my grandfather pissed in a fresh scrape one day when we were out hunting. we went back to that scrape the next day and it was obvious that the buck did not like that. the scrape was hit HARD sometime while we were gone. it was if he attempted to paw all of his urine (scent) out of the scrape and replace it with his.

on another note, he told me back in the day, before buck urine and doe estrus was sold in stores. people would take their wives feminine products that were discarded in the trash and place them in a plastic bag. while they were in the woods, they would tie them above scrapes with the strings.

i dunno if this works and i wouldn't wanna try it but he swears it was done back in the day. now if he's right, it would appear as if the deer could smell a female on her menstrual cycle and it would be the same as a doe in heat..regardless of the different species, the bucks would come. maybe the bucks know the difference between human urine and theirs BUT by being in "rut" they aren't scared and see us as competition......JUST A THOUGHT, what do ya'll think???????
