fasteddie Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 What's the most "worthless" hunting / sports tool you have ever bought ? For me , it was the "Air Skinner" . It's a device that you stick in a deer's hide and fasten it to an air compressor . The air loosens the hide from the muscle . The videos showing the use make it look like a great tool . The problem I had was as soon as it loosens the hide and finds the opening from field dressing , that's it . It will loosen the hide a bit but it was a total waste of money . http://www.airskinner.com/air-skinner-in-action/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I bought one of those three legged hunting seats. To get up off the bare ground a bit. Lasted about an hour before one of the legs sunk in and broke. Use a pad on a milk crate now. Stay comfy all day! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all my natural ground blinds have at least one. Wish they made em with arm rests though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyc50 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 wow thank you for starting this, where should i start ,well every time i go to the sportmans show i get sucked in to buying something. there was the hand warmers that you boiled they were hot alright for a 1/2 hr, the bow carrier that you put around your neck seemed like a good idea freeing up your hands, well the thing cut into your neck and the bow swung back and forth while you walked.knife sharpeners(i have a fetish about sharp knives) metal polishes . but other things i tried and sucked too are the buck bomb(leaked wouldnt spray) the butt out oh its works but you have to becareful you rip the anal canal right out and you still have to cut the p tube easy on a buck not so on a doe. well i dont watch t.v. in the middle of the nite anymore they look good but by the time you pay the shipping and handling cost and find out they suck not worth the money as seen on t.v. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
