Inattention to human scent when deer hunting is akin to a scope that’s off zero or a loose sight pin on a bow. Scent precautions matter, and the amount of human scent you emit directly affects the number of deer you see. Worse, many deer in a downwind direction will detect your presence before you see them, and their alerted behavior can have a domino affect even on deer that can’t smell you.
One of the newest approaches to the scent elimination science is the introduction of ozone in a hunting stand or blind. Ozone eliminates human odor, not just masks it. On a recent safari in Africa, hunters at one blind used the Ozonics unit extensively and reported excellent results. Since the blinds often had multiple guides and trackers, the more people, the greater the problem. Fortunately, the ozone generator was the perfect solution.
Many ardent hunters have turned to Ozonics to escape this rat race. The beauty of the Ozonics unit is that it does not suppress human odors, it destroys them. The HR-200 continuously produces ozone, a colorless gas and powerful oxidizing agent that destroys human odor and any other carbon-based odor. The unit is battery operated, which allows a small amount of electricity to be introduced to oxygen. In the presence of electricity, oxygen molecules fracture and temporarily turn into ozone molecules. These ozone molecules bond with scent/odor molecules and begin breaking them down instantly. Unlike carbon-based clothing, this continual destruction of human scent is what keeps you undetected.
Regardless of what scent-free clothing measures you decide to take, simply mount the easy-to-use HR-200 above your treestand or in the window of your ground blind, and the unit will do the rest. Installation of the HR-200 takes only minutes, and a whisper-quiet fan will instantly begin projecting ozone molecules downwind of your position. This heavier-than-human-odor ozone falls through your scent zone, destroying it and making your odor unrecognizable to deer.Could a passing buck get a whiff of you? It’s possible. A buck may get a whiff of you when he’s 30 yards from your tree, but the amount of odor is so small, he’ll believe you’re much further away and not a threat. Weather conditions and wind directions can change at a moment’s notice, and in many cases they can ruin the best strategy for a particular stand or hunt. So while as mother nature can be very unpredictable, Ozonics is not.
