Rolling in elk turds and piss is part of the experience.  Its not for everyone, thats why we need our own season for archery.

My favorite thing to do with Elk Urine is read stories about you guys rubbing it into your clothes   :chuckle:

A hunting buddy I have would cut the piss patch off anyones elk at camp and put it in a ziplock bag. He would put it on ice and or freeze it for the next year. Before he took off for the days hunt he would rub that patch over his  arms and legs.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

The thing with cover scents, these animals have complex and sensitive noses so I don't think there is any very effective cover scent.  Not to say nobody ever benefited from rubbing such god awful things on them.  That said, I'll work the wind and not get piss all over my stuff.

Wow.  That is nasty.  What I recommend is cutting that sucker off and throwing it as far away as possible.  :chuckle:

that is step one when I walk up to a dead bull in the rut. Cut that skin off and throw it at whoever I am hunting with.  :chuckle:

I've tried it, but I prefer to just keep the wind in my face. When you have it on you you can't tell if you are smelling your self or actual elk. Maybe if I was in a tree stand I'd try it again.

I use the stuff only cuz it prob smells better then me to elk.  I worry if it fosters laziness in me and hope i never tell myself i dont need to walk 200yards around them elk cuz its ok if they smell the piss i have on.  Also i still haven't smelled store bought elk piss that smells like real elk or real elk piss. One thing i jave done is find some fresh elk piss soaked into dirt and picked it up with a plastic baggie and double it up and hope that the elk is an estrous put in the freezer and use it next year in the same area in the same  hopefully same genetics at least...lol

I have used it ever since I started bow hunting. It has saved my butt more than once. I keep a bottle of Wayne carltons estrus spray in my pocket. I pulled a 380 plus once from down wind at over two hundred yards with just a cow call and spraying it every few steps. Got him to less than twenty yards and clipped a limb and hit him in the shoulder blade and lost him. Tough day, but it works great at times.
Its all about the bone baby!

I used to use skunk screen in my early days bow hunting.  By the end of season, I couldn't smell it anymore.

That was 35 years ago, and I still cannot smell skunk
