I have been trying out the Wildgame Zero Trace. I have been using it for the last 7 days and the jury is still out on it.
I have been bowhunting for 30+ years and always washed my clothes in baking soda, showered before hunts, and used natural vegatation for cover up scents. Nowadays, I use Dead Down Wind soaps, sprays, and laundry detergent. I do not wear my clothes in the truck down to the farm- only get dressed once I get there and transport the clothes in a carbon lined bag. I have been trying all of the precautions.
We have an abundance of hogs. I think that a mature boar can smell better than a whitetail and I have been busted 3 times in the last couple of weeks.
I purchased 1 of these units- run it on 50%, and have had multiple hogs and deer all over me directly downwind within 5 + yards while still doing all of the precautions previously mentioned. Yesterday evening at dark getting out of the stand, I had a big sow nearly step on my bow when I lowered it down from the climbing stand. It takes me another minute or 2 to gather up m belongings and a group came right under me and was rooting around. I had to run them off when I got down.
Does it work??? I am skeptical about anything of this nature but it has seem to help me some with the downwind encounters.

i agree on you cant always just "hunt the wind." where i am deer come from almost every direction, there really isnt a perfect wind, i hunt the good winds and hope for the best.
Kinda like scent spray. Does it work for sure? I don’t know. But it raises your confidence haha. I really believe if I didn’t have it I wouldn’t have killed that deer.
I shot him on my 4th sit this season. It was money well spent.

We all us them.Originally posted by trophy8 View PostI killed my 165” deer this year. And will say I truly believe ozonics works. I saw way more deer from all directions. It died one morning and I had deer down wind that were calm while it was running. Once it died they were out pretty quick. I’ve had deer downwind well within bow range. Mature deer.

He came back very spooky around 5 minutes later allowing me to pull off the shot. It was really hot that day and I was drenched in sweat. Fooling a mature boars nose made me a believer for sure!

Watch the classifieds for used. I found one for $150....See them for $175-200 all the time.
Lotta folks selling their 200s to get the new 300s.

I use that and the Scent Crusher bag and I've gotten 3 more hunting buddies hooked on those products after they saw results. Tried every scent spray on the planet and always got blowed at. The only one that worked a little was Buck Bomb Doe P. When I started using Scent Crusher in 2016 I've hardly ever been winded. I'm not saying it's 100% fool proof but I've seen more deer in the woods down wind for sure then before. I still hunt the wind and take all the precautions necessary but I don't even bother wasting money on Scent Sprays anymore.
