Abstract

Animal scent attractant and cover scent kits made from urine collected from a single animal and packaged for storage prior to use. The method of making the kits involves placing a single animal into a staging stall under controlled conditions wherein urine is collected. A series of primary and secondary staging stalls may be used to enhance urine production. Such stalls preferably have solid floors made from concrete, wood or stainless steel which may contain a covered trough to direct the urine into a bottle for collection. Heat and music may also be provided to the stall to enhance urine production, depending on the species of animal.
