Not sure about their effectiveness, but if they worked as well as they magically do for all these big name hunters on TV I wouldn't mind spending a few hundred on one. They don't work magically for those guys either. They hunt many days and countless hours at some of the best lodges in the country to piece together several hours of footage to compile one season worth of shows.

While ozone is proven to neutralize odors, I don't believe the unit could put out enough o3 to neutralize all of the scent coming off of a person in an open environment. I'm all for trying to reduce scent but I don't think it can be done real time and their commercials piss me off
Just hunt smart and hunt the wind, use that money for something better This is a smart man!

I use the word magically with sarcasm. It's all about business when it comes to the promotion of most things like the ozonics. I know it takes several, several hours of footage to produce one season of quality shows and I know they put their work in. I just hate to hear them on the commercials saying the ozonics was their sole reason for success on that once in a lifetime buck.

Bpro,
I guess Im in the minority on this board but I use Ozonics and feel it works. I do my best to hunt the wind but the great majority of places I hunt are hills and hollows so to speak so rarely do I get a perfect steady wind in one direction.
I bought the 200 last year prior to bow season and had several very close encounters with non shooter bucks and does before shooting a nice buck at around 35 yards. Now there is no way I can say it helped or didn't help but heck it gives me confidence. I will say you are wasting your time running it with a strong wind but with steady mild wind I have mine on at all times.
Downsides--if you hunt all day or even morning sit, take a break then hunt PM get another battery bc you are going to get around 4-5 hours max with the battery they give you. Otherwise I don't have a lot of complaints about the unit. I have noticed the 300 myself and would like to see how much more ozone the machine makes. A lot of times a good dose of confidence in the stand can be just as big of an asset as any piece of hunting equipment.

Thank you for all the input! I walk approximately a mile to where I hunt. I have had the same doe pick me up on two seperate occasions. The first time she intersected my down wind. She didn't blow or stomp, just looked at me hard and hastily walked away. Second time, I think she just checked the tree.
I think I am going to waste the money on it and try it, but still deciding.
By the way, I am hunting a refuge, I don't get the luxury of a heated, scent proof, wind proof 5 star shooting house. I choose to hike in where grandpa lives. I just want to make sure my stink is not what gives me away.
Again, thank you everyone!

Hunt the wind, and spray a little scent killer on your clothes the night before if it makes you feel better. I certainly don't have near the experience that most on this board have, but I hunt on a budget. I wear regular old camo clothes, no scent-lok stuff. I don't use ozonics or any other fancy scent equipment. I spray my boots and my outer layer with scent killer spray the night before - it's cheap. I don't know if it helps but I figure for a few dollars, might as well. I try to hunt the wind as much as possible.
While I don't have the experience most have, I've had, on many occasions, deer surrounding me in a stand, oblivious to my presence. I've had them literally rub up against my ladder stands with me in them. I can think of a LOT of hunting equipment I'd like to spend $300 on (or even an out of state license and gas money to hunt different places) before I'd spend it on something like ozonics.
YMMV
