Author Topic: Tell me about it… Q-Wagoner FREE TRIAL MEMBERSHIP Member # 33 posted September 04, 2007 06:59 PM                   Haven’t been keeping up on all the board gossip and goings on but I was wondering if any one knows why Murry Bunham dumped Foxpro and went to Maniska? Also I heard from a good source that Randy Anderson just got back from Africa and he was using a Maniska for his e-calling? What is the scoop fellas? Good hunting.

Sounds like interesting stuff. I also heard that BS is a full time employee at Foxpro? Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

I'm planning on staying where I'm at and for me there are no $$ involved for being on the fieldstaff. I sell a few sounds and am happy with the Dillons and FoxPro.

Member # 7 posted September 05, 2007 10:54 AM                       As a matter of fact, Tom, there is an upcoming announcement that we've kept close to the vest, but I can't discuss it. If it makes you feel any better, they told me to hold onto my old style caller until the got caught up with you guys' which means I'm still using this thing from, like, the last century. Sure, Q, don't even show up for eight or nine months, then when you do, you start stirring the big ol' turd pot. LOL Actually, this "ours" vs "theirs" thing is getting pretty raucous anymore and it's sure pushing both sides to provide a better product. I'm trying to see the downside. -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

These guys deserve a friggin' announcement. It's rediculous to send in an expensive machine for an upgrade and here it is, practically hunting season, and what the hell is going on? "Screw" this close to the vest shit. It's not good business, in my view. And, that's why I haven't sent that package. I don't trust the infrastructure. Good hunting.

Remember I was told 6 weeks in March so I sent mine in. I'm afraid to say too much (sorry Leonard) because that seems to be part of the original problem. Here's a clue, don't announce a marvelous upgrade until you're ready to ship those units!!! My new call is being shipped today, after talking with Brad I feel confident it will be a good caller. The downside is I had no problems with it to begin with.

Honestly I don’t have a bad word to say about the foxpro or the minaska or there owners for that manner. I have helped Mike get lined up on some African sounds and a photo of Shaw and I was in a flyer for Minaska. Just happy to help. I am in no ones pocket so it doesn’t matter to me one way or another who’s “side” who is on. LOL I hold a few guys on the foxpro pro staff in high regards and others I think are frauds. Same with Miniska so it is a wash for me. Hell I don’t even own an e-caller! I just think it is odd that two very influential people jumped ship at foxpro? There has got to be a story to go with it. My first guess was that they were pushed out by a very territorial male ? Could be wrong though. Good hunting.

Member # 7 posted September 05, 2007 03:22 PM                       Uhhhh, for the record, my remark about the announcement was in reference to Tom's remark about Jesus being a prospect for Minaska's Field Staff, and was meant purely in jest. As far as the announcement about the upgrade, I don't have any more current information on those goings ons than any of you. If I did, I'd have told you. As stated, I was told to hold onto mine until everyone else's was upgraded, aka, I'm Field Staff yet all the customers are being taken care of before I am, and that's not a problem for me. -------------------- I am only one.

Not at all how I interpreted your previous post? But, they need to hire some help, or something? Everybody is getting anxious. Good hunting.

Now that you clarify, that's purdy funny! I have to agree with you, hard to see the downside with this competition. E-calls are improving exponentially... and FAST.

I'm just rather particular about who I hang around with is all. I have no problem with the Borland brothers or their products either. I am very happy at FoxPro now. The Dillons are great to work with, and my new FX-5 is top notch also. Good hunting, Rich -------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.
