Wolf Urine

[Chicks_N_Horses]

No, wolf urine will not deter other wild dogs/wolves at all. Trappers will use gland and urine as lure to bring in the same animals to trap lots of times.

I would agree with captdav2612; if the animal you're trying to keep away doesn't know what a wolf is, they won't be afraid of it.
I think that's why human urine works... most animals are naturally afraid of people.
My son and husband urinate around the coop & run, pretty much daily.
This seems to *so far* keep away the critters.
This isn't our only defense; Our run has a welded wire fence skirted & covered with chicken wire and a sturdy coop.

Good luck with what ever urine ends up being your choice

They keep in a pen with a slanted floor with a small hole on the low end with a catch pan underneath. much like the way commercial egg producers gather eggs.

So, what was the verdict? I missed that one.

hmm if I remember right, it was the one where the team was trying to deter a dog, a German Shepard dog, and they tried different myths. They were entering a guarded area where the dog was supposed to attack them and they used different deterrents. One of them was they put wolf urine on the intruder and it made the dog stop to sniff and hesitate, but it still eventually attacked.

This is all I found

Yes, often they have wire floors in the pens with a slanted, metal pan underneath, that drains into a container. Care must be taken to clean the cages daily to keep feces and food residues out of the urine or it will literally spoil. Pure urine can be bottled and kept at room temperature without going bad for years.

What the animal is fed and when also makes a difference. Those that I know that collect fox, coyote, and bobcat urines seem to only feed meats and animal carcasses and report that the winter urine is high quality, the summer is not...

Sounds like a boring life for those wild creatures!

Most of them are trapped, caged for a few months and then either released or killed and the fur processed. They are not kept caged long term because the urine--off season--has no value.
