RE: Who urinates in a Scrape?!
 

Just started urinating in scrapes this year. Was actually told by a more experienced hunter to pee about 50 yards or so away from your stand...walk in it, then walk to your stand. Human urine is more dominant than anything out in the woods and it drives the deer crazy.

I started doing it originally to " ruin" the scrapes I wasn' t hunting. Then, one evening, I was walking out and saw a huge buck standing in the scrape I had attempted to ruin on the way in! I' ve been using this " technique" for a while now and it seems to work for everything except small bucks who seem to be spooked by it from my experiences. Does and bigger bucks like it.

If you want to pi$$ off a big buck pee in his scrape!!! He will make sure you know he is the boss hog!

Just a couple weeks ago I urinated off the tree stand in the morning, later that evening I had two does come in. One of the doe' s spent about five minutes sniffing a pawing the ground right below my stand where I urinated.;)

I' ve read this as well and tried it. Bucks did return to the scrape that night. The one piece of advice I have is don' t do it if you take any medicines. I' m sure no one can tell you what the metabolites of medicines will do to urine odor.

I also found out about this the " hard" way about 10 years ago. Me and my then neighbor used to pull little tricks on each other, like taking tree stand steps and hiding them, etcetera. So one week I figured I would wizz in his mock scrape every day, every chance I could get.

As far as I know, that season he collected his biggest buck, to this date---damn [&:][>:]

Anyway, I' ll only urinate in a scrape if it becomes inactive. If it' s a hot scrape, there' s no need to freshen the baby, the bucks are doing that for you.

wow! i have heard of this before but always thought is was not really worht tring! i am going to give it a try tonight. i like strut-and-ruts idea though...if it ain' t broke don' t fix it! thanks all

I tried it, and if anything, I had more fresh rubs. A 3 point came up to it too, so if anything, it didn' t spook the deer.

LOL

Cuz the anti-doping commitee will kick you out of the competition for unfair advantage over the buck:D

Seriously though, it makes sense.

It may work, but theres just something about standing in the middle of the woods with my pants down peeing on some 200lb bucks scrape that is waiting to gorge me in the bushes.;) No actually i have never tried that.
