    I agree with you tacklebox, their mocking tone is unnecessary. If your going to make an instructional video and upload on youtube don't act disrespectful and uneducated. Something most if not all of us as hunters don't want to be associated with.

    I have only used C'meer Deer Corn coat and one other thing from them...can't remember what they called it. It worked very well for me here. I did try that 3 day harvest thing from them...didn't get a deer to touch it. So not sure how well it works. Just know the corn coat and that other stuff works. I will look up what they called it.

    I don't know if you're aware but there are more Butt Out Tool videos on YouTube. I just used the first one that popped up.

    I've hunted with 2 different guys that used this "tool". The first guy made a mess of the whole rectum removal. The second guy had good luck using the tool as directed. I think a proper, sharp knife and knowledge of how to field dress is cleaner and quicker.

    The call that sounds like deer eating acorns was what came to mind for me first. Then it was the mirrors that set up like a ground blind reflecting the surrounding scenery.

    I believe that call is called the Cruncher. Lets not forget the bag of fake deer turds, and the 'Deer-view mirror.

    How about the Stand locating Beacon? When you get close you hit the remote and a light starts flashing on your stand.....

    About 15 years ago they came out with a heat seeking deer locator thing. Looked kinda like a flash light and was suppose to pick up heat. I knew a guy that bought one, JUNK! Since then I work with high end thermal imaging gear and know that for thermal to work you have to spend more than a few hundred bucks....

    Of course I would argue the blood lights are junk also.. I know some folks claim they work for them but "Alternate Light Sources" professionals use in CIS work cost thousands and they only do a so so job at making blood more visible. Been there don it....

    How about the old string trackers???

    I have a Sting Tracker. I havent used it in years but I did have great success with it. I only used it when I hunted with heavy wood arrows and my recurves. I dont think I'd use it with my compound and light arrows.

    Nope, I'm with you dude. I bought one and it's much easier and faster than without.

    Scent loc. Proven backwards and forwards (scientifically) not to work but man o man do they have a great camo pattern :)
    Scent lock makes the cruncher look like a bargain!.

    This string tracker was a big hit in Florida when I lived there and it works just fine. Turkey guys are going back to it as well.

    Cant believe nobody has mentioned the hunters snorkel!. An actual snorkel with a carbon insert that was supposed to filter the breath so the deer couldn't smell you :D
