Neat perspective, I feel very similar.Getting away from our technology-overdependent world is half the reason I hunt in the first place. You couldn't pay me to bring a modern gadget into the woods with me.

not a believer in open air ozone emitters. In fact, this may be the greatest gimmick ever, next to the hecs suit
Westdesign03,I have to say I was quite a skeptic too. But did an experiment when I got my first scent slammer throw and go. Put it and a freshly stinky pair of socks into a closed tote. Let the ozone run for 5 min I think. Took out the socks and it was “almost” as if they had run through the washing machine. I was amazed.
Maybe you are talking about ozone in the tree or blind with you while hunting, but I do think it at least helps with your clothes.

All of the above...hunt wind, odor reduction, stealthy access routes. Don't rely on just one tactic. Do it all...it adds up.
Most definitely, wind is number 1...to an extent. But we cannot control where a deer will walk. Even hours after dark, when we are snug in our beds, deer are exploring the odors that we leave behind. And odor dissipates with time and the weaker the initial odor is, the sooner that it becomes not alarming to deer.It does all add up. But the number one thing is the wind. No matter what you can’t beat their nose, you can make it seem like you’re farther away but you can’t eliminate scent completely. If the wind isn’t right they’re going to smell you

Hunters that are limited to smaller properties and fewer feasible stand locations need to reduce as many odors as possible in order the minimize educating deer. Educated deer are more nocturnal and more difficult to hunt.
Hunting the wind is great, when you can actually depend that it won't screw you, but that is a pipe dream on lots of properties...especially small properties with challenging access routes and minimal stand possibilities. Not enough hunters understand the concept of fringe odors. Odor busts are not an all-or-nothing deal. Odor comes in a range of intensities and is detected (or not) under a lot conditions of wind, humidity, distance, and time. Not to mention the individual deer's tolerance for our presence.
