The old timers would stand in the smoke of camp fires, smoke their clothes good, before getting on the stands. Contrary to what many think, cigar, pipe, and cigarette smoke does not spook deer....but human pee will.

DS i agree with alot you said but this statement is not totally true. during the rut, human urine (atleast from males) does not sppok deer. i have pictures from my digital game cam that i sat out last year where i made an artificial scrape and urinated in it. that night the game camera captured 3 different bucks within 15 minutes of each other visiting the scrape and re-freshening it. i believe the testeronein the urine "fires" up the rutting bucks. i'm sure they know it's not from another buck but being during the rut they focus on the testerone smell and re hit the scrape to declare dominance. this is just my theory but here are the pic's of the bucks at the mock scrape just hours after i made it and urinated in it...
