, have read just the opposite from Wildlife Biologist and Chemist! Stated that deer vs human urine have only very subtle differences.

I read an article written by a supposed  whitetail geniuses once. Can not remember name of guy or artical. It was addressing passing in the woods. He pointed out that deer small many different orders in the woods including urine from every animal . He said unless a deer sees a human or other animal take a leak and then walks over to smell it they have no clue as to what animal left that smell. They associate  smells with food or danger. Not with individual  animals. 

       Loggers see big deer a lot so don't farmers when on there tractors. This is because in those the deer do not associate the smells or sounds from as a danger. The deer have never been shot at or harassed in any way when those smells are present. Now throw a coyote  in there and is will cause them to at least be on alert and get nervous because there are not many deer that haven't been chased by a coyote.

         As for passing from your stand. Every humans urine has a different oder. No real way for the deer to know if that one particular scent poses a danger. However the smell enough of these types of orders and are shot at chased or other wise harassed when these orders are present they will think danger first. 

         As Four seasons said if you are hunting older mature deer then pissing out of your stand or even 40 yards away will affect your hunt. The older ones have been shot at and harassed many times over the years. And human urine oder has been present on many of those occasions. They don't actually think human when the oder hits them but they do think and know danger. Yes many mock scrapes are started by guys pissing in them.  How ever the biggest oldest bucks and 3rd does will not bee seen at those scrapes.

        Really depends on what animal you are hunting. Hunt any deer it doesn't really matter hunt mature deer you bet it matters.
