RE: Anyone try the code blue standing estrus
I had to go give it a try last night after work and 5 min. after i put it out i had a smaller nine point standing behind me with his noise in the air, then he made a scrape. I'm waiting for the big boy with the double drop tines the neighbors seen the other day though.

I've heard the first mistake we all make with Doe estrus scents is use it too soon. In Mich you shouldn't use it til the end of Oct. And I like to use a Doe decoy with it as well. But it's not a guarantee by any means, If you have a Buck in your area that is not already with a Doe and is looking it could work great. But when it doesn't work like magic we think it must be no good. During the Peak Rut it will be hard to get a Mature Buck to come in on scents, their too busy with the real thing. By the second rut (28 days after the peak)when the younger Does come into heat it might work better. Just an opinion, I hunt with an Old guy who dumps it all over the woods and on himself, but I ain't telling him any different. Hedon't come in my Camper, he's got his own..thank god. LOL

Friend of mine just tried it the other day. Just to see how well it works. No sooner was he about 200yards away, 6 does and 1 buck ran right to the fallen tree he put it on. The buck tore the hell out of that tree while the does stood there watching wondering what the hell his prob is.

I bought some before the season. Paid $10 a bottle and bought 2 bottles. I didn't know it went for that much $$$. I put out a scent wick once, with no result, but also consider I had my kid with me not exactly being quiet. I'll try it tomorrow when I go out on my own.
