Title: Deer shy now
Post by: TwoShot on September 17, 2014, 09:29:24 AM: I have had deer on my trail cameras almost everyday. So I thought maybe to entice the bucks I would use some doe urine. Now hardly anything comes in. Any ideas why?

IMO, I have never bought into the billion dollar gimmick of scents and coverups. I'm sure some work at the right times. However, for fun, pee in a bottle and stick it on the shelf for 9 months and tell me how that smells for you. Soooooo, you have to add a preservative right.

As a description, it has always been said that we can smell bread being baked, and a deer could tell what the ingredients are and how much of each. Just a thought to ponder.

Another thought to ponder is, you can put ground up dried dog manure in a capsule and sell it as an aphrodisiac, and millions will buy it and try it. It doesn't mean it will work. Its all about the packaging.
