I haven't tried the Primos but bought the MAD Growl call and it sucks, IMHO. If you blow too hard it sounds like a stupid duck or something. I've read the Primos is a better call and has a wheeze, which might even be more useful than a 'growl'. The Growl call doesn't seem much different than a lot of other deer grunt calls except its alot bulkier, hard plastic (noisy), and doesn't come with a lanyard. Of course it was alot cheaper than the Primos call. If I were you I'd ask for something more useful like some Xstatic clothing, new arrows, broadheads, boots, or just about anything else.
