My vote for the 2014 most stupid hunting gimmick

[ishoot4thrills]

The "Ozonics" thingy sure ranks right up there on the ridiculous scale. I always thought the "Butt Out" thingy was silly too, but some may disagree.

Those Toxic Broadheads seem to do some real damage, but trocar points aren't generally a good idea.

Treecoy is just plumb stupid.  I have so many trees I cut them down just to heat the house.

[Wallydog]

But can you set up a tree stand in it??lol

[Dan bree]

The corn block that you screw into the ground  the reflective blind  that ozone thing  when will they make a elevator  tree stand ?

[Jake Scott]

The bang stick broadheads are a TERRIBLE idea!!  Someone will end up dead.

I hate to say it, but this may be more "traditional" than traditional archery.  People have been prone to gimmicks, quick fixes, and magic potions for a long long time....and I would venture to guess that this propensity may actually pre-date the bow and arrow.  Hard to prove either way though.

I just ordered two of these and will hang a hammock between them while I hunt!

My vote is for Tom Nelson.

A FAKE TREE! A couple years ago this would have actually surprised me. Now it just reinforces my idea that hunting is so commercialized its got to be getting close to caving in altogether.

Its no surprise. Maybe it just frustrates me that I could not think of it first and make all the easy money...

whats funnier with the treecoy is how many wives and girlfriends do you think will buy this as a special gift thinking it will be the best present nobody else has,,,,,,,,, only to watch their favorite hunter fall back into the chair after opening it and suddenly having that distant hollow stare towards the ceiling of the room.

Actually, I have to admit....while home recovering from surgery I found myself watching the Drury TV show, and guess what they were doing? CUTTING DOWN SMALL TREES TO RELOCATE IN A CORN FIELD. The relocated trees attracted bucks like crazy-- the only licking branch around. I'm just sayin'......

That toxic looks like the old serpentine  redone. Not improved.  . What  go,s around  comes  around

[PaulDeadringer29]

How about the deer tail you attach to the bottom of the tree and raise it with a string, to perk a deers curiosity? I can't remember the name, just vaguely recall seeing it on a commercial.

[MCS]

Have you seen the CornHoler? LMAO.

[Slickhead]

Did you hear about the hunter who fell on the cornholer?
"One in a million shot,doc"


Im telling you. Go look at the the hunting aisle anymore.
More junk than you can shake a bag of cmere deer at.
Ive been guilty myself of buying some also.

These might make great gag gifts for my dad and uncle come Christmas time. I would definitely get the velcro apples!

[Scott E]

What about drones for hunting? Not nearly as funny as the treecoy but every bit as stupid

[elkken]

The only good thing about the product video was that when it ended it led me to another you tube video of Fred Eichler stalking and shooting a whopper Mountain Caribou with his recurve.

The treecoy is laughable at best, but it might look good next to one of my green plastic patio chairs.
