Not necessarily. Although most studies indicate that deer are not spooked by human urine, they don't necessarily come to it as an attractant either. Your best bet is to not intentionally do it however if you must go, you needn't fear the worst either.

That has been told for years. However, you never hear anyone who shot a big buck say they peed anywhere near the area where they took the buck. Try to keep your scent down and that includes not peeing where you hunt. I have seen a few bucks that almost made my poop myself but thats a different story.

i piss in every scrape i see.........any smell is quickly evaporated and the only thing left is ammonia which deer piss out as well.........so yes it can increase you chance but really if its in a fresh scrape

On Nov.19 I got in my stand around 7:30. About 3pm I had to go so I stood up leaned over the front and took a leak. At 5:25 i shot a main frame 9pt. with 2 extra kickers. He was @ 12yds. and downwind. I have no problem going in or around my stand and will sometimes go in a scrape. Don't know if it attracts deer(probably not) but I don't think it bothers them.

my dad shot a nice main frame 8 with a kicker on the right g2 out of a stand that he pissed out of, but i dont feel that it would attract them like others have said but dont feel that it bothers them

Now that we are on this subject what about takin a crap in the woods. How far do you have to go from your stand? Do you guys go throught the trouble to bury it? Just curios.

I was huntin with hazcon7 this fall, and he took a whizzz from his stand and a group of does got within 3 feet of the puddle about an hour later and they freaked out and bolted.
But maybe that's just because it was super strong "rutting" hazcon7 urine, they were afraid he would breed them....they did the right thing.

The latest research showed that bucks reacted equally well to doe estrous urine and human urine. Those two scents tied for 1st in tests conducted using various types of urines and other scents.
My own experiences have backed up this study. I have attempted to "ruin" some scrapes by urinating in them, only to see "muy grande" tearing the same scrape up when I was leaving the woods that evening. Does wouldn't leave it and continued to come back to other places I have "tested."
