Ok here we go! I have recently met a new best friend. He's in his late 70's and lives about a mile down the rd.gg He heard that I was a trapper and was having trouble with a few beaver on his pond and coyote/fox killing his ducks and chickens. So as we would do I told him I would help ouy my neighbor free of charge. Only problem is he wants to follow along bc he wants to learn and his lonely. Which I don't mind a bit but everytime i turn my head he's peeing right beside my sets. I have tried to tell talk to him i preach being scent free while making sets he watchs me and as soon as I am about to stand up he pisses. I don't want to be ugly but dang I'm doing it for free. Any ideas

tell him to stop

Curiosity scent.

pee on his leg a couple times...

It’s never had an effect on my catches. Urine is urine. Doesn’t effect prey or predators...just my opinion.

I've peed in a dirt hole set and caught coyotes but if its upsetting you then the overall sent being left at the set is negative and will most likely not produce predators. Just my opinion

I don't believe it's that big of a deal.

Human pee doesn't bother red fox around here. When I'm running low on fox urine I've peed on sets and haven't noticed a difference in my catch rate.

I know of an old sheep farmer who pees on his fence post, sets a trap and catches coyotes.

Pee is ok, poop not ok

If it bothers you pull your traps and tell him to pi$$ away.

Why is he peeing so much?

J.P. Old guys Pee a lot. You will find out when you grow up.

I have to pee now.

I knew an old trapper who ALWAYS had a cigar in his mouth, sometimes lit, but usually just chewing on it. His catches seemed to be just fine.

As mentioned above, urine is urine. I too have peed on a grass clump on the corner of a property and had coyotes mark the clump also.
Have peed in deer scrapes also when bowhunting near the scrape. Bucks work the scrape.

That's what the guys say about me when we are driving to Canada on our fishing trips!

Thats what i was thinking

Caught several coyotes on my pee post. Prolly should charge for this info. It’s a great change up for those not interested in regular sets. Not a regular thing i do but the few times I did it was a big old dog in the trap.

I dont intentionally pee close to my sets but if I have to pee I whip it out and water the lizard.....causes no problems.
