Ozonics HR-200 Review.

     Scent prevention and elimination is a major concern for anyone seeking to get within the same area code of mature whitetail.   Over my years of hunting, I have went from smoking on the stand to being one of those guys that is a scent freak.  Yes  I killed deer while smoking but I have killed allot more deer since I stopped.  Sure I killed deer before watching my scent, but I have killed allot more since I began managing my scent.  As I began to Bowhunt more and more, this is about the same time I began taking scent free bathes, wearing scent prevention camo, using scent spray, and that has led me to the Ozonics. 
     From the Ozonics website it claims " Ozonics transforms oxygen molecules into ozone molecules and, with a silent fan, projects them downwind out over your scent zone where these unstable molecules bond with your scent molecules, rendering them unrecognizable to deer and other scent-savvy game."   Also from the Ozonics website they recommend  "

Use Ozonics in your treestand or ground blind.

Mount Ozonics above you in your tree or in the window of your ground blind and face it downwind. Ozonics exclusive Game Changer Technology electronically changes oxygen molecules (O₂) into ozone molecules (O₃) and projects them downwind with a quiet fan. The heavier ozone molecules fall through your scent zone. Because ozone molecules are extremely unstable, they bond with any molecule they come near (scent molecules) rendering them indistinguishable to the nose of the deer. The bottom line: you will notice a drastic reduction in the number of deer that smell you."

     I used the Ozonics HR-200 while on a trip to Alabama.   My friend had a bowhunting only area and requested I use the device.   I hunted the majority of the morning perched on a tripod near a green field.    Several deer came down wind of me and seemed not to smell me.  I can tell you from personal experience that I get busted regularly with scent-free bathes, scent inhibiting clothing, as well as spraying myself down good.   This item appears to work.
     My buddy used the Ozonics on Illinois trip as well as on his hunting property.  He claims great success and has even harvested several mature bucks while using the Ozonics.   On his first trip using the product, he harvested a 150 plus inch buck.   He is sold and has about sold your truly.
     Negatives:   The battery on this model seem to last about 4 to 5 hours.  That is pretty good for a regular hunt but not for a all day rut hunt.   You probably should buy an extra battery which aren't necessarily that the cheap.  The Ozonics unit I tested is pricey as well.   You can easily sink $300 to $400 dollars into one of these.
     Positives:  It seems to work!  Ok, I believe nothing can totally eliminate scent but it does seem to really help.  I had deer down wind.   I have talked to several people with the same experiences.  Have you priced a scent prevention suit lately----one of these units isn't that bad relatively speaking.   The unit was easy to use, had no malfunctions, and I can speak for my buddy who has used one for two seasons---He is hooked.
     Bringing all this back to the Bowhunter.  This may be a product you should try.   I am all about trying to help prevent scent.   Being on the Prostaff member of NC Real Outdoors (http://www.ncrealoutdoors.com) has also forced me to get our my box and try new things so I can help others with their purchases.   This is one of those purchases that I recommend.  I know its one more toy in my already heavy backpack, but I think I will add one of these in the near future.   Shoot Straight!
