azpackhorse Report post Posted December 2, 2004 The only reactions I have had to using any of that stuff have been from my dog who mawls me when I get home from hunting and my wife who makes me put my hunting clothes in the shed. Honestly, I am sure it works...........for someone but not me. I have had better reations with sounds than scents, like soft grunts and estrous bleats and just plain ol' keep'n the wind in your face. Besides, the smell of that crap makes me gag uncontrollably. My bronco still reeks from an archery elk hunt I had in 2002..........I swear my buddy hid one of those dang wafers in there somewhere but he won't fess up to it!

Coozdeer Report post Posted December 2, 2004 Hunting w/ deer urine is very effective but not what most hunters expect. The instructions and info on the back of the bottle or wafer packs makes it seem like the bucks will be running to you trying to hump you. If you do your homework, place the wafers or urine in a high traffic doe area or next to a scrape during the rut and patiently wait you might see a buck or two checking the area. If you go out and dump some urine on the ground somewhere or wear the wafers on your belt loop expecting some buck to track your down you will probably see nothing.

azpackhorse Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Like I said cooz, I am sure it works to an extent but for me personally it is more about matching wits with an animal and not the kill. I can just see the headlines "Southwest archery hunter humped to death by deer" LOL. I used the rest of the doe pee I had as a practical joke, it is now under my buddy's desk at work...............oops, he reads this forum too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coozdeer Report post Posted December 3, 2004 I hear you AZpackhorse, My wife hates that stuff. I've used the cow in heat and doe in heat scent wafers and that stench never leaves your car or in my case my mothers couch. I have always wanted to try dumping some of that doe in heat urine on a decoys rump and video tape the bucks reaction. I think a lot of hunters think about doing these little experiments but never get around to doing it. This year I am going to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
