[rec.hunting] using human urine as an attractant???

I am a novice whitetail hunter so most of what I know comes mostly
>from literature. From almost anything I've read about deer,
it's always been assumed that they will avoid an area where
a human has urinated.

Isn't this why you are supposed to bring a jug to urinate in?
After reading about the success of the person (who posted his
hunting report) who had used his own urine as an attractant,
I am now completely confused on this issue.

I will be hunting with a bow so I am particulary concerned about 
concealing my presence, as well as my scent. Since this will be 
my first bow season I won't be taking shots past 20 yards, so
this issue is rather crucial to my success.

Anecdotes? Advice?

Oh! Hey guys! Great group BTW!!! This was an excellent idea
and I'm sure it's going to help mine & others hunting success!!!
Every time I read it I feel like I'm sitting 'round the ol'
electronic campfire!!!! :-)

Also, my compliments to the moderator! Good job Tim!!
