Can a deer be scared of dog Pee?

Is it possible for a deer to smell human urine?
“But it’s unlikely deer associate human urine with humans, unless a human leaves their scent behind along with the urine.” Miller agrees. “Deer aren’t genetically programmed to be able to identify human urine. For them to do that, they’d have to follow a hunter around and wait for him to urinate, or catch him urinating, and then go check it out.”
How does human urine affect a whitetail deer?
Few studies have been done on the effects of human urine on whitetails. Several years ago, Kroll and then-graduate student Ben Koerth used trail cameras to monitor mock scrapes treated with commercial buck urine, doe-in-heat urine, human urine and new car smell (which they got from a car wash).

Why do deer like to pee in the woods?
Kroll and Koerth concluded that, when it comes to pee, a deer’s natural curiosity explains its behavior. “For their survival, it’s necessary for deer to be curious and know everything that’s going in their home range,” Kroll said.
Is it OK to pee in a deer scrape?
“If urinating in a scrape is a confidence builder, or it allows you to keep hunting, then go ahead and do it,” Kroll said. “Because one of the biggest things you can do to boost your odds for success is to hunt longer.” The moral of this story is, if you gotta pee, keep your hunting area scent-free!
