Hunting Forum

HI, I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER 2 YR. 3 MO. AFTER COMPLAINING A FEW TIMES ABOUT NOT REC. ANYTHING TO TEST ! I FINALLY REC A PKG.- ( I'M IN SO.GA. WAS 100* TODAY ) GUESS WHAT I GOT ?? A PAIR OF "HAND WARMERS" & 8 PCS OF REALLY BAD-NASTY- CHICKLET TYPE GUM (GUM FLAGE), 2-6 " TARGETS, 2 SMALL TEST OIL PATCH PACK FOR FIELD-1"x2" . I'M VERY INSULTED  AS TO HOW MUCH THOUGHT WENT INTO THIS PACKAGE !!  SEEMS LIKE OUR DUES & ANY OTHER INCOME THE CLUB GETS GOES INTO EXECUTIVES POCKETS & FOR THEM TO GO ON EXTRAGRAVENT HUNTS ALL OVER THE WORLD !!! THIS IS A "GOOD CON" THEY HAVE GOING !! ALSO THEY SENT ME A RENEWAL NOTICE 9 MO. EARLY ??!! I HATE BEING LIED TO & SCAMED, DON'T BELIEVE THEY WILL GET ANY MORE OF MY "DISABILATY MONEY" !!!!!!  PANMAN65

Sounds like you have gotten more than most. Be happy with what you got, and that you were actually selected to field test. Though low priced, it sounds like a good variety pack!!!

panman65 just go back and read all the posts about your complaint they are numerus .

This topic comes up every two days...

No kidding .

YOU ARE PRETTY SORRY IF YOU THINK GETTING HAND WARMERS IN 100* HEAT ! YOU ARE A SIMPLE MINDED IDIOT !!! LET THEM KEEP TAKING YOUR MONEY !! PANMAN65

HEY HOLLY, YOU MUST BE UGLY AS A MUD FENCE-THAT IS WHY YOUR PIX IS A BLACK OUT ! YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT & USE IT FOR SOMETHING WORTHWILE !

How will name calling your fellow members get you more test items?

Well isn't this fella just a bundle of joy. Sure hope he sticks around. He a friend of yours water wapiti? LMAO

I love entertaining posts like this. So, you are telling me, that in the dead of winter...you NEVER had cold hands and wished you hand hand warmers at 5 am??? I really think, however, that you should take your insults toward club members elsewhere. We didn't insult you, simply said that you should be happy getting to test a product...and if you don't leave a review, you will never get another one. Don't forget, there have been a few testers that got crossbow packages this year. if 10 people got them and there are 350,000 members(all of which probably arent testers) you have a 1 in 35,000 chance of getting one. Not saying these are exact numbers, but way better than any contest you would enter.

naveyman bosley, for informational purposes only, not trying to start anything! There are a few more than 350,000 members who are signed up as forum users. The actual club membership is a little over 850,000 based on the last figures released by the company. I would guess that number is now closer to 900,000 considering how long ago the numbers were released.

BTW, I was one of the Charter Members when there were less than 1000 members, and I finally had a field test item this past summer for the very first time in over 34 years of membership, so anyone who gripes about the program needs to join another organization if their purpose in paying this one was in order to get free stuff!!!!!!

I don't believe the club has ever lied about the test program, since they never guaranteed that every member would actually get items to test. Their guarantee was that every member would have an opportunity to get an item, if and when, their name gets drawn from the pool and based on items available and the member's profile!!!!!

This now makes about the 40,001 time that this has been posted in around 20,001 threads!!!!!!!!! When will people begin to read the forums before posting the same old chit over and over????????????? Can't people read before inserting foot into mouth???????????

Hey water wapiti..........once again we have tried to help a member, only to be met with some of YOUR attitude!!!!!! Are you recruiting these rude, obnoxious numbnuts???????????

