[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5627385, member: 16465"] Yeah, I am just a small farm owner speaking to my experience almost exclusively to my small west Tennessee property. Maybe there are outliers that don't conform to your research, dunno. Used to be old-timers would tell you don't pee where you hunt, that it would scare deer away. To say they were wrong would be a huge understatement. No telling over the past 30 plus years that I have been hunting my small farm and had deer show up right after peeing. I started peeing in scrapes over 20 years ago, and I hadn't really noticed any decline in activity at those sites where I had cameras. As to why a yote chose to pee there is almost certainly them marking territory. I had seen it many times when I used to use minerals. As to why it does not spook deer, probably for the same reason that human urine doesn't spook them. Urine breaks down into ammonia rather quickly if I am not mistaken. And another thing to remember is that there are territorial and community scrapes, you may call them something different. Does may use community scrapes year round, I have seen them using scrapes in May before. Different entirely, but my point is that i think a buck will pick up a does scents wherever they leave their scent. [/QUOTE]
