my thought is anyone will say anything if the money is right.The thing is the deer could be busting you and you dont even know it if you knew there was a 200 inch buck in the area would you trust it to hunt that deer not caring what the wind was doing or would you just hunt the wind?

Yes, save yourself the money. I have been hunting out of fifteen foot ladder stands for years with no cover scent, just staying down wind. I have had many deer come in behind me and the only times I was busted was just a couple of times the wind happened to be swirriling to the deer. I do use scent free soap and detergent and hang my clothes outside to dry, but thats pretty much it. Go up higher in a stand than I do and I would not worry about scent much at all if you are down wind. Go kill one!

It works! I used it a lot last year. I was sold on after reading about it on Fox News and they were worried about it throwing off drug dogs.

The nose of a whitetail deer has up to 297 million olfactory receptors, dogs have 220 million.

Ozone generating devices (Ozonics) will chemically destroy human odor molecules as well as airborne bacteria and viruses (many doctor's offices use them in waiting rooms)...
The battery powered ones should work well in an enclosed blind (limited area)...in open air, the effect may not be worth the effort...
Whether the cost vs benefit and willingness to carry the device is up to you...
I do not use one as I always position my stands according to the wind direction (preferably in areas where deer cannot get down wind of me)... One other minor note is that I have had amazing luck with the deer that do get down wind of me in the last couple of years when I have been using a Thermocell...
