Just looking around and came across this today.  They claim photographers use this?  store.kishelscents.com/products/urines/skunk-urine  

Really?

OMG you boys are too funny.  I opened this thread up expecting to find something serious.  Not today!  Skunk urine used by photographers?  

If serious question, perhaps wildlife photographers use it to not leave their scent for animals to smell that they want to photograph?

Little info was given. I would never try an animal attractant in the woods, especially being primarily a bird photographer, and they don't smell a thing. I'd be mostly afraid of attracting a thousand pound, hungry Grizzly...or a Moose in a lousy mood?

Thankfully it's "collected clean, fresh, and uncut." If I hate anything, it's skunk urine that isn't clean and fresh. :rofl:

A little late, but my guess is that the scent is used to mask the photographer's presence rather than attract animals for pictures. But that's just a guess. Regardless, I'd steer clear of the stuff.
