I use the Code Blue electric dispenser, drags and hanging scents and also some cover scents. Do they work the same from year to year?
yes...If they are kept cool and out of sun-light.
check with the manufacturer. They have a vested interest in having you buy their product so they will tell you the best methods of storing and best used by dates.
Hi...
Can't comment on scents for deer hunting...but trapping scents/lures can be good for many years.
I don't think deer attractants are any good when they are new and fresh, and it's all downhill from there:-)
I froze a large bottle of Doe Estrous this year after shooting a couple bucks before and during the rut. I will let you know next season how it held up to freezing and whether or not it was effective.
I promise you some of it you purchase off the shelf is over a year old.
I bought a code blue last year and didn't opening it yet. I was still using my other code blue up.
I like Steve's freezing the bottle idea. What scares me is some liquids expand when it freezes and could break or crack the bottle.
