standman Report post Posted July 22, 2004 Here is an email that was received from Primos that was posted on another forum that was interesting: July 22, 2004 To Whom It May Concern: It has taken us a few days to sort through all the issues, rumors and hearsay revolving around the recent court ruling concerning the Elk draw in Arizona. Primos has advertised its products on United States Outfitters' TV show that airs on The Outdoor Channel and we have used USO's licensing services as well as hired USO for its guide services in areas that we were unfamiliar with. Primos has been pleased with all services provided by USO. Through a number of e-mails and phone calls it has become apparent that people have lumped Primos Hunting Calls in with USO as being involved with the court case. It was never our intention to take a position in this matter, but rather to let the courts decide what was equitable or not. That, of course, appears to have been misunderstood. With our use of USO's products, Primos has been included in a fight we did not ask for and do not desire to be a part of. All of us at Primos are first and foremost for the Elk and the places they call home. We do not want to do anything or be a part of anything that takes away from that. At this time, we have decided that in order to support elk, the other wildlife of Arizona, and the places they call home, we should withdraw USO's TV show from our list of sponsorships. We thank you for your input. This has not been an easy decision to reach but after much prayer and thought our decision is based solely on what we feel is best for the Elk and the Elk hunting community. Sincerely, Will Primos President, Primos Hunting Calls Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

az4life Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Keep those emails to the other sponsors going! We have found a way into the USO stronghold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted July 23, 2004 I sent a thank you to Primos for dropping uso. I would think with every one hopefully it will gain momentum and then the uso will have to stand alone, and with maybe a few big sponsors dropping off, they might get the idea the that they are in a fight that no matter the outcome they will lose.

DesertBull Report post Posted July 23, 2004 I received a response from Crooked Horn. Basically telling me screw myself, in a nice polite way. That's ok, I like my BadLands and Kelty packs better anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Hey desertbull, post that e-mail address for crooked horn, and I am sure they will get a few more e-mails regarding this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted July 23, 2004 I am with desert bull on this one just got a bad lands and it rules. It is much nicer than my old crooked horn one anyways. It fits better and looks better And it is not bulky. b esides that they can screw them selfs. What kind of hunter has to be guided to everything they hunt any way. The guy comes up with a pack that people like and then all kinds of outfitters take him hunting and he gives them packs and gifts. With out doing it on purpose the guide now addvertises for the pack When all the guide cares about is it was free . They have not come up with anything new in a few years anyways. Oh well they can fill the way they want to about it just like we can. The way primos looks at it is they will sell alot more calls to Arizona hunters than a few free calls they give to USO.
