Deer hunting would sure be a different game if there were actually a magic spray that makes them not smell you.

Lets add this "ozonics" contraption. Anybody ever smelled ozone? If you have you know what I am talking about. Tell me that won't alert a deer.

Have to agree there,it's going to take a heck of a lot of convincing to get me to buy that.I doubt I would,to much extra weight for me.

I used to have an Ozone air cleaner in my house. It worked but you could definitely smell the air coming out of it.

I don't believe in cover scents and I certainly don't believe in scent elimination. But I'm with the scent reduction crowd. I just believe that doing my best to keep my gear and clothing from smelling like a locker room helps. I don't know what it's like to be a deer but I have to think that if you and your clothing smell less strongly that the deer may think you are a little farther away than you actually are should they catch your scent. PLUS, the wind swirls a lot or gusts in various directions, so many times there is no "downwind".

Yesterday I had deer come from upwind. Shot one and they scattered. One ran downwind of me and remained downwind despite the crack from my muzzleloader. She came back towards me and hung out under my stand for a bit. Maybe her nose was broken, but I wonder if she still would have been hanging around if I had just taken a crap on my stand and had hung my clothes in the kitchen instead of outside.

One "cover" scent I am curious about is that Evercalm stuff. Not that it covers your scent, but could it trick the deer into thinking more deer are in the same area as my scent, and that all is OK? In other words that my scent is just a lingering scent and not because I'm physically in the woods any longer, and that other deer are there now; coast clear.
