Anybody here tried one yet?

Can't help but think of P.T Barnum.

I know what you mean, I can buy a lot of dead down wind for $400. BTW these guys I've seen pitching this high dollar toy would not make very good carney barkers either.

It's not that I'm against modern hunting gadgets, I just don't see any merit in this product.  I guess because I have several stand sites and hunt based on the wind.  My last two bucks have been shot at less than 30 yards and I've had plenty inside that range.  But, I don't like the scent lock clothes either.

The use of ozone has been around for years in the food and beverage industry to kill bacteria.  That part actually works.  I'm not sure I believe the hype that it prevents deer from picking up your scent.  I guess if you kill a deer down wind and are using it you think it was due to that.  However, you will never know if the same shot would have been presented itself without it.

A shower with unscented soap and I use dead down laundry detergent for my clothes and underclothes and spray my camo with it.

its tough to get scent free enough for an animal to not notice something different.  Even with the best products, they can pick up a hint of something different.  And yet, I've killed deer downwind.    Coyotes are a totally different matter.    I think those critters can tell what you had for breakfast 10 days ago

Here's an article I read the other day from field & stream. Seems like pretty eye opening stuff. It's not perfect testing, but it's a definite start.

Field and Stream would make it suspect from the start for me.

I just can't justify the price.  Too rich for me.
