Title: Looking for advice on pee-ing
Post by: logola512c on October 16, 2023, 12:02:00 PM: I need help with pee. I just don't seem to know anything about peeing. ok, so now that I've invited all sorts of ridiculous responses (which are more than welcome and always appreciated), my real question is whether anyone knows (preferably based on experience) whether whitetail estrus pee is the same as (or similar enough to effectively use) for blacktails? I also can't wrap my head around ordering little bottles of horny deer pee from Jeff Bezos' former little online book store.

When you’re peeing? No, not a good idea.

Good to know. Thanks.

I had dripped some blacktail doe estrus pee (since that was all I had) on my boots and dripped a drop or two every 50 feet or so as I climbed the hill in the dark. This was on opening day of early firearm season (mid-October) and there was scattered snow on the ground from a storm a week or so earlier. I reached a spot with 200-300 yards of sparse vegetation and settled in for daylight. A couple other hunters arrived in the area over on private property and ignoring my blaze orange upslope from them, stomped around down below me making plenty of racket and yakking away. Within 10 minutes of their leaving, I saw movement and sunlight deflecting off of antlers. A buck was aggressively moving into a clearing right in line with my scent trail. BANG!!!! Tagged out by 8:00AM on opening day.

This all kind of surprised me for the following reasons:

1. I used blacktail scent but was hunting whitetails.

2. They have a late season hunt in that area (late November) to catch the rut and I was a month early.

3. The buck was definitely following the scent trail and he was hopped up and aggressively moving into an area of no cover with a complete lack of caution. Bucks in that area are usually completely nocturnal until the rut makes them go brainless.

I'd guess that the early snowstorm set something off. But in response to your question and my experience, I'd say that you can use different deer species scents successfully. And you don't need to order them from Amazon......any decent sized outdoors/hunting store might stock the specific scent for the species that you are hunting.

Post by: Kascade_Killer on October 16, 2023, 09:06:06 PM: Not sure it matters the species never had any experience other than with whitetail scent. Pissing in the scrapes does work by the way as eluded in an earlier post.

One recommendation I do have for urine attractants is buying synthetic scents. The natural stuff rots (sometimes before you even receive it depending when it was bottled/temperature/etc). Buck fever synthetics and tinks both make synthetic attractants that work well. The scent also stays as fresh as the day you use it even after weeks.

Well getting older,doing more sitting and watching type hunting now.
I went to a couple local stores,not one bottle of deer pee before modern rifle.
Everyone bought it all.
So I don't have any. Sucks.
Then it will all be on sale by January.
