foxpro's new Minaska Clone
 

ya'll see that new caller that foxpro came out with. It is pretty sad, it is a knock off of the Minaska All in One unit!!

First they copy the M1 with their scorpion and now this!

pretty shamefull

there was a post on it on predator masters but it got pulled cuz every 1 was cranking on foxpro.

I did a search and this other forum is talkin bout it.

they are talkin about it on fins and furs forum right now..

Since this is your first post here, I'll take a guess that you're a Minaska fan and not a Fox Pro fan!;)
SO what if it looks a lot alike, lots of things in this world made by two or more companys look a lot a like. Cars? Pick ups? Flash lights? Computers? Hand calls of all types? Decoys? Targets of all kinds? An endless list of stuff.
When a company makes a product that "looks" a lot like someones elses product, is it a bad thing for consumers? Minaska should feel honored that Fox Pro is trying to duplicate thier product because to me, that only means that Minaska has a quality product and Fox Pro is wanting some of that action.
Those Ecaller wars on PM have been going about as long as that board has been around, and the moderators certainly do protect thier advertisers!

RE: foxpro's new Minaska Clone
 

oh yes, they protect their paying members!!!! Of course they get free stuff from foxpro for the protection.

RE: foxpro's new Minaska Clone
 

DO you know that as "fact"?

I do know that a couple of the moderators are field staff, and of course they get free stuff. But I highly doubt that all the moderators over there are getting free stuff from any advertiser over there.

RE: foxpro's new Minaska Clone
 

Yes I agree, companys have been doing this kind of stuff for years in all feilds of manufactiring. If they have a good product it"s only a matter of time before sombody copys them, and hey good chance it will make the price come down, so we win. Just remember, just becouse somthing is the most expensive, don"t mean it"s the best.

That was one major influence in the platform and creation of Midwest Predator Hunters. Non-sponsored &un-influenced by products or companies or donors. It's amazing how Mike Dillon has changed the predator hunting world with his company. The whole Predator Masters website has become one big commercialized drama-pit. I doubt that ALL of the moderators get the perks and benefits... but some do. Many just do it for the ego-trip and selling power for the products they peddle.

Where can I see the call that is being discussed?

RE: foxpro's new Minaska Clone
 

ya, thats another site that is talking about it now. I think most people find it to be a little gay that they copied Minaska AGAIN!

RE: foxpro's new Minaska Clone
 

It was also a influence on alot of other site. people got tired of the entire "we do what we want" kinda thing from the mods.
If ya'll don't fall in line they cut you out and run you out.

RE: foxpro's new Minaska Clone
 

if you dont own a foxpro what is it to you,you can buy what you want,my foxpro wasn't give to me and I'm glad I bought it.

Interesting post copy and pasted from there (Primos) to here.

Partial Quote:

"Again the facts are being left out. Fact is, Foxpro's "new" caller isn't new at all. It has been available for a very, very, very long time. It was a "custom" order from their custom shop. Foxpro does not actively market the call in their regular line. AP Jones of All Predator Calls asked that a number of callers be made for him to sell. People had been asking for a Foxpro caller with a horn speaker and integral decoy. AP Jones decided to special order a few callers to see how well they were received. People are claiming that PM is protecting the money. Doesn't it occur to anybody that Foxpro, Minaska and All Predator calls all pay the same rate? It is also claimed that Foxpro gives mods callers for protecting them. I know for a fact that is not true. I saw the receipt for a Foxpro caller that a PM mod bought and paid for. I also saw his receipt for tee shirts and a hat that he had paid for. Full price mind you! The same money it would cost you or I."[/align][/align]I am a mod on PM and Foxpro. The guy I quoted aboveis telling it like it is to the best of my knowledge. I PAID for my Foxpro caller. I have alsoPAID for accessories and t-shirts. I am a mod of the Electronics Forum on PM. Shamoot has been making claims that PM protects Foxpro. Fact is we let the threads slamming Foxpro go much further than we do any threads slamming any other company. We have rules that must be followed and we edit and delete posts according to those rules. The only exception is letting people gang up on Foxpro until it gets nasty. It is a family board so when the threads reach a certain point we HAVE to step in. The quote above is correct in that all companies pay the same fee to sponsor our site. Some folks that are making comments know the truth and blatantly lie. Others are just going with the flow and parroting what they hear from somebody else. Do some research folks and you'll see who the honest people are and who has an agenda and/or an axe to grind. [/align]

and by the way shamoot,immitation is the greatest form of flattery,and unless there is someone giving foxpro the schematics of the electronics components and circuitry then fox pro is only using the case design.PS I'm sorry if I used to many big words you may not understand.schematics are like blueprints for electronics.components are the electronic parts used.circuitry is the actual wiring and boards that carry the current that when broken down into different frequencies makes the speaker vibrate at different rates of speed,that causes the sounds that make coyotes come and dogs bark.I thought I would break this down for you so you could understand,since you may be not as intelligent as some others,since you jumped on this forum and started running down stuff that you may or may not know about,we like to use this sight for sharing experiences and enjoying the great outdoors not starting crap,I have owned several different brand calls and I will not run any of them down due to design if they work good they work,thats the main thing.My foxpro works,my prey master worked,my extreme dimensions works,I only own the FX3 now but the others were great and I will tell everybody to try them and buy what suits them the best and maniska is probably a great little caller I tell them that also,just enjoy this site,you are online with people that enjoy the sport of hunting and fishing,and that dont usually critisize other peoples choices or advertise only what they like.
