The Gear I’ll Never Use Again

Dang I've never managed to snap a blade, love my Havalon


Cries in muzzleloader


I had a cheapy Badlands harness that did this, my Marsupial harness is nice though

Yeah I over looked muzzleloaders, talking rifles specifically. I’ll take a 45 cal over a 50 cal muzzy though.

Man I have to stop you on the mountain house.. the old ones, yeah sure I’ll agree with you. but anymore I actually prefer the MH to peak by a mile on taste (yes I know everyone has different tastes). Plus they’re less bulky (yes, I’m also aware they’re less calories in a pack than peak). And cheaper

Really?? My bunghole was abused badly enough by them back in the day that I haven’t tried them in years.

Agree on a lot of what's been mentioned.
My main items:
- Soft shell jackets
- Insulated boots for any type of hunt other than tree stand whitetails
- Christensen Arms rifles - have had way to many issues with the bolt and ejecting spent rounds
- Water bladders in the backpack
- Top lids on a backpack for day hunts

Yeah, there's certain MH meals I'll never eat again. The one that comes to mind was a Beeferoni or something like that. I couldn't hardly hunt the next day.

Well that’s probably the issue. The bunghole is generally considered an exit. They’re much better going through the other end of the body.

In all seriousness though, there’s only a few MH variations I can eat. Generally the breakfast options.

-black gold bow sights on a hunting bow (snapped off the bow at the mount)

How did you manage to do that?

I did fall with the bow but not on it or hardly enough to where I feel it should have broke. Maybe cold temps were a factor. It was on a December hunt.

I think the black gold pins are the best on the market and prefer them when shooting a target, but since moving to spott Hogg the durability is not comparable. Ive crashed and burned several times including a minor dirt bike crash with the spott Hogg and its an absolute tank.

I am admittedly hard on gear and the BG warranty was legit, but that doesn’t save the hunt.

I have friends who have had issues with the newer BG’s stripping as well. I think the company has been pursuing weight savings too much.
