    I am noticing alot of newer or first time hunters using this site. I thought the following question may help them and allow us some voice as well. Some of the gimmicks on the market today can eat up alot of a new hunter's money before they figure it out....Not to mention it is a little insulting that they think we are that stupid.
    What do you think the biggest Gimmicks on the market are today?
    I will start it off........Synthetic deer poop..........Really?!

    Poop..... Are you serious!!! IMO this Butt Out tool. Ive been gutting deer for years without one. My father and my brother are both unsure of the reason why one would need such a tool and i have to agree.

    Nose Jammer! LOL!!!! That's a classic.
    I think ANY cover scent is a rip off! It has been proven deer can detect up to 6 different scents at once. SO, they would just smell the cover scent and you.............

    The other day I saw a suit that is supposed to disrupt the electromagnetic field that humans emit and supposedly deer can detect........wow.....

    Range Finder With Arc
    Synthetic Poop
    900 different scent eliminators , when baking soda is all you need
    Cough Suppressors

    Problem being there is only so much one can do and needs to go out and bow hunt with , so either changing products , or making anotherone that is so much better , and designing something off the wall that is stupid will be here for ever from now on since the whole archery bussiness and bow hunting products has been covered years ago .

    Nope, but I'm not gonna waste the money on an arrow to try it! I seen videos proving they're no different than any other arrow :busted:
