Ozonics hr 200 and whitetail surge 50

[SK33T3R]

I've used an HR200 for 3 seasons now and love it
I've actually had deer feeding in a food plot downwind and the battery run out and they winded me quickly afterwards
the amount of deer I see coming from downwind is pretty crazy now

I had nine deer in a food plot downwind for about an hour. some we under 15 yds. I just sat there amazed because this is NOT supposed to happen. ALL of a sudden one whipped up it's head and took off. The rest looked at her like she was nuts. Then within seconds a few heads spun around and faced towards me. Off they went! WTF?! The Ozonics just died. I now had another Ozonics moment! HAH!

The fella I hunt with would tell you 100% that ozone had no effects on black flies during spring bear

WELL! I have a question! This will be a change for me because I usually have all the answers.

Did anyone use their Ozonics during this spring bear season?
I was curious if it reduced the bugs in any way.
Mosquitos use your body heat and other gaseous (CO2 I think) bodily secretions to find you.
I was wondering if the ozone affected them. I sure hope so!

Have been Black bear hunting in New Brunswick for the last 7 years and it can be pretty buggy by times.
The last three years I have been using an Ozonics HR 200. It seems to really help with scent control but not with the bugs. I typically use a Thermacell to get rid of some of the bugs. If the Thermacell is downwind of the Ozonics the bugs seem to be all over me.
Point being....put the Thermacell just upwind of you and the Ozonics a foot downwind of you.

Thanks Willy

I've used both units extensively but not together. Since my bear hunts have all been fall hunts for 15 yrs bugs are not too much of a concern. But I would not hesitate to use both in a spring condition.
I hunted a lot of springs before the spring hunt was shut down and got by with permethrin and duct tape. never, ever got bit hunting. Only at camp lazing around have a beer or two. careless I guess!

Going up next week to start 5 baits ... mosquitos will be bad and deer flies will be worse! Yikes!

This has been a great thread. So much great information that i picked up a scentlok enforcer. 146 bucks. Works for your clothes and can be used in the field. I believe these units will avoid with scent busts that happen and you never even know.

That scent lok enforcer seems too small to me to be effective in an open environment like a treestand. Probably ok in a ground blind I run a scent purge in my hunting closet the night before i hunt. Then I trust my Ozonics unit in the field. Just bought the newest one.
