scents

[mtbuck]

just purchased some code red from dicks, was wandering if anyone has used this product,i bought the three pack

with buck, doe,and estrous pee. gonna try a double drag with estrous on one and buck on the other

i only use wildlife research, and never drag. i hang drippers within 100 yrds each direction. ive never heard of code red, only code blue. try hanging wicks. that works well. especially over the course of the next 5 days, dragging will not be effective, wicks will be the way to go.

hope you have better luck with the scents.I spent so much on them over the years i could buy a new Hoyt if i still had the money.I Only ever had one spike come in to some.

ive used code red. same stuff as code blue, same company. dont really have an opinion on whether they work or not. have had deer come in and sniff them but im not sure if they were headed that way to begin with or if the scent brought them in lol

will say that wearing rubber boots with no scent sprayed on them has been better than putting doe urine on them. my route to my stand crosses every deer path on the way in, and with the doe urine when theyd cross my path theyd sniff the ground and the deer would be skiddish thereafter, without the doe urine theyll walk down the same exact mowed path and not even put their head to the ground.

squirt some vanilla extract mixed with almond extract on some leaves around your stand.It will cause both sexes to be curious.I buy mine at real deals or dollar store for like 1 or 2 dollars a bottle.I use an old doe pee spray bottle i got years back.I just use the sprayer part and it screws right on to the vanilla or almond extract bottle.

BTW.it is not baiting or feeding.Your just spraying it on some leaves and using it as an attractant.It doesn't sit on the ground and cause deer to swap saliva like bait piles do.

Why do the drags not work this time of the year? I have an idea but im not sure if im right.

They work...but with the rain they wash away fast.

Hang a scent wick and it will blow around more.
