Pretty much all urine is a mixture of water, minerals, and nitrogeneous waste. I have noticed that my diet affects the smell of my urine. Fact.

How much does a deer's diet affect the smell of bottled urine? Can the urine of captured/collection deer vary based upon their diet? If you're feeding those deer a pelleted ration with assorted hay choices, what happens if I use that urine where the primary food source is sage or oak brush? It has to chemically affect the smell the same as it does in humans.

What have your studies shown?

Not a chemist, but unless there is some sort of preservative I am guessing that once urine breaks down to ammonia it probably pretty well all smells the same.

When deer are fed Sugar cane it make the urine taste sweeter

This is why hunters should avoid eating garlic onion broccoli Brussels sprout and other veggies high in urea and that stuff makes yoru urea acid & urine s stink

you are what you eat

Indian avoided meat & sex 3 days before major hunts they say

Not eating meat lowered their scent profile in the bush.

Most protein is passed off in waste feces & urine.

Urine is about the most powerful of the chemical communication in deer.

Next time I talk to a buck I will ask him

Alot of people believe that urinating from the treestand does not bother deer or they have stated that having done so they've witnessed deer actually smell where they went and not spook.

Why have some people been able to pee into scrapes during winter weather(snowfall) only to have deer use the same scrape that very same day or that evening???

First of all. I know for a fact asparagus will effect urine smell (anyone that eats it will agree).

Secondly, I have taken Tinks 69 (we get lots of it here at work) and dropped about 10 drops in the middle of a plot I've hunted and watched young bucks root for it like I buried a treasure (if there were older ones, I would have shot them).

Thirdly. Yesterday, me and my oldest boy Jack went hunting. I drop him off and as usual, I just go sit in a stand nearby to watch and see what's moving (not really hunting unless I see a coyote or bobcat). I got in the stand right after drinking a ton of sweet tea (and a diet coke before that). I had to go, and I had no problem doing it right off the front of the stand.

30 minutes later, I had a 4 point come out to my left and he started feeding straight up toward me and my stand. I sat there and watched that buck feed right in front of me at 10 yards for 30 minutes and never raise his snout or look my way (5 yards from the base of my stand and where I did my business).

So go figure.
