Default RE: code blue doe estrus is fake

You spend $36 on pee, but I bet you didn't keep the tarsal glands off that doe you took.

Sorry, had to rag on you a little bit. But seriously, one of the best lures I have ever found is real buck/doe tarsal glands. Cut them off while they are still fresh, and put them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. When you go out to hunt the next time hang one of them up. They will work better than anything you can buy in a store.

You can even go down to the processor, most times they will let you get all you want. Wait 'till the rut is just kicking off and go down there. Look for ones that are dark. The darker the better, they will get nearly black before the doe goes into estrous. You can also watch the color of the tarsal glands on the does on your trail camera to help keep track of how close it is getting to the rut.
