Synthetics
Designed to use in locations where natural urines are not legal, Code Blue’s synthetic urines have been formulated to deliver the same effectiveness as their real counterparts.
Real World Results without Real Urine.
Code Blue® synthetic scents are made for hunters seeking field-proven performance no matter what state they hunt in.
Code Blue® synthetic scents give hunters a proven alternative that delivers the same behavioral triggers without any of the regulatory risk (always check your local regulations). Each formula is scientifically developed to replicate the smell and performance of its natural counterpart, so you get the same results on scrapes, licking branches, and drag lines.
From early-season curiosity to peak-rut aggression, the Code Blue® synthetics lineup covers every stage of the season. These scents will not break down and lose effectiveness the way natural urines can, making them a reliable choice from first light to last stand.
- Synthetic Buck Urine mimics dominant buck presence on scrapes, working as a curiosity scent early and a territorial-infringement trigger right before and during the rut.
- Synthetic Doe Estrous replicates the smell of a doe in heat, making it the go-to attractor for mid-to-late season when rutting bucks are on their feet and searching.
- Synthetic Doe Urine is a versatile, low-pressure option ideal for calming deer and drawing in early-season bucks without raising any red flags.
- Synthetic Pre-Orbital Gland Stick uses a wax formula for mess-free application directly to licking branches, stimulating rub activity all season long.
- Rack Rub® is a gel-formula licking branch and mock scrape activator that is easy to apply and effective from setup through the late season.
- Pair any synthetic with Code Blue® scent accessories including drags, wicks, and dispensers to maximize scent dispersal and placement in the field.
FAQ
What are synthetic deer scents?
Synthetic deer scents are laboratory-formulated products designed to replicate the chemical composition and behavioral triggers of natural deer secretions without using any real animal urine or gland material. Code Blue® synthetics are engineered to mimic the specific scents deer rely on for communication, including buck urine, doe estrous, and pre-orbital gland secretions. Because they contain no biological material, they carry zero CWD transmission risk and are legal in states that have banned natural urine products.
Are synthetic scents as effective as real deer urine?
Code Blue® synthetic scents are scientifically formulated to replicate the smell and performance of natural deer urine and gland secretions. One key advantage synthetics have over natural urine is longevity. Natural urines break down over time and can lose effectiveness, while synthetics maintain their potency far longer in the field. The Synthetic Doe Estrous and Synthetic Buck Urine are both designed to trigger the same behavioral responses bucks exhibit when they encounter the real thing.
Where are natural deer urine scents restricted or banned?
An increasing number of states have restricted or banned natural deer urine products due to concerns about the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Regulations change frequently, so always check your state’s current hunting regulations before heading afield. Code Blue® synthetic scents are legal to use where real urine products are not, making them the safe choice for hunters in regulated states. Review Code Blue’s CWD policy and resources for more information.
When should I use Synthetic Doe Estrous versus Synthetic Buck Urine?
The right choice depends on timing. Synthetic Buck Urine works throughout the season, functioning as a curiosity scent early on and a territorial trigger as bucks begin competing for dominance heading into the rut. Synthetic Doe Estrous is best suited for mid-to-late season when bucks are actively searching for does in heat. Using both in combination on scrapes and drag lines can be a highly effective rut strategy.
Can I use Code Blue synthetics with drags, and other accessories?
Absolutely. The liquid synthetic formulas, including Synthetic Buck Urine, Synthetic Doe Estrous, and Synthetic Doe Urine, pair directly with Code Blue® scent accessories like the Deluxe Scent Drag, Expandable Wicks, and Double Drag Combo. Using a drag line soaked in synthetic scent to walk into your stand creates a natural-looking scent trail that leads deer straight to your setup.
