Aren't the deer alarmed by the smell of fire?
I have a wood pile my my feeder. It smoked for a week and the deer walked right past it.

My son is a smoker. Was, I guess, is a better way of putting it. He now uses a smoke spray made locally (I think @SCSaddleman knows the guy that makes it). He gave me a bottle late last season and it does, indeed, smell like smoke, lol.
He swears by it and says he gets the same results from the spray.
This is exactly where I am on it. Last year I smoked my clothes/body/gear/boots/bow. Ended up doing it before every hunt. Looking back, that may have been excessive. Believe it will at the beginning of the season this time and maybe once again about midway through.I think the smoke rendering bacteria growth plays more of a roll than the cover scent. There is definitely more going on than just a cover scent. But I don’t need to know why. I just need the confidence in it.
I seen some at Walmart. Different brand. I don’t know if that will work the same as actual smoke.

O3 will definitely deodorize clothing and gear but it has no effect on odor PREVENTION on gear or your body.I didn't notice a big difference between my cheapo Amazon ozone machine and smoking except for a headache and smokey clothes. I tried it last year towards the end of season. It's easier for me to drop a little rechargable portable ozone unit into my sealed bag or cooler I use to store my clothes in than to light a fire, hang all my clothes up and try to get each piece smoked.
Oh great @huntin_addict, please provide detailed info on how one goes about following the WYCOIFYP.Side note, I haven't washed my hunting clothes in at least 5 years. Still punching multiple tags yearly.
Hey I'd like to see that homemade bee smoker...I have a blind my Dad gave me several years ago. I set it up. Put all my stuff inside and then start a homemade bee smoker inside. I do this a few days before season and don't do it again for the whole season.

Get yourself an old school percolating coffee pot from Wally World, drill a few holes in sides at the bottom for air, start small fire inside then put lid on top. Easy peasy.Hey I'd like to see that homemade bee smoker...
