Anybody pee in scrapes?

[David McLendon]

I pee'd in one once after almost ten days just to tell him to K.M.A. since I was out of hunting time.

human urine has no faeramones in it so it doesnt matter, its just peee.

So this means that I can leave the Attends at home? Just kidding.  Years ago a compound hunter complained to the game warden that I was scaring all the deer out of the woods because I did not wear camo and I told him that I peed in a scrape.  This fello put his camo in a plastic bag and then sprayed fox pee in the bag to store it in his car all week long.  The stench was really over powering, he never seemed to get a shot at any deer.

I have made mock scrapes and peed in it. Not sure if they ever checked it out though. I seen some prints in the scrape, but didn't see the dirt scraped up at all. Mabey they were just curious.

arrow30, if humans(females)don't have faeramones in their urine then why am I more attracted to my wife during her rut.

Yes I do pee in scrapes. Have never put a trail camera up to montior it but have seen them re-worked after peeing in them.

I had a scrape once that I peed in every time I went by it. By the end of the rut it was eight feet long. I didn't  have a digital camera at the time but did take some pics of it with my 60" Groves  in it. No matter when I sat the stand I never saw a buck. I didn't have a trail cam at that time so didn't get any pics in the dark hours. Would have been fun to see what was going on.

I have been peeing in scrapes for as long as I can remember. I used to make fake scrapes to attract hunters away from where I wanted to hunt. However, the joke was on me. The scrapes I made and my assumption that my urine would keep them away backfired. Live and learn, I guess.

You mean you guys are using the trail cam to take pictures of yourselves peeing?? Geez! What's next?

I woulda said, "Gee whiz."

I have had game cameras on scrapes for the last 5 years. With hundreds of photo's even during the rut the BIG boys always show up after midnight. I have lots of young deer 1 to 3 years old hit them during the day.

Urine is sterile (especially male urine...no secondary genital contact as in females) ....generally the same set of hormones are common across mammals, assuming that you get your diet in line (natural)...why not.

Female urine and other secretions work.....don't ask       particularly during ovulation.

I have done it before and 3 of us peed in a scrape when we were younger and my father in law killed a 135" 8 pt coming to check it that evening.

[hedgetree]

Thats how I start all my mock scrapes and the bucks seem to take it over. Yes it works well.

[BILL LEU]

Never in a scrape but out of my treestand, just had young deer come and investigate. Might have to try the scrape thing.

[30coupe]

Yup. It works just fine. By the way, I don't stop drinking coffee...ever! Maybe deer are attracted to Folger's      

You guys just drink the wrong coffee    

[Ragnarok Forge]

Hmm,  man scent scares em, man pee draws them.  It sounds like the young dumb ones will fall for it and the bruisers know better.  Guess you can pee if you want small bucks based on all the posts.

[Young Buck]

Wow, that is interesting.  I will try it!

I have been peeing in active scrapes for years,and I think it works great.
However I only pee in them after a morning hunt,that way it is at least a few hours before a buck visits the scrape.(most of the time)
And by then it smells like ammonia.
I feel like if I pee in them in the evening hunt they could be visited too early and smell different than deer or(ammonia)pee.
I have always had good results peeing in scrapes and it is way cheaper than $12.99 per oz for deer urine.
I can put about $75.00 worth of scent on a scrape for basically free by peeing on it.
I know some on here will be skeptical and thats fine,but you should at least give it a try,I think you will be surprized at the results.
One more thing I have learned,and I learned it the hard way....LEAVE THE LICKING BRANCH ALONE,nothing will kill a scrape faster IMO than messing with the overhanging licking branch.
Good hunting.

Does a bowhunter pee in the woods?  

You betcha!....been doin it for the past 20 yrs.

[K.S.TRAPPER]

We don't go out of are way to hit this scrape or others but if we got to go we use them.

 

I drink coffee in my stands and don't very my diet during the season either. My son shot this buck in this scrape with a doe a week later.

 

 

I have hundreds of picks of this scrape with big and small bucks,does,coyotes,fox,racoon's and other critters all using it.  :D
