X 2 on what the Cat is saying

Urine is just chemicals. I don't believe animals can detect that is is human in origin. Animals will stop and smell urine wherever they find it. ....and I don't believe that they can distinguish what animal left it there unless there is some other component in it like pheremones. I'll pee into the wind on my treestand right underneath my tree.
As far as attracting deer..... as in bring them in, no. But a fresh whiz will stop them in their tracks for a sniff. Now thats a good thing. Whiz on the trail in shooting lanes or in a scrape and they will stop for you. Thats my experience.
