Does deer urine go bad?

[Hoffer]

Hey guys, sorry if this has been posted here before...but I dont go on the hunting threads a lot.

I always have some deer urine in the little bottles left over from the year before.

Does it go bad? would it be Ok to reuse this year? I know its only like 7 bucks or so a bottle - but just wondering?

Thanks!

I don't know about that stuff, don't deer hunt, but you should whizz in a bottle and let it sit for a year and tell me what you think.

I'd get a new bottle...

Good question, I always have some left from the year before I still use it. who knows the older the better ?

[Gofishleech]

Get new or nothing but it goes bad,,,,of course the stuff on the shelf could be just as old

If it's the real thing it will go bad. It should be refrigerated if it is the real deal.

If it smells like ammonia, it's bad.

Doesn't deer urine go bad in nature? As in when a deer pees on the ground, it doesn't stay fresh for very long. I would use it. I dont think it will hurt. Will just smell old as in that big buck peed awhile ago there. Read an article in F&S where a guy figured why not use a year old bottle and a big buck stopped just long enough to investigage and become a trophy. As the article concluded something along the lines of "And he proved year old deer pee can work."

P.S. I just wouldnt leave it in the garage in 90 degree heat or anything. Put it in the back of your hunting closet.

Yes it does go bad the ph changes as it gets old makes it smell different . Depending what you buy its already a year old as it is when you buy it.

1000% correct

Id' say sure, go fill a gallon jug yourself take a whiff if you dare, leave it for a year then take a whiff if it hasn't corroded the plastic, you'll likely be on your hands and knees heaving lol. I don't use that overpriced rip off, I like on a snowy year which has been a rarity, to step and rub around the real deal though, tear a balsam fir branch off and use it for masking scent, save your money, buy beer with it.

I don't trust any of it. Not worth risking a mature deer.
