RE: Biggest gimmick purchase through the years

The biggest gimmick imo was the heat seeking game finder. If it did work every bow hunter in the world would own one.

The best would be my thermacell.

Best - My EZ kut (http://www.woodyhunting.com/Package-Offers.html) for $40 at a trade show.....I thought it wouldn't last me more than 2 trees of drilling. Works great for hunting on public land where you gotta carry your ladders in and out constantly when hunting a non-climber spot.

Worst- I wish I knew the name of it...a $4 grunt call. You get what you pay for...froze up every time the weather dipped below 32...replaced it with a primos buck grunt, I'm looking forward to trying the new one out.

Like a moron I bought a cough silencer years back.

What a joke.

One of the best, I don't know maybe a zip saw.

in Colorado i imagine you don't have to worry about it. Thermacell is a butane powered skeeter repellent. here in the swamps of Florida, they are a must. i keep 2 of them just in case one get's broke. here our skeeters stand flat footed and can hump a turkey (those huge black and white striped ones).
