Dumbest hunting item you have ever bought?

RE: Dumbest hunting item you have ever bought?
The original Jennings Buckmaster bow. It was my first solo cam bow so I tried it out. Good price and free subscription to Buckmaster's magazine. Wasn't a bad shooting bow except it kicked like a mule and the cams were so thin the string sheared part of the cam one day. Got it repaired and promptly sold it after one month. Not sure which was worse, the bow, the magazine or the fact Buckmasters called me 4-5 times a season trying to get me to renew my subscription.
2nd worse was a dozen arrows I bought, they were so bad I don't remember the name. They were bigger in diameter at the rear and gradually narrowed down at the tip. Brittle arrows too. What was I thinking?

we never had any luck with the c'mere deer either, but the stump likker and deer cain worked pretty good, just not exactly as advertised.
i think the worst thing I've ever bought is Gum-o-flage. Im sure it works, but its expensive and i dont think its worth that much

I have no clue what you guys are talking about, I love the thing.Only saves you maybe 2 minutes but hey, it works as advertised.In, Turn, Pull ,Cut, pretty simple if you ask me.

Most definitely, without a doubt, the worst thing I ever bought was the Butt Out tool.
I should have seen it coming...[8D]

But both times I used it, as I was slowly pulling, the tool ripped open the sides of theanal canal before it pulled free. So now instead of cutting out ONE rectum, I've got this mangled colonand fecal matter everywhere. What a mess. It took me three times longer to gut those deer than it would have if I'd just used my knife.
This happened BOTH times I tried it. After the second time I got ticked off and threw it at my cousin, who was laughing histerically in tears watching me mangle this poor deers colon, all the while trying to keep the feces from contaminating my meat. He's a witty cat too, so the jokes were non-stop. At least we got a good laugh out of it. That's all it was good for.
Without a doubt the worst 10 bucks I ever spent. I'm glad your's worked for you but I can't help but think you got lucky.
