One of Own Getting Ripped Off - Read this if you dare
« on: September 25, 2009, 07:54:17 AM »
Most of us know Larry Gresser of Prairie Game Calls....you should, he's one of our Moderators here!

You might be interested in the dealings he had with Leslie Beyor of 4 Vermont Game Calls this month.

If you make pot calls, and you have been contacted by this individual, you should read the article on our main site.   

www.thogamecalls.co m

It starts right on the front page with the actual e mail exchanges between Leslie Beyor of 4 Vermont Game Calls and ends with Mr. Beyors reply......

Hi Larry,

The call I purchased from you is not patented; I could reproduce the entire call and sell it as mine. Thanks for your cooperation.

Leslie Beyor

Read the guys e mail carefully - you'll see what kind of integrity this moron has.    We are here to support call makers - and we will -  and when this kind of stuff comes up - you can be assured that we will post it for the entire world to see.    Most of us cannot afford fancy lawyers and patents and registered trademarks.    But we can stick up for each other and bring to light the crooks and snakes that try to stiff the honest custom call maker.

Man my blood is boiling after reading the series of emails.....You got my support 100%.....What a jerk!!!!!! Obviously a person that does not have the drive to design, test, and market his own ideas. All things come back around to people like that!

 :bigup: :bigup: to you Larry. You handled this alot better than I would have.

My thinking is...

" I hear Vermont is nice this time of year, lets make a road trip and bust someones legs"   :taz: :taz:

What a jackass. I guess it takes all kinds.

I know I have read a lot of times on CCO that if you want to know how a call works just buy one and take it apart. And I have seen quite a few instances of actual measurements given as an answer.  Even seen where callmakers have said if you want the inside design just buy one.   But never seen one like these emails!

I do not think it is a company just a wannabe callmaker that wants to skip the learning process.  There is no info for the company, no website, not even a reference to it on Google.  Maybe just a prank?

I tend to agree.  I hope that is the case.

What a jerk. Even if he was able to figure out a way to m ass produce them I'm putting my $$ on the fact that just because it looks like Larry's call I doubt it sounds as good. There's a reason the calls you guys send out sound the way they do. It's because they are all,, each & every one,, hand tuned to sound right. Twould serve him right to invest his $$ into something that fails on him. JM$.02

 :down1:  What a peice of  :censored:. i really hope this is some sort of prank. obviously the guy knows nothing about custom calls. does he think that all calls are from a set of prints with measurements and tolerances.    Pure lack of morals.  That ticks me off      rick

Between Parker and I....That's 680 pounds of ass-whipping ability.  I say we road trip.  I'm pretty sure I can take just about anybody from Vermont.   :hammer:

Good of you to bring this to light Al.   :yes:
