    We'll, placed the order and purchases the HR-200 Ozonics unit. I hunt from stands. Practice detailed scent management. Researched a lot this off-season. Any experience with ozonics anyone can share?

    How about some $30 rubber bracelets with a hunk of kryptonite in it for balance? You are kidding right?
    Detailed scent management? A labadoodle can smell a bag of dope thru a semi tire at the border in 100 degree weather and 400 idling cars with 6 taco stands burning tamales but a whitetail's nose will be fooled with products from aisle 4-14 at Cabelas? If any masking products worked wouldn't the drug cartels be buying boatloads of it? Always play the wind.

    The wind is key. I think scent control is blown way out of proportion. I don't care how strict your routine is, if your odor actually gets to a deers nose (via wind, thermals) they are going to smell you. They might or might not spook but you can never completely eliminate human odor.

    Gentleman above said it right. Scent control is the money maker in the hunting industry. Remember natives back in the day killed deer all day long in a speedo, sweating his *** off and probably didnt bathe for weeks.

    I seriously wear camo for my own sake I think it looks cool and gets me in the hunting Mood. And since im canadian its cold during the season and hunting gear is made for bearing the weather. I bet you I would still manage to shoot a deer if I stood out there in a borat bathing suit though.

    Don't fall for the hype of having the best gear and gadgets. Stick to the basics and that's it. Get hidden, get downwind, stay quite and pray.

    And another side note to me a ozonics would actually give a scent. If anyone knows what ozone is but it has a strong smell. And if I can smell it a deer can for sure. And yes ozone happens naturally in a storm but a deer knows it doesn't happen all of a sudden as he passes one tree on a sunny day. A smart buck if anything is not exactly the same as normal, see ya.

    Ahh, the Ozonics debate. You guys crack me up. You know absolutely nothing about Ozone generators and what they are designed to do, how well the work or their capabilities. Truth is these have been around for many years. Nope, not in hunting but, the food industry. Cross contamination is a huge issue in the food industry and I don't mean transmitting a germ either. Cross contamination refers to anything foreign transferring from its origin to another. Smells are one of them. As a matter of fact food manufacturers do not even let their production employees wear anything scented such as cologne. Ozone generators have been used to sanitize and completely eliminate all odor for many years and they work!!

    Drug cartels don't use it because it can't be put into a liquid form or any other form like a gas because to produce it there has to be a constant generating source. Hmm, can you put that in an airtight tire that has to spin? Maybe but then that would have to have a power source which would cause tracing issues as in a police officer would see it. Lets not mention drug dealers/smugglers aren't usually the most advanced individuals. Truth is, Ozone generators work and have for years.

    When I can afford to spend $400 on an Ozonics unit, I will and I will also still hunt the wind. The Ozonics will be more of a security incase they come in from down wind or I just can't get positioned in a certain hot spot.

    How do you know what people do or do not know? This is funny coming from you because it wasn't that long ago that you were the one on here arguing with everyone about everything archery because you knew it all.

    I didn't know it all. I did argue some. Mine was more trying to pic the minds of people to really see how I was wrong and to get answers as to why I was. I learned a lot through that. Yes it was abrasive and unconventional but, it got answers.

    The only things I recall arguing about is arrow weight an speeds. I haven't been in that many arguments.

    The point I was disagreeing with here was the Ozonics not working and it being a marketing ploy to just make money.

    From the comments I saw and was commenting on, they seemed to be uneducated statements.

    Maybe I should have said it seems they know every little rather than absolutely nothing.

    Maybe if I had the money and hunting in a ground blind but I don't have a reason to spend that kind of money to haul it around with me every time I hunt in a tree (which is about 99% of the time). I like my Dead Down Wind and playing the wind; I seem to do fine without an Ozonics.

    You are also stating these work in a controlled environment. Using this product outdoors when wind can still turn and twist on you doesnt seem to be of too much help. If your all about spending loads of money to kill a buck or anything of that matter doesnt seem like you treasure hunting too much. And stating we all no nothing clearly does not start off right trying to make yourself out to be the almighty-know-it-all.

    I don't want this debate to get out of hand because I deffinitly have seen this exact debate many times, but I have filmed behind one for my friend and it seemed to work really well. At one point a doe came from behind us wind blowing right at her and she was feet away from the blind. While it works in my opinion I do not want to spend that much nor do I feel like lugging it around.

    See I can see it being much more useful in a blind. Original post had stated it was being used for stands. Ive had deer come within 2 feet of my blind to look in and that was without that gear. Still debatable. All I hope for is that it helps a little bit for all that money.

    Sorry but you sound like a idiot. No offence. What experience do you have with ozone? Let me tell you about myself. I have 7 years building large scale water purification systems and have built ozonators on those units. Ozone has been used in water industry and yes food Industry for years. And yes it does kill odours. But here is the thing, the subjects who we use to decide if something has or does not have odour??? Humans. Dogs, deer and many other animals have a sense of smell thousands times stronger the ours. Thousands!!!!! When ozone is used in food and water it's used in a sealed environment you tard, they don't just sprinkle it in the air in the factory. When ozone is used in water it's in a pressurized tank where the gas has time to actually work. It's used to kill bacteria in the water. So if I take a ozonics and set it on my dock I should just be able to take a cup of water right of the lake after right??? Based on your knowledge.

    Blowing ozone near you outside where wind will push it where it wants won't do anything but in my opinion alert a smart deer. He will smell the ozone as ozone has a very distinct smell. If you have ever been exposed to it, which I doubt you have you would know this.

    You my friend don't talk unless you have something to back it up with. I do as I build, fix and install ozone units every single day.

    Here's a experiment take a dump in the bathroom with your ozonics running and tell me if it still stinks??? Invite your wife in to judge. I'm sure you will sleep on the couch after that.

    That is really good stuff. I think I will need another hangon stand now for all my much needed gadgets to fool the next swamp donkey.

    And you stating I must not treasure hunting to much is any different?

    I don't know it all but, I do know Ozone generators work to eliminate odor.

    This is a product I believe works. You don't or so it seems.
