Ok, now for some honesty!

All hunting clothes I ever bought at Canadian Tire. If those guys want to call themselves a hunting store, they really need to step it up. Not a little, but an awful lot.

Really, in my deer camp we use those butt out's regularly, and a lot. Never had a problem and it always worked as advertised and never looked back since I got the first one the day they came out. Then again I bought it at Bass Pro in the US, maybe they send the rejected ones to Canadian Tire.

boots bought at Canadian Tire. camo neoprene/rubber boots on sale for $60 half off. they lasted all of 4 months with regular use, and I found out they weren't waterproof on a goose hunt in a flooded field with -14 temps and 60km winds. that was a long cold day.

any cotton camo hoodies. they always fade to the point that they probably scare any game that sees them, only after a few washes (yes I use sport wash). I just got a UA polyester hoodie for $50 at gander mountain in Florida, cant beat that deal and its a great product from what I hear and hopefully will last a few washes. And yes I wash my camo gear (I know some people don't), since I sweat like a pig and often have to sit in the car with buddies before and after hunts and go in public etc....

I've spent a lot of money trying to find a truly waterproof outfit that didn't sweat up. No luck so far. One outfit (I won't name names) got me so wet inside after a few hours that I might as well have been naked. Maybe I sweat too much?! Another outfit just deteriorated into a cheesy-like substance.

Anything that says "Redhead" on it

Too true. Don't know why people get so excited about Bass Pro when they mostly sell crap.

Oh, heres one thing; a crappy overpriced headlight by Gerber.

Anything that says "Gerber" on it.

Im a fan my Gerber Gator knife. Its seen me through about 15 years and holds a decent edge. The handle is very secure in the hand even when soaked with blood.

We were told last fall that my fiancee cannot have the same boots for hunting as for ice fishing. He said that the smell of fishing will cause you to not have any big deer come around. I stopped and said to him, do you not think that the smell of your store would have any effect? What about the smell of your body? Maybe the smell of your house? What about the dog?...

I wear the same insulated, $40 pair of rubber boots for fishing in winter, ATV and deer hunting. They probably smell like fish, exhaust, loon and city, but the deer don't seem to care. Like you said, play the wind...

My biggest regret was/is the Chinese quad my wife bought me. She paid $3000 for it new. I have had it six years and have spent at eats $1000 in parts on it with another $1000-1500 to bring it back to original shape. Right now I am looking for a rear brake drum since last September. Can't find one anywhere, including the local parts distributed who deals only with Chinese bikes, quads and power equipment. I ended up buying my father-in-laws 500 Honda that is a year older for $2500 with a plow. He has spent about $200 on it and most of that was for oil changes.

I also regret buying my '99 Johnson 25hp outboard. Second year I had it, I had to change the water pump impeller. I have changed that part about every two to three years since. Plus don't forget the oil injector pump ($600 plus labour), temperature switch, thermostat, thermostat housing, kill switch, CDI box and optical sensor ($800 +labour). Still runs like crap. Next spring, I'm dumping it on a dealer and trading in for a Yamaha or Honda 4stroke.

Butt Hole Tool.
Yup, there is a plastic gadget that you shove up the arse to pull out the anus (you can almost hear the cheesy announcer from KTel on this one).
So, there we are standing there after having shoved it up the arse of this large critter, turned it once as per the instructions and pulled it out. Hmmm...managed to get a lot of dung but pretty much nothing else. Now I am standing there with a large plastic dildo covered in animal fecus and no further ahead.
Now the two of us are scrambling cause neither one of use thought to bring string as a back up. Finally I gave up a part of my boot lace to tie off the arse so we didn't end up with a bunch of 'crap' all over the inside of the meat. Clearly my friend bought the wrong size or the critter in question was using the arse for something other than a dump.

Advice? just cut the arse out with a sharp knife and tie it...

Too funny..... Queer deer! I guess the 8 pointer I got last fall was still a virgin as the tool worked flawlessly..

My worst purchase was a Hyundai generator purchased at Wal-Mart. Refused to start without pulling on the string a 100 times. Exchanged it and the second one was even worse. Returned it as well. I got a Champion from Costco and been happy ever since!
