Will it work?
I was reading one of my hunting books last night and came across an interesting tactic the author used to lure in whitetails, specifically bucks. What he would do is fill a squirt bottle up with doe urine...find a rather thick area where deer visited often, and covered a 20 x 50 yard square with the urine, covering everything from the forest floor to brush and the base of some trees. He would do this right before dark. The next morning he would climb up in his preset treestand 80-100 yards away upwind before daylight. He would also cover himself with the same urine he used to cover the 20 x 50 area with. I guess what would happen is that a buck would come threw and smell the doe at night, which the author said is when most of the rutting activity takes place, and stay in the area looking for the doe until the next morning...when the buck realises it is to light for him to be roaming around the woods, he heads upwind, towards the authors stand giving him a shot. The author said that he never worries about if he's going to see a deer, hes just worried about if he can make the shot when the deer presents itself. Now i dont know what to think of this...i was just wondering if anyone had tried, heard, or has any input on this tactic?

Anything will work from time to time. Through experience, I don't have much faith in urines, particular doe urines, I'd rather rely on woodsmanship, hunting the funnels and a good deer call.

I don't know. I had a friend use a similar tactic and claimed he seen more bucks then ever. The guy isn't really a story teller but I believe his positive results that day had more to do with the rut then with his "newly invented tactic".
