Seth, I was back in Yooperland bow hunting a few years back where tree stand hunting is very popular. My buddy had 4 stands spread out in about a 7 sq mile area. The stand I was on had no activity for days, so I just pissed real close to the shooting lane a couple of times one day. I'll be damned if we did not start having activity! Scratching, nosing around etc. About three days after the peeing I got a small buck!!!
I am not saying it works but apparently it did not scare them either.