Hey Guys & Gals I just got an item to field test, a CR123A pair of batteries. I use them in my flashlite and they are bright so I'm glad I received them. At Wallymart they cost about $10.72. My question now is after testing an item you must re submit your test profile and I have filled that form out about 10 times and it won't Submit. I have tried on FireFox and Outlook Express with no luck. Several other submits on like Winchester work so why not this.

Has anyone had this same problem here ? Any suggestions will help or do I have to call them

Thanks guys/gals

wow saw this 1 yesterday and thought oops here we go again! wow did this 1 take a wierd turn! first of all panman65 sorry you didn`t like your test product, but you got something! thats the bonus! like it has been said next time it might be a bow or a new black powder! thats the gamble! but insulting your fellow members wont help you! all thats gonna do it get you banned too! then you really lose! some 1 at the club has a sick sence of humor, they sent 1 guy a bag of biologic when it was illeagle to plant food plots! and another 1 live trees too plant in the dead of winter!

holly i will apologise for what has been said here. you have only tried to help people i have read your posts, so sorry!

Water wapiti?

cripplehunter .You dont have to apoligize for a jerk like .I do think that my wife and her baby look perty good in that picture .Dodnt know why that in some threads it darkins like .

And pan man i am an ugly guy and that is why i dont put my picture on here .

Thanks for trying to insult an ugly old fart .

I signed up a couple months ago; I wished I would have done a little research. The club has bad reviews all over the web; all of the complaints are the same that are posted in the forum's. Now the membership is cheap, but they use a lot of other methods of creating more revenue, sending you stuff in the mail to preview for free but then you must buy it or send it back UNOPENED. Also I do not have a lot of confidence in the Give a ways, I e-mailed the club on the last Gear give away, it had been two weeks since the drawing was held and they still have not posted the winners. I received a E-mail stating that it could take several months before the winners were posted, sounds very fishy. The magazine is poorly done there are a lot better Magazines’ out there for a lot less, search the web for Hunting magazine’s and you find a lot of great mags out there for less than the club membership dues. Also the Forums you can get a free membership to Huntingnet.com and they have a lot of great information and it’s free. Over the entire Club seems to me to be a way of getting access to you and try to sell you a lot of cheaply made stuff. Any way to sum it all up I will not be renewing my membership and will be returning everything they send me.

niemz, that's H2O Elkaholic.
msanderbrink, you can return everything after it has been opened. The company even includes a postage paid return address label that can be affixed to the resealed package. Also if you will read the complaints that are posted here on this board, you will find that most of them deal with the field test program which most new members don't understand because they didn't read their membership agreement, the items received for review and purchas ( as in your post), which once again means that the membership agreement wasn't read and understood, and the loss of our First Amendment rights while on this board, which is in a TOS that the company can use at their discretion and interpretation.

I will; however, agree that the NAMG is a money grubbing corporation that takes every opportunity to gouge it's current members by creating new levels of membership after enticing existing members to upgrade, only later to have a "better" upgrade offered at another higher cost!!!!!!! Also, the problem with the mag. is one that is popping up in practically every print publication out today.......the requirement of a smart phone in order to get "The Rest of The Story".

Just remember that in the last 35 years, the NAHC has undergone tremendous changes from what the original founders created. It isn't a real club by any stretch of the imagination in it's current incarnation, but then again is SportsmenNA, Buckmasters, DU, NWTF, or any other hunting organization that is open to any and all who are willing to pay for membership???????????????????

Wow, what a gem panman is. Holly For the record your not as ugly as a mud fence, a guppy maybe but not a mud fence LOL, actually that guy doesnt have have much rrom to talk. RT see people will never learn, and people wounder why I stick to my own site most the time.
Guys listen to rt about returning stuff, he as many of us understand and have made several post on this same issue.

Yes but i do not need someone opoligizing for me but i do thank him for doing so .And RT has written that same statement somany time he knows it by heart.
thanks every body .and dont start on me or others about stuff .
