Ozonics

Are you sure they wouldn't use it if it was available to them?

 

So you know the extent of my experience and also know that they don't work in a hunting environment? Because you know how hunting units are built and how they perform. I know how it is used in a food facility as I am a supervisor at one!

I hope you don't expect to build your case or gain anything from calling people unnecessary names and such. Maybe I shouldn't have said they know nothing but, I sure didn't call them idiots or tards

 

Chago nailed it. I may try a fan to blow my scent up in the air to keep deer from being alerted. This is the budget way to get the job done

 

I see the commercials and ads in bowhunter but never fell for the hype. I would rather play the wind than risk losing a big buck on a contraption lol.

 

I'd rather just continue to keep the clothes clean and in the scent tote, keep up with what the wind is doing and save myself $400 on some contraption I would have to tote into the woods with me......just sayin, no need for all the hostilities on this thread! :p

 

Sorry I just hate when someone who in fact doesn't know what ozone is tells me that I don't.

So your factory uses one? Can you explain to us all how it works? How it generates ozone? How long ozone needs to oxidize at all?

I don't need to know how the "hunting units" work. I understand how ozone and ozonators works. That's like telling a mechanic you know how trucks for personal use work, but can you fix a truck for a hunter???? It's the same principal and based on your lack of facts posts again I will continue to call you a tard. I put forth facts and you responded with a solid "I know ozonators work in hunting". Did you explain how you know? Did your good friend tell you he killed a big buck with one and that must be because of the ozonics unit?

I will repeat for you again. For ozone to work it needs to be in a sealed environment so it has time to oxidize. For instance back to water, in order for the ozone to kill any bacteria whatsoever our minimum is to pump ozone into a sealed tank for at least 1 minute. Most commercial systems we run for 4 minutes. Then after its been running we then need to use exhaust pumps to pump out the ozone. Why you ask??? Because remember what I said before??? Ozone smells! Very strong smell. So we pump it out allowing the smell out.

So any of you who own a ozonics and say it has no smell? Well that only tells me it's nothing more then a fan, or if it is in fact releasing ozone it's so little that it can't do a damn thing anyways.

Although what do I know, your clearly the expert. You already said they use one at your work. That makes you qualified.

 

Sounds like you have all the experience needed to make an educated data based statement that it does not in fact work in a hunting situation. You're right. You're the expert. I bow out!

 

Geese some people need to calm down.

 

I would like to see bowhunting.com do a test with video footage. Post the video on here and youtube for all to see. There are no concrete facts on how many thousand times a deer and a dogs nose are better than ours. Lets leave the bloodhound (too good, some claim 1,000,000 times better) out of it and go with some other well trained dog for scents. Put the dog in a closed environment and a hunting situation with the ozonics unit and see if the dog can still smell what it is trained to smell. Leave out of the equation whether or not the dog can smell an odor produced by the ozonics unit. I would love to see the results. I will buy a ticket to see the video and make some popcorn.

 

Dog smells it then takes a leak on ozonics. I've already seen that movie lol

 

It's science. Maybe if you zip-lined in a bubble suit to your stand , with an extension cord and a generator attached, just maybe. I am sure the national average for deer tag success is through the roof with this new invention.

 

Is that like the pot calling the kettle an off-white color? No OFFENSE.

Fact is none of the people who say "scent reduction is a fraud" have actually killed an animal that was downwind. They ONLY hunt the wind, and they get busted by downwind deer. People who practice full scent reduction routines can say they've killed a deer dead downwind.

Now, naysayers can argue that its a waste of money, but then I shot that buck 18 yards away DEAD DOWNWIND. So you can laugh at me for showering, doing laundry, dressing in the field, spraying down, but I get the last laugh by not having to worry about hunting the wind and still sticking a deer.

Now, I am not speaking for ozonics.

 

So you're positive that your scent regimen can beat the nose of a whitetail? I do almost zero scent control and have killed deer downwind. The only difference is I understand that just because the deer is down wind doesn't actually mean it can smell me. Many things (wind, thermals, trees, etc.) can change the direction of the wind and cause it to go above or around the deer. Have you ever taken cattail fibers and released them from your tree? You'll see that just because the deer is "down wind" doesn't mean that you scent is going anywhere near that deer. Have you ever been winded by a deer?

 

Wow, I feel like I am back on AT with all of this macho typing.

I do not have one, but I have a wealthy buddy who swears by it. The one thing he complains about often is the noise of the fan.

 

Lets take a deep breath......

...ahhhhh.

 

Man this thread has turned into the rut, testosterone everywhere! Relax ladies.....

 

If you have been around an ozone machine or anyone who uses one to "clean" the air in their home you'd know that it has a VERY distict odor. Play the wind best you can but keep in mind, that it is impossible to play the wind more than a few fet in any direction in a forested area, becuase the trees create all sorts of turbulence.

 

I wouldn't use ozonics products even if I knew they worked. They don't fit in to MY concept of hunting.

If someone else wants to us them, have at it, I don't care in the least.

 

Enjoy blowing out your good spots by not hunting the wind.

If you've got deer dead down wind of you & not smelling you, it's not only because of your scent control.

For example, last year I was in a stand and had a doe come from the wrong direction- dead down wind of me. I thought I was done for, but she never did bust me, and I couldn't figure out why she wasn't winding me. She was almost level with me, on a rise in front of me and about 25yds out, with a very light breeze blowing towards her. I shoulda been toast. Then I threw out a piece of milk weed fuzz, and that fuzz blew out and lifted damn near it straight into the air, over the does back.

Pretty neat. I learned I can hunt that stand with the "wrong" wind, on a frosty morning with less than a 2mph breeze. But not because of my scent control, but because of the thermal in that location.

I am a scent control nut, but I know better than to think I can fool a mature buck's (or doe's) nose.

 

Very good and accurate post.
