GSM bought out muddy and Hawk. i called this morning and asked when they would have the sticks back in stock. I was told that they would not be producing sticks anymore. I hope this person does not know what they are talking about.

Muddy and Hawk sticks may be no more

Again, I’m hoping this person doesn’t know what she is talking about. I’m wanting to buy a couple of muddy sticks.

Assuming they make some money based on how quickly they sell out and the mobile hunting fad, and they aren't getting jammed up with lawsuits, I highly doubt they would buy the brands just to kill off profitable products. But customer service usually goes down the crapper as you ascend each rung in the M&A world.
If you like them I would highly recommend the DaveT approach and stock up your fallout shelter with them.
If they quit making Heliums those things are going to be a decent investment. I truly believe they are the best stick on the market, recent high $$$ entrants included.

Huh? In this 2019 Hawk Helium video, this dude has a GSM shirt on? Why would GSM go to ATA with new sticks and then not make them?
That is a massive mistake if they quit making the run and gun sticks. That's such an up and coming market, Wild Edge is going to eat this right up.
I just spoke with a different person at GSM that owns hawk and muddy and they told me the same thing. I then asked the question, then why were you at the ATA show showing the helium sticks and she said she did not know but that they heard that they are not going to produce them anymore

I had a standoff bend on a hawk helium and emailed them about a month after I purchased them. Never got a return so after reading this post decided to give them a call. GSM is answering the phone and The customer service person said they were still selling sticks. That said he also didn’t know what a standoff was. There was also no option for climbing sticks on the automated call system. The only choice available was press 2 for tree stands and tripods. He didn’t know what a hawk helium climbing stick was either. After a bit of research he found it and offered me a 20 percent discount on the single stick price of 44.99 which put it just about normal retail price at bass pro. I guess I should have returned them to bass pro but it was the beginning of season and they were already showing out of stock.
Sounds like a typical M&A. Just wait til the Tethrd boys sell out to the corporate world

Man they would be making a massive error if they stop making the Helium sticks. They are one of the only if not the only double folding step for a run and gun set up. I love mine. I guess I better start buying them up. I feel like some companies just don get it. Mobile hunting is on the rise both stands and saddle hunting so why would you stop making one of the best sticks on the market.
I have an un-modified, un-used set of Helium sticks, might be time to sell them at a crazy price.
Darn, I sold mine a couple months ago. Should have kept them until now. My Crystal Ball is defective.

I suppose it is possible the chinese aluminum tarriffs could have killed these.
