Pro tip: while DNA doesn't last long in urine, why take the risk, when significantly stinkier animal urines for hunting and/or deterrent purposes exist? RollSafeMeme.jpg

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 68 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I hear you can buy large quantities of super stinky fox urine pretty cheaply online from hunting supplies vendors..

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 48 points 7 months ago (5 children)

wouldnt this add the risk that one's online purchase history could potentially be discovered and used against you as evidence?

[–] tryitout@infosec.pub 91 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Correct. The safest option is extracting it yourself directly from the fox. This also protects against man in the middle attacks.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

From what I’ve seen in furry porn, foxes are the sexiest animals too.

"it's also hot."

Don't listen to this! It doesn't work.

I found a fox, then extracted urine from the man between me and the fox. He still attacked me.

[–] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Are you suggesting that cops can determine what kind of urine was used?

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 10 points 7 months ago

I mean if foxes are unusually smelly, someone might guess based on the stench being beyond human ability?

[–] BottleOfAlkahest@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

It's used to deter pests so just spray some around your property and report the rest stolen.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'd say if you have anywhere local that would sell it, buy there with cash if you can, otherwise if you're having to buy online try to make your order as least suspicious as you can..

NOT locally... As soon as cops get a match on what type of urine was used and know there's a hunting vendor in town that sells it, they're absolutely going to ask to see cameras if they're seriously investigating for vandalism charges. Drive far away to get it. Far. Away. Then keep in your house, they can't search your garage without a warrant.

This is not legal advice. Do not attempt this in any way shape or form. The author of this hypothetical, fictional scenario is in no way responsible for actions taken based on this message.

Use Tor or something like that?

I'm sure people more knowledgeable than me know how to cover their tracks so that piss-soaked pigs won't catch them that way 🤷

Why do hunters buy fox urine? Does it attract prey animals?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Seems it's not used by hunters but rather to repel pests. Sorta like Ted Cruz, but pests in stead of humans.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, if it attracts predators, it would likely have the same effect on Ted Cruz

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

It already would anyway, since he's sexually attracted to animal urine in general.

I see no problem with luring an amorous Ted Cruz towards pissed off armed cops, though. That's what we in the trade call a twofer 😉

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 months ago

Just order a gun with it

[–] Hootz@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I smell your fox and raise you a coyote.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Aww, my very own coyote? Thanks for raising it for me!

Also nice of you to notice Felix, he's been feeling overlooked lately!

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 14 points 7 months ago

My wife got some deer repellent stuff with "putrified egg" in it that I would highly recommend for this purpose.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Only a newb would use fresh urine. The trick is storing it in a jug for awhile to let it ferment and get super stinky. Let it sit in the sun for a few days.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do it while it is in the tank of the watergun, so you don't get the smell while loading it

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’d think a squirt bottle would be ideal and not a water gun. Throughput is too slow.

[–] PizzaMane@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Buy range is important. The closer you are to their car the worse chances you have of escaping.

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Also super soakers are way too conspicuous. Animal urine in a dollar store squirt gun is perfect. Animal urine actually requires less fluid to be effective.

Some cheap perfume would also do in a pinch, or essential oils mixed with cooking oil.
