Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System Review

First Thoughts on the Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System

The Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System promises to be a game-changer in the whitetail woods, offering a convenient and effective way to simulate the natural scent trails that drive bucks wild during the rut. This system, brought to us by Code Blue, includes certified genuine whitetail deer urine from a single doe and buck, paired with the double-drag-rag for easy scent dispersal. Does it live up to the hype?

I’ve spent over a decade chasing whitetails, experimenting with every scent and attractant imaginable. My biggest challenge has always been creating a realistic scent trail that mimics the movements of a hot doe being pursued by a buck, rather than just dumping a bottle of scent near my stand. The Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System seemed to offer a solution to this problem.

Upon opening the package, I was pleased with the simplicity and practicality of the setup. The urine samples are contained in sturdy, easy-to-handle bottles. The double-drag-rag, though simple in design, felt like a practical tool for creating a realistic scent trail.

Compared to other scent attractants I’ve used, the Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System stands out due to its claim of using certified urine from individual animals. Many other products rely on a blend of urine from multiple sources, potentially reducing their effectiveness. I also considered using scent wicks with separate doe and buck urine, but the double-drag-rag seemed more efficient for creating a continuous trail.

My initial reaction was cautiously optimistic. While I’ve been burned by hyped-up hunting products before, the Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System felt like it had the potential to deliver on its promise of attracting rutting bucks. I was eager to get it into the field and see how it performed.

Real-World Testing: Putting Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System to the Test

First Use Experience

I put the Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System to the test during the peak of the rut in central Wisconsin. I selected a well-traveled deer funnel between two bedding areas as my test site. The weather was cold, with a light breeze – ideal conditions for scent dispersal.

Setting up the scent trail was remarkably easy. I applied the doe estrous scent to the shorter drag rag and the buck urine to the longer one, as instructed. I then dragged the rags along a winding path leading to my stand, mimicking the erratic movements of a doe trying to evade a buck.

The initial result was promising. Within an hour, a young buck approached the area, cautiously sniffing the ground along the scent trail. While he didn’t present a shot opportunity, his behavior confirmed that the lure was effective in piquing his interest.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several weeks of use, the Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System has become a staple in my rut hunting strategy. The bottles of urine have lasted surprisingly well, and the double-drag-rag is holding up to repeated use without any signs of deterioration. The scent remains potent even after prolonged exposure to the elements.

The durability of the system is impressive. The bottles have survived several drops without leaking, and the drag rags show no signs of tearing or fraying. Maintenance is minimal; I simply allow the drag rags to air dry after each use.

Compared to my previous experiences with other scent attractants, the Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System has proven to be significantly more effective. While other lures might attract deer from a distance, this system seems to draw them in with a sense of urgency and curiosity, leading to more encounters within shooting range.

Breaking Down the Features of Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System

Specifications

The Code Blue Doe & Buck Lure System includes the following specifications:

• Certified Genuine Whitetail Doe Estrous Urine: Collected from a single doe during her estrous cycle. This ensures the highest level of authenticity and attraction.
• Certified Genuine Whitetail Buck Urine: Collected from a single mature buck. Simulates the presence of a dominant buck in the area.
• Double-Drag-Rag System: Two absorbent drag rags attached to a single tow rope. Designed for easy and efficient scent dispersal.

These specifications matter because they directly impact the effectiveness of the system. The use of certified urine from single animals ensures a consistent and potent scent. The double-drag-rag system allows for a more realistic and complex scent trail than simply placing scent wicks near your stand.

Performance & Functionality

The system’s strength lies in its ability to create a realistic and dynamic scent trail. One area for potential improvement might be a more durable tow rope for the drag rags, as the current one feels a bit flimsy. Overall, the system meets and exceeds my expectations.

The system is user-friendly, with minimal learning curve. The clear instructions make it easy to set up and use correctly.

There aren’t really any customization options for this specific product. However, you could experiment with different scent dispersal techniques, such as using scent bombs in conjunction with the drag rags. Be sure to use bold and italic text where necessary to emphasize important points.
