On the morning of the hunt Nov 13, 2005 at around 8 a.m., I heard a deer moving down wind of me and out of view. I knew that the deer was getting wind of the Doe Estrous and the Buck Urine I had out. Being in the primetime of the rut I knew if it was a buck, there was a very good chance that I would have the animal moving in on me in no time. After giving two series of rattling and making "young buck" tending grunts, the giant came straight to the scent I had out. At 25 yards the monster stopped just a matter of inches away from the Doe Estrous I had put out. This gave me the chance I had been waiting for; I made a perfect double lung shot. This "record breaking" buck of a lifetime lay only 25 yards from my stand. Just like in previous years, Code Blue Scents convinced a mature buck that there was a "HOT" doe and a challenging buck near my set-up.
When it comes to hunting in the early part of deer season, using the right scents and strategies can help give you a competitive edge in your quest to take down that target buck. Early season can be one of the best times to catch mature bucks in predictable patterns, but extra attention to detail with scent control and scent choice is a must. Read more to learn the three Cs of early-season scents.
As the leading innovator in hunting scent technology, Code Blue is thrilled to announce the launch of two new products: the PST! Pure-S-Trous Aerosol Spray and D/CODE’s Unscented Hair & Body Foam.
