Two Pills A Day Bring Big Deer Your Way
I ran across an interesting article at the Peterson’s Hunting site while Googling the latest hunting news today. A multivitamin that can enhance your natural hunting ability? Pardon me for a moment while I roll on the floor and laugh hysterically.
To be fair, reading the medical findings listed in the article, some of the claims make sense. Still, packaging and marketing a pill that, when all is said and done, possibly makes a person believe taking it will somehow magically make them more successful while hunting seems nuts. No matter the benefits of all the vitamins and herbs contained in those pills, there not going to turn an ordinary hunter into some kind of super hunter.
Can anyone say: “Creative marketing to pocket money from a targeted demographic?”
Admittedly, I haven’t tried the vitamins to see how it handles the problems it claims to take care of. It very well could accomplish all of them splendidly. And each of those may play a part in concentration, stamina, and so forth while hunting. If anyone tries it, they’ll have to let me know.
I guess the problem I have is the way the article was presented. It read like many of the full page miracle diet pill ads that you find in tabloids and other such publications. Maybe I’m just getting cranky and opinionated in my old age. All I know is that when I found it and read it, all I could think is ‘Oh boy, just when you thought it couldn’t get worse!”
What do you think? Is it something worthy? Or is it something to laugh out loud about? Or did I interpret the entire article the wrong way?

I vote for laugh out loud myself. In my opinion this is the kind of marketing that gives those in my profession a bad name.

I can see it now: Record Buck gets an asterisk after hunter found to have used performance enhancers.
