Think Differently When Hanging Treestands

How often do we consider the wind when hanging our treestands? Almost always! That's a good strategy, except for the fact that we're not hunting the wind — we're hunting deer. With the benefit of Ozonics, it gives us the opportunity to think about where we need to be in order to best hunt our target bucks, even if that means we're not in the perfect place for a particular wind.

Hunting the Right Way

Hunting the Right Way

The right stand, on the right day, with the right wind — that's when success tends to occur. But what if you only have a few select days to hunt because of work, family activities, life events, etc. and the wind is all wrong? That's where Ozonics can come into play. Bowhunters can do more than good if they hunt certain stand sets in the wrong wind. An Ozonics unit, however, is just what the doctor ordered to continue hunting the “right way” — even at the wrong time!

How to Hunt Small Acreage All Season

When it comes to hunting small properties, our success can be boiled down to how much pressure we put on it. And most of the pressure, Cole Tanner explains, is the scent that we produce — and leave behind — in the field. While we're constantly trying to pattern deer, these odors actually allow the deer to pattern us. On smaller properties, our margin of error is razor-thin, so we need to adjust our strategy accordingly.

Do Animals Smell Ozone?

Ozonics' Cole Tanner tackles one of the most frequently asked questions the company receives. His in-depth answer is that while animals can indeed smell ozone, there's a very limited opportunity to do so. In our experience, even if deer do recognize that something is a bit different, they simple won't see it as a threat. Our entire staff has trusted Ozonics on our hunts for many years, and we can't begin to tell you how many swirling wind situations their units have guided us through.

Buck Commander Releases New Buk Ops Technology

Ryan Busbice from Buck Commander introduces a brand-new technology they call Buk Ops. This is an optical viewing device that does not use infra-red or thermal technology. It maximizes available light to give the user an enhanced view of their surroundings. It's not a targeting device either, but a tool for scanning fields in low light, or even walking into your stand or blind without a flashlight. This is one-of-a-kind technology that holds many uses for all types of hunters.
