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

I for one am going to march right down to the nearest sporting goods store and buy a Primos Elk call.

Right on!! Thanks for sharing their response. Its good to see a company like Primo's take a stand on an isse such as this. Im with you AZDude......all my calls for this seasons elk hunt will be Primo's. They've always been one of my favorite "hunting related" companies, but now they've earned more of my respect and my business.

YES, I like Primos and didn't want to have to not purchase their products anymore.
 
It just goes to show the people can make a difference
I emailed primo's myself and many other companies ie swarovski,knight muzzleloader and have not received any responce yet
Lets keep the heat on all the other sponcers and not stop until a letter just like the one you just read appears
KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP
 
Guys, make sure you send Primos a thankyou e-mail. And then continue sending the other sponsors e-mails until they jump ship also.

I just got the same email... Way to go Primos. I can honestly say Primos will be along for my first elk hunt this fall. I plan to purchase my calls next week.

My question is are they going to continue to use the licensing and guide services? If so they are not doing enough!
 
Just sent them this e-mail:

I am a business person and avid hunter. I also reside in Arizona. I own one Primos call and enjoy it very much. I would like to give my sincerest thanks to you fine people for pulling your support of USO and transfering it to the tradition of hunting. I and many others commend you on your decision and are proud to support you and your products for life. If I ever need anything hunting related, and you folks make it, I will buy yours...guaranteed.

Thank Goodness, it's a start for everyone to get back on with what we read these forums for, Hunting and supporting the sport that gives us so much pleasure. I just wish i could sit on that Log Cabin's porch and say "Way to go Will!"
 
Copy of letter I sent to Primos, thanking them for their support!
I would suggest that we all send a letter of thanks to help ease the burden of sacrifice that some of the sponsors have had to make to help support our cause!


Mr Will Primos,


Not a bunch of hoop la, just a Sincere THANK YOU for your sacrifice of withdrawing USO's TV show from your list of sponsorships. You will undoubtedly regain the support of many satisfied followers. You already have quite a few very positive postings on numerous website hunting forums, including www.mostermuleys.com. I have personally posted a very positive response and have promoted your calls and my favorites, your hunting videos.

We appreciate Primos promoting first and foremost for Elk and the places they call home.

Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,


Greg V.

I also just read on another forum that Bill Jordan (RealTree) just did the same.
