Kelly,
I know there have been several e-mails sent to you regarding products. When I get into the office on Monday, I'll find out exactly what has gone out and when. Also, please give me a call Monday at 800-333-5119, as we need to discuss several issues regarding your reviews of blinds you have yet to see.
Thanks,
Bill

I will be out of town until Thurs. but if my cell will work where I'm at I'll call you. What blinds have I reviewed that I haven't seen? I got the info on the Finisher but we were talking about a review on the dog blind on the phone.

Kelly,

I'll look forward to talking to you. In regards to the your review on another forum, I was talking about your statements regarding the Power Hunter on the Refuge Forums. It is evident from your remarks on that forum that your preconceived notions of the Power Hunter will prohibit a fair and unbiased review on your site.

Frankly, your statements there I found very offensive, coming from someone who is supposedly in the business of giving fair feedback to waterfowlers. I feel I have to quote your post so that viewers will know what I am talking about. see comments here from other forum

We welcome fair criticism of our products, and realize that it only serves to help make them better in the future. Since you obviously have a predisposition to the sponsors of your site, why don't we call it quits right now, and you can keep promoting them. We will get input from goose hunters who spend their own hard earned money on blinds. In the end they are the people we have to please.

Thats fine Bill, as far as giving consideration to my sponsors anyone who gives us product to test is a sponsor, that included you guys at one time. As far as the points that I made about the blind on the refuge I probably overstepped a little and I can admit that, but my opinions are mine and I'm entitled. I never wanted to test the Power Hunter Blind for that reason. I would never do a review of a product that I knew I didn't like. I wanted to review the dog blind because I had heard very good things about it. Bill you know as well as I how bad this business is and can get. I'm not here to propogate the crap thats flying around because I hear it every day from every angle, just want to give our readers what they want. As far as you finding my comments offensive, if I had posted that on my site as a review I could understand that but on a different forum I was pretty tame compared to allot of what goes on.

I'll give you a ring
