Not a hoax, They posted on FB that they had made a donation to hsus. There was immediate outrage from their customers on FB. So Muck corrected and said the donation was to a local shelter not associated to hsus. The local shelter said, hey we never received a donation from them, so muck gave them $2000. Muck made a very political statement saying that donation did not go to hsus. At no time would they say they did not support hsus when asked directly.
Apparently muck employees at the time (2014) said the statement made by muck was BS.
Got this off an archery site, so seems to sum it up.

If you go back and read all the stuff that was posted as that unfolded you will see Muck's story is full of holes.
This is how I remember it playing out. Muck would have been a lot better off coming clean and apologizing but instead released a series of lies that they got caught on. That's what really upset folks.
Not as blatant as I first thought, reminds me of Canadian politics ! I still wouldn't buy from them based on how they handled the media kerfuffle.
