Dog and Pee scent Myths

Some interesting pics on my SD card this morning. They say Dogs are a no-no and that pee around your tree stand is bad, combine the two and well.....

This is my dog Reacher checking out my bait pile and leaving a calling card.

Goes to show...Deer are truly inquisitive and ANY smell is likely to draw them in.

unless you have been eating asparagus ;)

Wife has always wondered why I pee on any wolf or Coyote scat I find.

I just tell her, I am sending them a Pee-mail.

For those here old enough to remember Michigan Outdoors with Fred Trost, he did a piece on outing the scent industry. He kept his own urine and experimented with it in hunting context. He said urine is urine, that the makers of deer scents were basically fraud. The scent industry players launched lawsuits, which they won. The show was cancelled and Trost paid dearly....

More then a few Hunting Magazines have covered the subject, and they all say the same thing. Pee is pee. Unless your wife is pregnant then hers is better, and she can fill up your jug faster.

I don't think it was for pointing out pee is pee, maybe he may have phrased it poorly.

Yes I watched him from Northern Alberta for years.

I have a bear bait about 50 ft from a food plot. Every animal in the bush visits that site on a nearly daily basis.

Once i read it somewhere that someone uses urea(fertilizer with high Ni content) in scrapes,with the same results as with deer pee.
Do not know ,also never tried-but makes sense.

I think your on to something (Mikepal). Now everyone forget about baiting deer. Just eat a lot of asparagus/acorns /apples/beets/corn and soybeans and drink apple juice of your choice. When your ready to attract some deer just piss all over the place near you stand and shooting lanes. Good luck and post your success LOL

I've heard stories of guys peeing off their tree stand and then a few minutes later a buck shows up. Personally I'll pee on a scrape or make my own. The only time I do anything different is if I'm hunting in a blind and then I pee in a bottle.

The sound of the pee hitting the leafs and ground also help.

Remember back when we were told that we needed to take water-tight bottles to our stands to pee into? I long ago stopped fretting about peeing at my hunting spots.
