The Code Red® line features premium blended scents—doe urine, doe estrous, and buck urine—at more economical price points in various sizes and options.
Code Red® scents are collected for whitetail hunters who are looking for real-deer attraction without having to think about rationing every drop.
Code Red® is the value-forward scent line from Code Blue®, built around premium blended doe urine, doe estrous, and buck urine at price points that make liberal field use practical. Like all Code Blue and Code Red deer urine products, every item in the lineup is RT-QuIC tested and backed by Code Blue’s RHSA DPP membership, so you get the CWD safety standards you expect at a price that lets you saturate scrapes, freshen drags, and spray access routes without holding back.
From $5.99 core bottles to a 12 oz. Full Rut Supply spray, adjustable dripper bags, the all-season Refuge™ spray, and ready-to-hunt combo packs, the Code Red lineup covers every phase of season and every style of setup:
Both Code Red® and Code Blue® deliver proven whitetail attraction using all-natural deer urine. The decision comes down to how you hunt, how much scent you use, and how important single-source collection is to your strategy.
Are Code Red® deer urine products CWD safe?
Yes. Code Blue is a member of the Responsible Hunting Scent Association’s Deer Protection Program (RHSA DPP), and all Code Red deer urine products undergo RT-QuIC testing, a next-generation detection method that is over 10,000 times more sensitive than traditional CWD testing. Every product that passes is verified to have no detectable CWD prions. Review the full testing and collection standards on the CWD policy page. Always check current state regulations in your area, as some states restrict the use of real deer urine regardless of testing.
Which Code Red® scent should I use during early season?
In early season, before the rut begins, low-pressure scents work best. Code Red® Doe Urine is a natural, calming option that signals the presence of a doe without triggering a defensive or suspicious response in bucks. For an all-season approach to maintaining a comfortable, natural-feeling area around your stand, Refuge™ All-Season Urine Spray is designed specifically for this, mimicking a bedding site to put deer at ease from opening day through late season.
Which Code Red® product is best for peak rut?
During peak rut, bucks are actively seeking does and will home in on estrous scent. Code Red® Doe Estrous is the core option, and if you need enough volume to refresh setups repeatedly throughout the rut, the Code Red® Doe Estrous Full Rut Supply delivers 12 oz. in a spray bottle at $19.99. For a hands-free option that keeps scent dispensing while you’re in the stand, pair it with the Code Red® Doe Estrous Dripper hung over a scrape below your stand.
What is Refuge™ and how does it differ from estrous or urine scents?
Refuge™ All-Season Spray is a unique blend of natural deer scents formulated to mimic the scent of a bedding area, signaling to nearby deer that the location is safe and familiar. Unlike estrous or urine scents, which are designed to attract or challenge deer, Refuge™ is a confidence and calming product. Spray it on your access routes, around your stand area, or on nearby vegetation to reduce wariness in the herd. It pairs directly with D/CODE® Scent Elimination products for a layered approach to staying undetected while making the environment feel natural to deer. See the Refuge™ product page for full details.
How does the Code Red® dripper bag work?
The Code Red® Doe Estrous Dripper and Buck Urine Dripper are 3 fl. oz. plastic bags with an adjustable drip rate dial and a hanging tie. Hang the bag on a branch over a scrape, dial in your preferred drip rate, and the bag dispenses scent steadily throughout your sit. You can also carry the bag on your walk in to lay a convincing scent trail to your stand. Both drippers contain blended natural deer urine collected during the appropriate season and are RT-QuIC tested.
How do I use Code Red® Doe Estrous with a drag system?
The Code Red® Doe Estrous + Drag Combo includes everything you need to lay a scent trail to your stand. Saturate the drag wick with Doe Estrous, then drag it along your entry route behind you as you walk in. Bucks that cross your path will follow the trail directly toward your stand. You can also apply scent to stationary wicks hung near your setup. For standalone wicks and other scent delivery tools, check the Accessories page.
What is the Code Red® Buck-N-Does Combo and who is it for?
The Code Red® Buck-N-Does Combo includes one bottle each of Doe Estrous, and Doe Urine for $14.99, giving you a complete starter kit of the three core whitetail scent types in one purchase. It’s a practical choice for hunters who want flexibility across different phases of season or who are building out their scent toolkit for the first time. Use Doe Urine early, add Buck Urine to trigger territorial responses during pre-rut, and shift to Doe Estrous as the breeding season peaks.
What scent elimination products should I use alongside Code Red® scents?
Scent strategy works best when you control your own odor at the same time. Code Blue offers a full lineup of D/CODE® Scent Elimination products, including field sprays and clothing treatments, designed to reduce your scent signature before and during the hunt. For a complete kit, the Scent Elimination Bundles pair multiple products together and work directly alongside any Code Red® scent strategy. Refuge™ All-Season Spray is also built to pair with D/CODE® for a layered confidence-plus-elimination approach.
