Ozonics Scent Elimination
Do these work well for hunting out of blinds? Who here uses them. Worth the money?

[luckyman]

Anybody?

I have seen them on TV, have no idea if they work.

I have seen where they used them in hunting blinds on utube videos. They claim that they work. I can’t vouch for it.

[luckyman]

Well, I'm thinkin  I may have to try it. I have some time to look into it more. Late archery whitetail.

Nobody I know would waste their money on one. You can't cover human scent up 100%.

So are you saying if you can't ever cover human scent 100% then no form of scent control is worth it? What if it or something else covered 99% or 75% or 50% or 20% of human scent ?

Nothing can cover human scent. You breathe/exhale, sweat, shed skin cells etc. Ladies wear makeup ( at least on TV ) using the Ozinator.
I believe it works little bit, maybe, but not much. I've hunted for 45 years and have had bears 8 feet from me with no scent eliminator. I don't know of any product, even for clothes, that can eliminate odors or smells. Animal have a higher degree of sensitivity for odors than man.

How much is the Ozinator ?

I agree you can't get rid of it all together but their are things you can do to minimize it. If a deer winds you at 40 yards instead of 80 yards then that could be the difference between getting a shot or not.

Very true. Our cover up in the older days, was to stand around the fire and get our clothes smelling like a smokey campfire..

It looks like there are ozonics machines available from $100 to $500.
I don’t doubt that they can help to mask and reduce human scent.
The old school methods like grinding your boots into a pile of elk droppings and rubbing fir or pine branches on your clothing, or some of the new sprays and scent lock clothing help to reduce scent also. The difference between a deer getting a nose full of strong human scent VS a faint whiff, might make the difference between getting snorted at or killing one.

Get the wind in your favor, nobody mentioned this yet?

Best solution for sure. Even setting up downwind with a stand or blind isn’t a sure thing. The wind is fickle and will betray you at the worst possible time. I know that from experience.

I'm a non believer... Today I had 5 blacktails by my crappy burlap blind at 10 or less yards. Wind blowing right to them, and all I can smell is my pepperoni sticks from last year's muley.

I'd save my money. Unless you smell freakishly bad 

[luckyman]

Here's the thing. I hunt out of blinds made of branches and logs. Set up wind of active areas. Wind is checked often and come at me from many directions. Bear will walk right to the blind. Does will bust me 60 yards out and bucks (Whitetail) seem to walk into the wind and come up my back side not using much of any trail. Bear are not the problem. Whitetail bucks and blind are. They bust me every time. Tree stands seem to work but I no longer can sit long in one. The price of Ozonics doesn't matter if they work. I'm looking for opinion from people that have  tried it.
