2012_taco Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Any one heard of the North American Hunting Club? I received a packet in the mail saying I was pre-approved as a product tester, all I have to do is join for only $1 /month. Seems like it has scam written all over it. Free products sent to you to test and keep....really? and a subscription to North American Hunter magazine. Thought I would ask around before I toss this in the recycling bin.

cdmckane Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I've gotten them in the past. I just toss them. Even if they're legit, I figure I'm not a good enough hunter to give them the feedback they're looking for.

Daveboone Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 A friend joined. He received a one time collection of Walmart grade items (cheap folder, a couple of cheap lures) to eval. If I remember correctly they have their own magazine they want you to subscribe to. Not worth the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I am still a member there but I don't post much . They changed the format on the site and it pretty much sucks now . As for the testing , you would be lucky to be sent anything and then it's cheap . They have some company doing the Test Items now . I pm'd a few members and got them to come over here .

BornToHunt Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Big scam....DONT JOIN. They tell you you will be a product tester, but i never got anything to test. They kept sending me stuff i didn't want like books and such and said i had to pay for them. If i didn't want these items i had to send them back paying the shipping out of my pocket. These people are scam artists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr.deerslayer Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I liked the old format when the NAHC did the field testing. I actually was able to test and keep a $100 Work Sharp sharpener. With the new format and the other company I got to test and keep a set of Drag Master Gloves worth around $20. I personally think the magazine sucks and contains mostly ads. Fur- Fish and Game blows it out of the water. Oh and they did pull the same "send me a coin to try and if you don't like it send it back" I put an end to that real quick.

sampotter Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yep- they send you cereal box quality stuff and expect you to pay for it or send it back if you don't want it. Anyone remember BMG music club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2012_taco Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I though as much, thanks guys for your info, I already tossed it. Might just put the window sticker on the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I agree with the other guys, I joined years ago, and all they did was send me some crap that I had to pay to ship back before they billed me for it. I havent rejoined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Like NY Antler. I have been a life time member since the 90's. Never got anything to test but have gotten a bunch of crap mailed that they want to sell you. The magazine wasn't too badd back when but it has even gone down hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 N.A.H.C. is not a hunting club. It is a selling club designed to take advantage of bored sportsmen with spare money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow Addict Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I became a life member in the early 90's. I have gotten items to field test in the past but they were $20 dollar items.I get the the magazine every other month and hardly ever read it.It's just making a few people rich just like Buckmasters.I'm not sure what their definition of a club is.Don't waste your money.
