True Talker...sorry you lovers of the call but after 3 of them falling apart...never again.
I have to agree..... I've only had two, but they are not very durable!

Gerber blood light. When they first came out I saw it on TV, and the wife went on the internet and bought one for me. She paid a little over $50! A week later it was in all the local stores for $39.99. Then I tried to use it, and it isn't worth a plug nickel! The regular light on it is OK but the blood light part makes blood harder to find! My friend also got one and he came up with the same conclusion.
Makes a guy wonder if some of these products are made by anti hunters designed to waist our money. lol

For hunting, Quickspin vanes.[:'(] Loud, slows your arrow, and not very durable. Might be ok for target shooting, but for hunting, no thanks. Especially when all your shots are over 20 yards.

For me it was a strap on shooting rail. Impossible to set up easily or quietly. If your stand doesn't have one built in just forget it.

I agree with the cheapoptics and boots. Some things are just worth spending the extra $$ on.

I'll second some of the cheaper trail cameras. Spend the money for the Cuddebacks or a Moultire I-40. It'll save yourself some frustration.

I would have to say the biggest piece of el crappo I've purchased over the years is that tree umbrella thing. It's a total PITA to set up, and unless the rain is falling STRAIGHT down...yeah, yer gonna get wet.
BIG DISAGREEMENT HERE! If you hunt in the rain or the weather changes..You'll sing the praises of this one!!!

Opening Day of Gun season I'd have nominated the inventor for Man of the year!

X2, I just wish I had the sense to cover the seat of myclimber when I put it out. It was like sitting on a wet sponge.

Worst things I've every bought? That's easy!

The Butt-Out Tool! [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

I mangled the colons of two deer this year before I got ticked off and threw that thing as far as it would fly. All it does is shred the rectum into strips! I watched the video before using it too so I'm pretty sure it wasn't operator error. What a piece of crap....
