VermontHunter Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Here's some info I have found .. Debunked! 15 Deer Myths Well, a buck might run if it sees any movement associated with your answering the call of nature, but the scent of urine itself isn’t going to have an effect. It’s a natural chemical signal out there in the animal world, and deer are no more alarmed by human urine than by that of does or raccoons. Several studies have involved placing human urine in scrapes, with observers noting that bucks didn’t spook when they returned to the site. Certainly a human’s urine has a slightly different chemical makeup than a deer’s, but evidently it doesn’t contain any of the alarm signals that smells such as human perspiration or skin body odor contain.

Rhino Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Personally I believe it's a matter of the amount of hunting pressure where you're hunting along with what you eat or drink if you choose to let it fly. I've never had a problem urinating off my stand while hunting any of the midwestern states. I have had them spook at times from it here in MS though. Just to be on the safe side I generally won't urinate off my stand hunting these overpressured MS deer, especially during gun season after the deer have adjusted to increased hunter pressure but I won't hesitate to do it while hunting midwestern deer.

dbHunterNY Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 If I had to then sure. I have before. However, I'd prefer to not give any hints that I was or am there at all. It could only help thinking that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Boy Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 My dad peed off his stand in michigan on a bowhunt and then had a doe stand in the wet spot where he peed. lol I pee in my hunting area when I absolutely have to and it hasn't really seemed to affect deer movement.

fly Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I use deer urine to attract deer, not my own. I don't pee near my hunting location unless I have to. Walking away from my stand means creating more noise and that will be worse than scent of human urine in my opinion. Maybe human urine does attract some deer, but then maybe not? Since I'm not sure i just try to avoid it unless I have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobblerroller Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I try not to do it if I can help it but if I have to I usually have a bottle. One October morning, for some reason I didn't have my bottle and I just had to go. Well what do you know? The doe walked out 30 yards away while I was still occupied and couldn't get my gun. I ended up killing her and she never suspected I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
