Jackie's is good stuff. Really the only deer pee I use now. I just piss in scrapes with "my own blend."
I have tried almost every brand on the market and mastins deer sents have out performed all others. It also cost half as much as other sents
Used quite a few over the years. The only deer urine/estrous scent that I have had luck with has been Wildlife Research Golden Estrous. I had scrapes that got worked and deer that came in to it on several occasions. Seemed the more I used it the less it worked though. The latest kind of scent I have used and really like even better has been the Ever Calm Deer Herd in a Stick. I have used it on decoys, over scrapes, as a cover scent on the tree I am in, etc.. Seems I rarely if ever have a deer get spooky when it smells the scent and it generally makes any mock scrape turn into a real one for me.
I personally have never had to much luck with any urine/estrous. just me though! I did start goin p in a fresh scrape on the way to my treestand every morning and man was that scrape always tore up!!!
Yeah supposedly deer can't distinguish deer urine from human urine because the ph is the same so you can pee out of your stand or in a scrape and they will still hit that scrape. But some guys say to never pee in the woods or if you do it pee in a scent safe bottle so I don't know who is right? Do you guys know for sure?
ok. so we've had about 10 different brands mentioned. Along with several who recommend their "own brand" LOL! I was raised never to piss in the woods you intend to hunt.... It is interesting that PH is all that matters and that generic piss is thought to be another buck. Anyone subscribe to the theory that the piss needs to come from your local herd? For example, wouldn't a bottle of piss from Ohio seem completely foreign to a Texas buck? OR am I WAY overthinking this?
