Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling a concentration of descenting particles within a temporary structure. The temporary structure comprises a plurality of sidewalls and a roof interconnecting the sidewalls. A plurality of selectively openable and closeable upper windows and lower vents are disposed in the sidewalls. The lower vents are disposed at a location below the upper windows. An ozone generator is disposed within and coupled to the temporary structure to produce descenting particles that are controlled within a hunting zone of the temporary structure to be between about 0.04 and 0.1 ppm.

A method of controlling a concentration of ozone within a hunting blind, comprising:
- providing a substantially enclosed temporary structure, comprising:
- a plurality of sidewalls and a roof formed interconnected with the sidewalls;
- a plurality of selectively openable and closeable windows, each sidewall having at least one window disposed therein, the plurality of sidewalls and roof defining a hunter zone therein between that is spaced from the plurality of side walls and roof and has a lower portion that is proximate an upper torso of a hunter positioned within the temporary structure;
- a plurality of selectively openable and closeable lower vents, each side wall having at least one lower vent disposed therein, the lower vents being disposed proximate a bottom of each sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls;
- and
- providing an ozone generator configured for being coupled proximate the roof of the temporary structure and configured to produce ozone within the temporary structure to intermix with air and odors present within the temporary structure to descent the odors as the odors subsequently emanate from the temporary structure so as to be substantially non-detectable by animals present outside of the temporary structure, the at least one of the plurality of windows and plurality of vents being openable a sufficient amount to cause air to be blown by wind through the temporary structure to maintain a time weighted average concentration of ozone of between about 0.04 and 0.1 ppm within the hunter zone of the temporary structure.
