Many moons ago when I hunted on a particular piece of property, I used to park my vehicle in the same spot each time I hunted. What the first thing you do when you get out of your vehicle? You takea leak.

I did this everytime throughout the season. One day when I got there there was HUGE scrape and all the brush and trees were all ripped to crap!

I doubt they smelled my truck.


Since then I have urinated in countless scrapes and man-made scrapes almost always to find them ripped up afterwards. A mature buck is going to go ballistic if he thinks an unknown buck is in his territory. My guess is they can tell male vs female urine easily.

Another time gun hunting(I used to pee in zip loc bags) I had a full bag sitting on my stand. I accidentally nocked it off and watched in horror as the bag spilled all over the branches as it crashed down to the ground! It wasn't long afterwards that a 150" 10 point came towards me from directly down wind. UUUMM no I didn't wait until he stuck his nose in the bag before I shot him just to see if it was actually the human urine that attracted him.

Can I prove it. nope. But I've witnessed it many times. Thats good enough for me.
