Ozonics

[JimFromTN]

Does anyone use ozonics when they are hunting hogs? I hunt primarily from blinds over bait and have been winded before. Just wondering if it might be a worthwhile investment.

I made an ozone generator rather than buy one. I hunt from a tower over bait at night. Other than hearing a sounder I had no way of knowing where a lone boar came from. Pigs are not born with a fear of human odor. It is learned. I have had sounders cross down wind of me and not be bothered! Just my thought but if I can smell ozone why can't they? How long does it take before they link ozone with danger? Ozoning your hunting clothes in cooler weather, maybe! I realized no help before the transformer burned up that I could tell!

The bottom line is that ozone does work, but for it to work, it needs to be in a concentration that is decidedly unhealthy for people and the ozonics machine does not produce such concentrations of ozone and it is not intended to be used where such concentrations would build up.

I use it on my clothes and have one blind where deer clearly would wind me. After I finally figured out how to set it up it indeed did work. Seems to work more often than not.

I might add ive tried everything including scent lock and nothing else seems to work. This seems to.

Huge skeptic here. I used one on a few occasions. Had whitetail know something was up, but they just couldn't tell where or how far. 15yds a doe hit my scent line covered with the Ozonics. I was preparing for blast off, but she just looked far with head high. Away from me. I couldn't believe it. Bucks did the same thing two more times. The ozonics seems to dilute smell enough that it makes them think we are far away.

HME makes one that is rechargeable and cost $50

From what I can tell it works as good as Ozonics in a blind.
