Deer pee? how well does this work?
 

do all scents work and where do i put them?

Sometimes scents work and sometimes they will spook deer. Similar to deer calls it depends on how wary the deer are. The more the area is hunted then the less likely lures such as scent or calls will work.

I am not into deer scent much since I hunt downwind of where the deer should be and they wouldn't likely even smell it. If they did it might lure them down wind of my location where they could pick up my scent as well. I have had better luck using calls to lure a deer into shooting range.

If ruts in full swing I use tinks 69 with great success.

With a deer's ultra sensitive olfactory abilities it is silly to believe that the deer can be fooled by urine that has set in a bottle for weeks or months fermenting.
They may be somewhat curious about the odd smell but I've seen the bottled pee spook them more often than not.

I've always wondered about that..

Ive always used tinks.. it's pretty hit and miss.. most of the time I see no bucks worrying about my scent lines and once in a while it will bring one in.. Where I hunt now is full of does peeing everywhere in the field... just gonna sit back and let them bring the bucks to me this year.

In a lot of the south there are 60+ deer per sq mile, about 30 does. Does urinate at least 6 - 8 times a day so there is over 200 urine spots in that sq mile each day. Do you think just because you sprinkle an ounce or so out in the woods it is going to make a difference?

Huh really I've used good ol" Walmart doe pee and have had does come in to check out the "new girl".During the rut Tinks rut smoke sticks have worked great for me,down side a rutted out buck is about the toughest meat you can try and cook.

We're I am from think nathen is from to. He had a hunting lodge that boarded my uncle's property. After he sold is company he was offering $100 bottle of his doe in heat if it had certain number on it. My uncle had a bottle he would opens the led and set it on a lot's he killed 25 Vicksburg that one bottle, before it all evaporated.

In all my years of hunting whitetails I've only seen one attractant scent work right before my eyes and work on a regular basis. Sure, sometimes the bucks would completely ignore it but I never saw one spook because of it. Often they would seek out the source by working back and forth along the breeze like a bird dog looking for a covey.

I'm talking about the Buc Rut scent wafers from Hunters Specialites.

No, I don't work for HS or have any interest in helping them sell anything. Just passing on what I've experienced.

Also ii know of two people in west Virginia that uses elk in heat lure. They say that the biggest bucks come to it.

I can see that working given the natural curiosity of whitetails. I've tried some pretty offbeat stuff and been pleasantly surprised with what happened.

Deer corn works the best, I am getting a crap load of does and even a fawn on my trail camera this week! and they are eating around 4-5pm

not everyone can bait. Yes corn or baiting is the best to bring does. Marginal at bringing in mature bucks.

I can honestly say I have only used one attractant that has worked. Golden Estrus by Wildlife Research, and then ONLY when the rut has started. Not when the bucks are making scrapes/rubs, but when they are actively chasing does.

As far as other scents/pee etc goes, I think ones best bet is to leave em at home, but that's just opinion. It also depends on hunting pressure. Relaxed deer will be more prone to come in and check out a new scent vs. those that are pursued hard. Deer pee is nothing special and I don't believe it's gonna make or break the deal.

You want to freak a bunch of deer out just give them something that smells really great but is out of place in their environment.

I have taken a gunny sack full of old apples I picked up at a market and beat them to pieces inside the sack with a ball bat. Then tie that sack full of apples up in a tree out of reach of the deer.
In a northern Wyoming creek bottom the apples are totally out of place but they smell great. The whitetails hang around the tree looking for the source ,but it isn't baiting because they can't get to the apples to eat them.

I use tricks like this to photograph deer or to take visitors out just to see a lot of deer. Never shot anything over an apple sack.
That's just one of the little tricks I use.

From what I've experienced personally it hasn't hurt my hunting. I usually pull a "drag rag" behind me when walking in / out of my stand location. The deer can probably still smell human scent, but it can't hurt to try and cover it somewhat.

I have also had bucks walk right up to a scent wick with doe estous and smell it. (on several occasions). So I wouldn't say they don't work. Why else would a rutting buck go straight to the wick.

All in all however, the market really does have these products overrated. They may work to some degree, but they are not a necessity.

Hunting downwind is always your best bet for not getting busted.

A bottle of buck urine or doe estrous may help. But I wouldn't go overboard investing a bunch of money in all these scent and scent eliminator products. I use the cheap Code Red Estrous when I do use scent & get a large bottle for like 5 bucks.

When making mock scrapes, I have actually pee'd in them instead of using deer urine.
And it works. Deer started using the very scrapes I pee'd in. May not believe me, but it is true. I have no reason to lie or spread false info.

This is just my personal opinion and experience....

I was reading something some where the other day and they was talking about deer coming to human urine

I hunted with a guy many years ago who swore that deer exhibited curiosity about his pee when he peed right off his stand. He said the same thing about his tobacco juice spit. I figured he was full of it but he did kill plenty of deer.
