Wouldn’t one do both, both mask you and attract, like doe urine? ---

No they are not the same , earth scent wafers or earth scent sprays, Deer bedding area calming scents, other animal urines that work as cover scents. Doe urine is an attractant It May have some small beliefs it was mask your scent but not real well. It definantly lets them know where you are.the other hides your presence. ---

I’ve only deer hunted a few times decades ago, but I never used either. I did open up a bottle of the deer pee one time and couldn’t believe how bad that stuff smelled. Have no idea if it works, though. Interested to hear others’ experiences with it. Anyway, here’s an interesting article about a deer urine farmer in Iowa: > **[Behind the Scenes at a Deer Urine Farm and Doe Urine Deer Lure Operation](https://deerfarmer.com/behind-scenes-deer-urine-farm-doe-urine-deer-lure-operation)** > > Insider information into a deer urine farm operation raising and breeding whitetails for collecting, packaging, and shipping whitetail deer urine. ---

When I’ve hunted hogs from a blind, I use the scent-free soap and shampoo and scent-free laundry detergent. I’ve only hunted using feeders, though. So I don’t know if they really care whether they smell me because they’re too hungry or the scent-free stuff works otherwise they wouldn’t risk it? ---

I always use scent free soap and laundry detergent . I dont hunt from a stand or blind . I still hunt moving very slowly and stopping every so often . I have walked up on several deer . ---

Ive spot and stalked in Mississippi on private land. The does saw me way before I saw them due to my lack of still hunting skills. I only found out after I flushed them and barely saw their tails up in the air as they bounded into the brush! There’s not much public land to hunt on in Texas and it’s done by lottery. So I’m guessing you can’t set up a blind or feeder in those few public wildlife management areas. Most folks do private leases, if one can be found, where they set up feeders and blinds. The rest are weekend leases where the owners have the blinds set up, but I’m sure some offer still hunts. ---

I guess with all things there’s good and bad. Texas has a thriving economy, lots of oil and gas, wind and solar energy, huge petrochemical industry, great Tex Mex, BBQ, professional sports teams, rodeo events, Friday night football and college football, no state income tax, low gas prices, relatively affordable living (compared to FL, NY, CA, etc.), permitless carry and “Shall-Issue” licensed to carry, lots of gun shops, gun ranges and gun shows, beaches, fishing, mountains, deserts, wineries, the Hill Country, and on and on. As for hunting, Texas allows 24/7 hog hunting with no hunting license required. Heck, we even have hot air balloon and helicopter hog hunts! Lots of whitetail and exotic hunts (Texas climate and habitat is perfect for exotics). But yeah, it can be expensive if you don’t own your own land and want to lease hunt. But I guess that’s the embodiment of capitalism and private property rights compared to government-owned lanfs, which can have their own sets of restrictions, such as trail closures, off-limit areas for cattle grazing, target shooting prohibitions, etc. ---

I was stationed in ElPaso in the 70’s. I like Tx but it would be hard to leave the farm here.
