Default "Favorite" BS in a magazine/video?

Just wondering how many people get riled up over some of the stupid crap they read or see from the "experts". I'll give a couple:

1) Statements of this form, "Big bucks (or big bulls) only travel with the wind at their nose. HUH? How can that be? Are there two outfitters, maybe right this minute, standing over a big bucks carcass, one's saying to the other, "Durn it, we lost another big boy. Let me see, yup, he died of thirst." The other goes, "It's just the darndest thing, we been trackin' this ol' boy for 4 miles, and you could see way back there he was TRYING to go to water. But the danged wind just wouldn't cooperate, ever' time he got close it'd switch on him! Just plain bad luck."

2) Just heard this one again from the guy behind the counter at the local sporting goods store, hadn't read it for a while, but it goes like this, "You want a loud elk bugle, like a PowerBugle, for a LOCATER call." Can someone explain that one to me? You locate a bull by bugling, then hearing his reply. How does BLOWING a louder bugle let you HEAR bulls from further away?

I'd love to hear some more stuff you all have heard or read. (Note: this is just for fun, I'm sure at some point I've uttered something silly, and I'm not even an expert.)
