Is the consensus elk do not care about human urine then?
Biggest myth in whitetail woods...I hunt pressured public lands in IL and have never seen it spook deer...50+% of the time the deer are attracted to it and come over to investigate.
...don't get me started on scent lock and "scent away" sprays...SMH![]()
. The smells that spook them come from your mouth mostly.
Four: don't eat yellow snow
Really??? Where do you get this information? I've always figured that deer get spooked by smells that aren't usually in their woods. So even if they smell your pee it may spook them because I would think my coffee laden pee smells different than coyote pee. That may not b true, it's just what I've always thought. I figured elk wouldn't be quite as sensitive to that as deer, since deer just seem to be so much more on edge.
But that's really interesting about the smells coming from the mouth. I'm sure there's tons of scent coming off our bodies that we can't detect that they can.
Take your finger and rub it down the depression between your nose and face. If that smell won't gag a maggot, I don't know what will. And that's just one part of your body.Really???
