Camoflauged hunting knife. Set it down blade into the ground (so as not to cut myself on it) in the middle of gutting a deer and couldn't find the damn thing. Ended up finishing up gutting with a dull 3" pocket knife.[:@]
Never did find the damn knife.

Those huge mosquito net-masks you put over your head. I'm sure I looked like an idiot up in the tree trying to see out of the damn thing. I had two deer chasing each other 25 yards out in front of me and couldn't see a damn thing. All I could do was hear them. I probably looked even dumber looking around trying to see the two deer running around me, when it dawned on me, take the damn thing off. By the time I took it off , they were gone. Needless to say, I never wore the DAMN thing again. This was pre thermacell day. A cheap bushnell scope I put on a Rem. 700 bdl .270. I paid the price, twice? The gunbrella. I used it once in the rain and my gun ended up soaking wet because itsweated profusely inside the DAMN thing. The egg turkey call by Madd calls. That thing sucked. It got a little wet one day and that was it. Those $30 strong built lock ons. God those things are uncomfortable. You feel like you are going to fall out any minute. I could probably go on, but I'll stop here.

I will have to give it to the fighting purr call from Knight and Hale from years ago. For those that don't know, it was two box calls that you were to use and they made an ungodful noise. Probably scared turkeys, coyotes, and all living things into the next county. Didn't work for me anyway. So great it was never seen in the stores again.

The dumbest thing Ive bought was the stupid whistle from MAD Calls that was suppose to make the turkeys gobble. Didnt work worth a crap.

I use them and they work well for me but then of course i wash all my hunting clothes in fresh earth wash and use the dryer sheets in the dryer. I just wish they gave you more for the money...

Thermacell. It is supposed to be scentless but it stinks to high heaven. The first two hogs that i ever seen got spooked off by this POS. But i guess it does work but dont plan on hunting with it.
