Know-How: Tweak Your Deke
Setting a decoy spread for wary waterfowl requires strategic calculations to pull off a successful ruse. The same is true of decoying whitetail bucks. You can plunk a buck decoy anywhere, but to have it work with precision requires forward thinking. Begin with simple biology.
To Pee or Not to Pee ...
For decades, deer hunters have used deer urine and other scent-based products to lure bucks into range for a shot.

Sometimes without spilling it on themselves, sometimes not.
Synthetic Deer Urine?
The surge in popularity of bowhunting brought the use of deer based scents to the forefront. We now have a multi-million dollar industry based on deer pee. Over 60 companies produce and sell deer urine and gland based attractants in one form or another. Unfortunately, everything is not rosy in the world of cervid secretions.
