Has anyone tried this new tool for eliminating your scent while deer hunting? I watched an ad on one of the sportsman channels. Saw elk within 10 yards supposedly down wind from the hunter unfazed by his presence.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

The science behind ozone killing scent is proven. I have no doubt it can kill scent on your clothing, in a ground blind, etc. But frankly, having an ozone producing unit in the outdoors with all the wind currents and expecting it to eliminate the chance of an animal smelling you, well, that's a little optimistic in my opinion.

That's kind of what I was thinking too. Plus, this is a pretty spendy unit if it isn't effect out in the open. I've had decent luck using a cover scent such as skunk.

Your body constantly sheds dead skin cells and you can't cover your breathe. Save your money and always use the wind.

Never had a problem shooting whitetail with my bow without any kind of gimmick or cover scent. They got that elk up into 10 yards with it but without it I'd of shot it at 20 lol

i have an enerzen generator i use in nuisance work for dead animal removal. i also use it after trapping season in the bed of my capped truck from hauling coyotes. ive tried the portable units archery hunting and really didnt notice anything. dont waste your money on these portable units imo. I bought my generator its for a 5000 square foot building for $85. i treat all my gear in an enclosed closet and hunt the wind

I'd have to say they may have their place if you don't mind the hassle of using one. I'd also say play the wind, don't ever hunt a spot where the wind isn't right, period. I'd also tell a story when I was young and set my first 12 muskrat traps, caught 11 the first night, no bait, no lure. Now if I lured or baited those traps I'd swear by the bait or lure. Ditto on ozonics.

I inspect a lot of fire and smoke losses and I can vouch for the ozone scent elimination concept. As far as the dear huntin sales gimmicks I face the wind when I am huntin so no experience with any of that stuff.

It might be all you need is a HEX suit heck they got a TV show about it b/c it works so good.
