Ozonics (and scent control in general)

Save your money and climb higher in the tree

Watched a hunting show last night and every hunt they had one with them. Heck, didn’t matter if they were in a box stand or lock on. As for me, not buying into it. Play the wind and wash yourself/clothes. I also don’t cook and bs in my hunting clothes, when I come in from a hunt I change.

I use one every time I go in the woods. Sometimes I take two, if the wind is light and switching directions. It might be all mental, but they seem to work. I still play the wind, but I see more deer come from downwind when I use it.

I use sent free everything though and have a crush closet. I might go two days without even showering at the camp if I don’t get sweaty, though. A must have in my opinion if you bow hunt a lot. They don’t way that much anyway.

gimmick

If you're in an enclosed space (ground blind preferably although a box stand is still somewhat applicable), then it works. If you're hunting our or a ladder, climber, tripod or lockon, then it likely isn't worth the effort.

As someone stated previously, consistent wind direction is a huge help.

I wear scentlok clothing and ozone it between hunts. Shower with unscented soaps and use unscented deodorant. I have noticed big improvements over just using scent killing sprays. Of course I play the wind also. If I am really set on hunting a stand and the wind doesn’t cooperate, I use the ozone machine I built based on the archery talk thread linked above. But I am convinced that ozone treatment of clothing is a huge benefit, and I would’ve swore it was all bs before I tried it.

I’ve never worried about any of that shite.

I've never used one, but a buddy bought one to try and increase his chances on killing a monster buck he had on camera. The buck would never come into bow range for almost a month, so I told him to leave it at home. He killed the buck on the next hunt. Like my Dad and many others have said, bucks don't get that big by being stupid.

In a box they may work with scent going out of window.

But, hanging in a tree? No way. There is no way all of your scent is mixing with the ozonics. A deer can smell extremely good.

Plus, I don't want to breath that stuff.

absolute must have when there is no wind and temp is mild to hot>
