What gimmick/gadget you bought was a wate of money?

[captonion]

I'v bought some chitty hunting stuff over the years that turned out to be a waste of money.Here are a few I remember.

Gerber blood trailing light.
Scent lock clothing.
Buck bomb(hissing POS).
A three in one deer call that looked like a frikin flute with video(Not sure who made it.Its still in the bush).
Buck Knife(won't keep an edge).
A couple Remington 742/7400s.
Wal-Mart hunting boots.
Bushnell Holosight(piss poor at dusk)
Winchester Fail Safes

Let me know about your laps in judgements.

Camo rain gear on ebay for 80 bucks. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. New from a supplier as well.

Co-optics scope made in china - what a piece of crap - should have given the 50 bucks to charity

Ok.....someone here must have bought this I been buggin my buddy I will buy him one since its the one part of dressin a deer he hates, so I just have to know if it actually works, or should it be added to the list.

those butt remover thingys actually work but when you twist you really gotta jerk it back a bit to catch the meat and pull'er out...pretty much any electric-techno-gizmo thingy has been a waste with me..

 

[a j cave]

seems like all the neat must have new wiz wonder stuff I get is another turm for POS. Fishhooks catch fisherman, gadgets get hunters! AJ

I still have my Popeils Pocket Fisherman and it works great. Matter of fact, I bought another one at a garage sale just like it.

I think that every Knight and Hale game call I ever bought was crap too.......

Years ago I bought a trail cam with 12 different times on it, no pics, just times. Ran on about 36 of those $6 batteries and lasted about a day. And I didnt know if a squirrel or a grizzly bear had passed by, but I knew WHEN he passed by.......that thing was a POS. I dont know what I was thinking when I bought that.

And I once bought one of those shotgun shell holders. Well that damn thing dropped shells all over the field, couldnt hold onto one shell, loops were so loose, good thing my gun was loaded or Id have been screwed.

I hate this thread. Im getting p*ssed off just reminding myself about how many times I got screwed....

Maybe the only thing that Ron sold that really worked. I'm sure I'll hear from the chop-O-matic fans.

LOL Might be the best ten bucks you ever spend if it works. I myself would die from embarrassment if I was caught in the woods using one. I can only imagine someone seeing me jam this up a deers arse, who never saw this product before, and have him look at me like I am some kinda perve LOL

 

[sealhunter]

I'd purposely have a boom box with some "chika waka chikawaka wowwow"
music playing while I used it!

 

[heavyBullet]

I wonder if it comes with Lube ????

 

[swailmeister]

I bought those knives years ago...GINSO...I believe they are called. They can cut cans, steel etc, etc. What A pile of junk.

You suppose to use that thing while the deer is still standing like shown in the photosMaybe they should include a "warning" with this product use only after the deer is dead and on the ground.I don't think it would make that good of an anal anchor on deer.

 

[heavyBullet]

Hmmmm, don't think the deer is standing, looks more like doggie style LOL or should I say "Deer Style"

1976 Ford Bronco.......actually, make that any Ford, any model. Cheap Chinese scope "oh well, it's only for the .22 - what can go wrong?" Many, many things, eg: flint and magnesium fire starter, coil-up saws, shake light, any rod/reel combo worth less than $50., Coleman waterproof boots (guaranteed waterproof until you actually take them out of the box and put them on), Buck knives, .44Mag shot shells, Winchester Featherweight 30-06, the list is still growing!
