Ozonics, proper placement?

1st report:
Saturday evening, myself and a buddy were set up on an oak flat on public ground.
We were both running Ozonics.
We had hunted the morning, gotten lunch, and scouted a fair amount.
He sprayed down with scent killer spray, I didn’t, and we both wore the same clothes all day.
We were 43 yards apart.
We were both 20-25 ft high.
Wind was 5-8 mph NE, so, it was shifting constantly.
From 6:05-8:00 we were literally surrounded, on all sides by deer.
I had a 7 pointer and a 3 pointer under me, eating acorns.
Both small bucks ate acorns 360 degrees around me, within 15 yards.
My buddy had 10+ deer within 40 yards, downhill.
He killed a doe at 30 yards.
The bucks under me, would toss their heads up occasionally, and go back to eating, unalarmed.
Did they smell the ozone? Yes.
Did they smell me, I don’t think so.
It’s the first time, I’ve ever had two guys hunting that close, with deer in so many directions, and never got busted.
So far, I’m impressed.
I’ll keep playing with it.

This is a debate that will never go away. For me personally I baught a unit that is not Ozonics for half the price . The one I have you can also do all you clothes with it and take to the tree, with a few mods to some things. With this I am very cautious with my scent control and wind direction, but will not go into the woods with out it hands down. Is it bulletproof,obviously not and I don't think there is anyone out there that will say it is. Here in NY our hunting pressure is about as heavy as it possibly can get and these deer are SMART! Since I have began using ozone I believe 3 seasons now, I have been busted that i know of 1 time on down wind deer and I believe she saw me move prior to seeing me. Also, the sheer number of deer that approach from the down wind areas has skyrocketed! For me I would almost rather forget my bow going into the woods then my ozone unit!
 
One side note is for me personally swirling winds are much tougher then a constant due to the fact of the ozone distribution and your actual scent stream staying inline, if that makes sence.
