RE: removing the bladder
I've never done that, kept inproperly the urine that was collected will turn quickly and become ineffective in fact, likely could work opposite by spooking game. Urine and scents are a tricky business as they can be very effective but like I mentioned, used improperly and you could blow an opportunity of a lifetime. I've had scents work, but I've also seen scents I put out turn doe inside out when they whiffed. That concern alone keeps me away from scents, urines and I try to go about it as scentless as possible.
