Thermals near a Lake
Filed under: Ask Grant, Hunting Tactics
I know most of us try to do everything we can to control scent. I hunt in an area very similar to yours with mostly rock/hills and those air currents. Have you tried the new Ozonics or have any information or opinion on this product? I can see that if this product does what it says it could help a lot. Can you also refresh my memory on what you said about air currents with lakes nearby? Ron
Ron,
I’m still attempting to learn about ozone as a hunting tool. Those of us that hunt in hilly or mountainous topography certainly need help in controlling our scent dispersal in swirling winds!
Typically large bodies of water remain warmer than the surrounding land when the air temperatures begin to cool. Therefore the air over the water rises. This creates a vacuum and air from the surrounding hills rushes in to fill that vacuum. This air movement pattern is predictable and can be used to predict wind direction and stand placement. Understanding air movement is critical to stand entry and placement!
