Hunter Scent Elimination- Ozone and More

Hunter Scent Elimination products are a billion dollar business.  Soap, Laundry Detergent, Scent Eliminating Sprays and Electronic gadgets that get rid of scent.

If the product is manufactured, researched, field tested and marketed correctly, the business is going to rake in big financial rewards.

My friend Larry Weishuhn, many know as Mr. Whitetail, is a believer in Electronic Ozone Products to eliminate odor in clothes and in the field. He says, its the only thing that really worked for him. My research finds that some of these Ozone producing products can be expensive like $300 dollars. BUT! There are smaller portable devices that can cost 1/10th of that. I have a Bone-View Portable Ozone maker that i will be testing out. And Larry is testing one from Ozonic’s

I am a strong believer in scent elimination especially when you are trying to match wits with a mature whitetail buck. I am spending some big dollars on this hunt so spending some of it on scent elimination is vital if you are still hunting or rattling. There is no excuse for clean scent free clothes anyway but often we find that some clothes like hats and leather gloves can’t be washed without destroying them. Ozone, Larry says is the answer, and I believe him. But it is not a magic potion nor a be all end all. You have to watch the wind, stay clean as possible and use your common sense.

Years ago as a young bowhunter, I would wash my clothes without phosphates, and use UV killers and still do, so I dont glow in the dark.

I used pine and cedar with my hunt clothes. Sprayed them with Earth Scents. I often shower with scent elimination soap and hair wash. They all work to a degree. Even Baking Soda is a wise choice to have in your camo clothes pack. A higher PH reduces bacterial growth. I will shower with it and put it on my clothes.

Many today are using carbon clothing and even microbial Silver spray. I have some to use on this hunt too.

I will have some inexpensive breath elimination products too like hydrogen peroxide. I have a dry throat so I carry tart apples with me. I bite a chunk and put it in my cheek. It works the nuts!

I can’t make product recommendations at this time but when I get back!

If you are going on a high dollar value hunt it just makes Scents! Pun Intended.
