Cheap arrows and broadheads. By the time I bought them 2 or 3 times, it would have been cheaper tobuy the expensive ones from the start. When it comes to arrows, cheaper is NOT better.

That's true in most things. The guy that set me up with my first compound always said if you want Good Clean Oats you'll have to pay afair price, if on the other hand you are satisfied with oats that have been through the Horse, thenI can find you a bargain.

How True!!

long time ago I bought a "range-finder"that you dial in until the images become one. Sometimes it worked, most of the time it sucked.Walmart, $25 - go figure.
I couldn't think of anything really dumb (maybe that tree belt...) but then I read this. I picked up one of these on Ebay and the thing NEVER worked. It was my first Ebay purchase and I learned alot from that mistake. It was supposed to be new, it wasn't. I don't think I knew about checking feedback then. I learned though, got my Nikon 440 in camo for $90 shipped off of Ebay.

Earth Scent drier sheets. I mean, I thought they could fool a deer....what was I thinking.
Bad in the dryer but not so bad for storing clothes

My stupidest buy was a blow up Doe decoy. It was more of a novelty Item for the adult industry but I had to try it out in the woods. I blew her up and anchored her to the ground and as the a little windy and she broke free and popped.
What kind of sick sex shop are you going to?

I burned one popple tree with my baker then retired it. I had only the lower half.
Things I didnt buy because I thought they were jokes. deer view mirror- come on this thing cant be for real!!!! My neck swivels. cough supressor- you mean to tell me someone really bought one of these? Butt out tool- now thats funny!
I learned at 12 years old how to properly gut a deer. How about that tool for making scrapes?And these cameras that link to your comp so you can see whats happening anytime. Gee I think I will just pay someone to hunt for me. Heres a good idea for all you manufacturers: The fart supressor. How about an ash tray that looks like a tree knot.
