There was a recent Texas A&M study that concluded all urine is the same to deer.

I think that study might be skewed by corn feeders.

My nose ain't as good as a deer but I can tell if piss is from a deer,cat, bear, human, or k9.

I do still pee in a container but have proof it don't matter.

We all have our quirks and beliefs.

I keep my hunting cloths in a big plastic tub with cedar limbs in the bottom year around. No telling how old some of my hunting clothes are, they've been in there for years. I wash them once a year in scent free soap and they still smell like cedar when they come out of the wash and I take my clothes off after a hunt as soon as I can and put them back in with the cedar limbs.
I regularly have deer at 10 yards or less and more than once I've had one rub on the bottom of my ladder stand just like those ozonics commercials.
I promise you if you try this it will work and I'm not trying to sell you anything :D

The best way is to just put fresh cedar (or I'm sure many kinds) in the bottom of one of those plastic storage tubs from wal-mart. I then have a small piece of plywood I put on the cedar to keep the prickly cedar from getting in my clothes and then lay my cloths and hat on top.

Now you smell like an environmentally friendly human.

I keep my duds in the back of my closed truck bed with blocks of record rack wildberry. I smell like a candied human.

Some folk smell like smoked human, k9 human, turpentine human, and so forth.
