BowJoe Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Last year I decided not to use any cover scent on my boots when walking to my stand. Instead, I just use scent eliminator. I don't use any fall blendsor earth scent either, just human scent destroyer. Here's my thinking. If deer have as good of sense of smell as we think, then wouldn't it make them as spooked as all get out if the woods suddenly came alive everywhere with rapidly urinating Coons? I mean wouldn't it be better to just eliminate all smell instead of just covering it up with an even stronger smell? To me, it's like putting newspaper over dog poop. What do you think of my theory?

need2hunt Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Coon Pee or Not Coon Pee? I never bought in to the theory of masking human scent with coon (or other) urine. I just don't see how a couple drops or spraying the bottom of your boots was going to do anything as far as my scent went. I just try to stay scent free.

The_Kat Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Coon Pee or Not Coon Pee? I use skunk musk. It seems to work quite well. Urine is a strong cover scent. It permiates the woods well. I recommend it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mater of fact I've seen deer lick something I sprayed with it after touching it prior to spraying. That sold me on just going as odor free as possible in all aspects of my deer hunting.

ruttinbuc Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Coon Pee or Not Coon Pee? I never had a problem using coon urine. Pretty good cover for up in the tree. Never had a deer cut my track and become spooked by it. With fox scent I have. It depends on what the deer association to man alarms are. You would be surprised how wise they get.

maddhunter Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Coon Pee or Not Coon Pee? Myself I try to stay as scent free as possible also. That is besides rubing cedar branches all over my clothes on the way to my stand and stepping in every fresh cow pile I can find. Nothing more natural than that.

BowJoe Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: Coon Pee or Not Coon Pee? I guess I should have also said that I was talking mainly of public hunting land. If you have 20-30 hunters and they all have coon pee on their boots then that creates a signal, I think, that something at least is wrong and to stay hidden.
