I saw the "Deer View" on display at the Boat/Sport/Travel show last year... the only thing cheesier than the concept of checking mirrors in a deer stand was the fruity guy trying to convince me I needed one.
He had a video playing in the background where some guy shot a 70lb fork horn with a bow and claimed 'I would've never known he was there without this mirror". Somehow I have succeeded in spotting numerous fork horns since without a "Deer View"

I swear by mine!!!  Especially when I hunt from the ground, I have the thing duck taped to the bill of my hat, and I essentially have 360 degrees of viewing capabilities.  For those of you slow on the draw....this is SARCHASM!!! I laughed out loud when I saw this thing! What's next...the back up "beep, beep, beep" horn when you climb down from your stand??? ;D |

No, actually the next product from these fine folks is the Steer View Mirror. It's meant for rodeo clowns.

the fruity guy trying to convince me I needed one. Aren't those guys ANNOYING! "yeah buddy I am an outfitter in (insert state), and you believe how many guys out there wouldn't even hunt without a (insert useless product). I'm serious. You had better get one here at the show, cause you'll save 2%! Plus we'll enter you in a drawing for an all expense paid (insert hunt)." (That probably is won by this clown, if it even exists!) Get lost! |

I'm a member of the NAHC and they sent me one as a demo product to keep. I laughed out loud when I saw it. I never even took it out of the package.
Last summer, I put it in a garage sale for $5 and some lady bought it for her husband. She was so excited because she found a hunting item for her husband that she just knew he did not have. I'd have loved to have seen the look on his face when she brought that home for him. I bet he could not break her heart by telling her what a joke the product was.
I did think of one good deer hunting use for the product. On a bright sunny day, you could use the mirror to reflect the sun's rays into the deer's eye, temporarily blinding the deer so that you could get a shot off. What a concept!

Hunters are usually pretty good about weeding out stuff like this.
What gets me is that Cough Silencer. That guy must have started with a pocket of dough to advertise the way he does now.

Believe it or not that silly looking contraption actually works , as a former smoker I still have a bit of a nagging cough at times , and it muffles the sound much better than my sleeve does . I've had friends sit less than 3 feet from me and listen to me use it , they could barely hear it . |
