During the rut, you can't go wrong with Standing Estrus by code blue. It has work very well for myself and a couple of guys that I hunt with.

Some things will work at certain times but NOTHING will work EVERYTIME.

i have used all of the sex scents, i have never had any of them to work."even with my cam" lots of money down the drain.now i just focus on my scent and leave the rest up to nature.plus it keeps a few more dollars in my back pocket.seems every year these "real hunter" guys come up with the newest biggest thing thats going to get that big buck..and every one rushes out to buy it"including me at a time" i have found hunting is enjoyed more when i get back to the roots of it,like me and dad did years ago.no fancy camo,no high dollar tree stands,and a gun thats killed more deer in the south than every other gun put together the old 30-30.yep a couple of fried bolony sandwhiches and a littie debbi cake .a lot of laughes and a ton of memorys.i myself wish we all could bring hunting back to what it once was but i am afraid its to late. thanks "primos,bill jordon,ect"

Remember for camera use fine. For hunting molasses, aplles, and a lot of the commercial "fodd" type attractants liek "C'mere Deer" may attract deer but they will also attract Game Wardens!

Thanks everyone for your input about attractants. I too was on the fence about using them this year... However, I think that I will go without and focus on my on scent.
