RE: Human Urine?
 

I have read and heard as well that human pee pee does not adversely affect deer.

I don't know what's coming out the end of your junk, but mine sure doesn't smell like sweat to me. Tell you what, set up a ground blind, I'll set up a climber overhead on a hot day and we'll see how long you'll let me "sweat" on ya...;):D

I bet that is what you tell the ladies too!? ;)

I carry a pee bottle and have never and never will pee around my deer stand.

However, I don't think it hurts a thing and I urge everyone else to go ahead and piss around your stands all you want and even take a crap, too. I heard that's all right too. All animals crap and deer can't tell the difference between crap either.

I've personally seen several bucks, including an old experienced 11 pointer, sniff where I peed within the hour and walk off with no alarm whatsoever.

I make sure to look around really well before whipping it out so I don't miss a shot opportunity at a deer that is nearby, but other than that I see no reason to hold it, or bottle it.

I had read debates on this when I first started hunting and was just learning about scent control and deer behavior. I decided to learn first-hand by my own experience. There is no better teacher, and until you've tried it, you'll only be taking somebody else's word for it.

Good luck.
Share what you learn.

Years ago on PBS Michigan their was a show called Practical Sportsman with a host by the name of Fred Trost. I am sure some of you may know or recall this show. Any way he did testing with human pee and bottled deerpee which resulted in no adverse reactions. The reasonbehind it was to say your peeing away your money buying bottled pee. This episode really did nothing to how I view scent or human pee but it was interesting none the less.

I pee in a bottle when I'm in a blind for obvious reasons[:'(]! When out in the woods I don't. Though I also don't use scent loct suits or even sprays, I just hunt the wind and be smart about howI approach/depart my spots. Works for me.

I use to think the same thing until last year when I went whitetail hunting with my grandfather. Against my wishes, my grandfather decided to take a piss 10 yards from our spot. About 20 minutes later we returned to the truck momentarily to warm up, and when we got back to our spot there was deer tracks circling the piss puddle!

I try not to piss in the deer woods, but when i have to- it hasn't seemed to matter. Last year i pissed and it wasn't 15 minutes later i dropped a 161 1/8 8 point. so my opion is go when you got to go!

That prof is full of a different kind of excrement.

Sweat has much higher concentrations of saline and very little urea whereas urine typically has much higher levels of urea as well as many other chemicals and biological waste products that I'm not even gonna mention here. They are entirely different under microscope. If you want, I will send you one of my med school textbooks that has entire sections detailing the chemical make-up of urine and sweat.

Sweat's main purpose is to cool your body off, not to get rid of waste.

The reason you get yellow pit stains in your shirts from sweating is from a combination of the chemicals in your deodorant and the waste products of microbes living in and around your sebaceous glands. Human sweat naturally has no odor, it is the waste products of the microbes I mentioned that give sweat it's odor.


Long story/post short: Urine and sweat are entirely different liquids. Anyone claiming anything different doesn't know any better and definitely shouldn't be teaching a 6th grade biology course let alone a college level course!
