To pee or not to pee

No..... bottled urine is so old and outdated it is mostly all ammonia. Unless you could get piss directly from a deer farmer.

I don't buy into it.... I know a kit of people swear by it
 
I buy (as mentioned above) from a local deer farm near my parents. I have had marginal success with it in most cases using a drag/drip method. I have had a few bucks walk right down the scent drag but I would say out of all the years I have hunted this has only been a dozen times or so. Prior to being referenced to a local farm I was using Code Blue and to be honest never had any luck but this could be partial to what the above poster mentioned as I was not familiar that was the situation with "Store Bought" brands.

Again I would say I only use it a few times out of the year though so my experiences are only limited to those few days I do and I don't think are the greatest representation I wouldn't mind hearing someone chime in that is an avid user. Also as a point of note I have used the older "Scent Candles" which put off a crazy amount of scent and probably out of the 6 sets I burned them for I had buck actively come in on 3. I was pretty impressed but have never got around to trying them again.

Most deer science will point to them smelling the ammonia as much as anything else. That said, I don't buy commercial deer pee either. I have had success with smaller bucks following a drag line, but I've never seen any evidence that it is worth messing with. So I eliminating it from my bag of tricks 4-5 years ago.

Don't use it. Evercalm is the only thing I use that remotely smells like piss. I'm too paranoid about that stuff spooking deer.

I have not used any since 04'
I couldn't see tossing the money in the trash anymore. I used it and hung a cam near by and not once did I see anything worth shooting even walk past it.

I have tried a drip before. I never seen any bucks in person but I would have bucks mark over it but all pics were at night. I've never killed a deer using it.

I pee in scrapes whenever I see one and gotta go and bucks continue working em. If ya'll want some just send me a sixer of a decent IPA or Oktoberfest and I'll refill the bottles and send em back...for free of course .

Haha... Well played Carpn.
I've pissed in them too, and human piss seems to make them just curious? Lol

I've seen code blue work like a charm on a 155" 10 point. But I still won't buy it.
