Title: Frank Cox and his usual Self
Post by: ccleroy on June 28, 2017, 07:31:41 AM
It never ceases to amaze me the route he takes to continue to make himself relevant. You have to have something seriously wrong in life to be this bitter and hateful.

He has shown his true colors many times. Hopefully people will ignore him as he just wants attention. Unfortunately you have those that will continue kissing up to him to stay on his list. He seems to be a miserable person.

I love reading Frank's rants, they're hilarious.

I stayed on his list but dont kiss up to no one. As a matter of fact I just got off the phone with him as my name finally came up for my trumpet. I really dont care what or who he rants on. Thats his opinion no matter how crude or rude one thinks that is. If he bashes on you , dont be thinned skinned , bash back. I will get back on his list for another trunpet. I think he makes the best one out there in my opinion and i am definately not a fan boy. he is arrogant and cocky  but so what. I could care less until he insults me , then I will take it up with him. Not  trying to be a butt , just voicing my opinion. oh and im getting a cocabola trumpet with bufflohorn mouthpiece and silver furrel. I cant wait.

Lol. He always hammers anyone that plays trumpets and tries to give a tuturial. The man can play a trumpet for sure but he can definitely be labled a obnoxious azz. I have no issues with him though

Anyone buying in to a cOx list is a moron. There's plenty of pics floating around out there of the amount of calls produced by this guy. He just uses that pitch for sales which btw is kinda funny because he has collected disability for some time now and he doesn't report the income,hence why you normally make out a postal MO in his current wife's name. For those thinking that you're buying a heirloom I have news for ya...there's a TON of cOx calls being made and he is laughing all the way to the bank with your stupidity... Furthermore a wise man once said.... You just one phone call away from federal prison and don't forget that (God rest the soul of the man who told him that)

We all live in glass houses. Some of us just pull our blinds and silently clean what we can. Others precieve their glass as bullet proof and become foolish in misconception of the fragile reality we all exist in and don't conduct themselves with self respect and humility. In time a blind man will eventually find a cliff to walk of if he's left alone to wonder foolishly.

First of all , im not a moron for being on his list and getting a call from him. You dont like him and dont like his calls , thats up to you. You have your right to your opinion but to call people who want a call from someone names because you have a issue with the individual the call is coming from is well , moronic. The bottom line is love him or hate him , the man can run a trumpet as well as build them. Glad you know he has 40 laying around that way I may get my next one a little quicker.
Title: Re: Frank Cox and his usual Self
Post by: Spitten and drummen on June 28, 2017, 11:10:53 PM
yep. Got several trumpets from both of them as well. Both those guys are stand up guys and pleasant to talk to for sure. They make some great trumpets. Frank is boisterous and arragant but he still makes a great trumpet. Hell , matt mcclain makes a great trumpet for half the price as the others mentioned here. I love calls and collect as well as hunt several from alot of different folks. Some other calls I have , has come from some other not so nice to deal with folks. Im not trying to be thier buddy , they have a product I like , so therefore I purchase them. I dont agree with alot of their views and actions , but thats what it is to be a american. I served and fought for this country so everyone could have a right to voice their opinion.

I do not have a Farmer and have never tried getting one.  They are a great piece of turkey hunting history but nothing I have to have.  I do not know Cox or Farmer on a personal level.  I do know that I have never heard or heard of Farmer being ugly and cruel to people to try to make himself look better.  I have also never heard or saw where Farmer went out of his way to belittle another call maker or his product.  I cannot say the same for Cox, actually there are many, many examples of Frank being a total jerk for many years.

On another thread a guy shoots an illegal elk, which I am against and glad to see justice is being served, and people are going ballistic talking about boycotting all his companies and how he is such a jerk.  Then you have a guy that has been nothing but a behind hole to many, many people for many of years and people excuse it as the way he is.  They have no personal issue with Cox so they will not get involved.  I guess that trumpet means more to them than other things in life. 

I do not own a Farmer, and most likely I never will, but I do not own a Cox and I know for certain that I never will.

Zach is relevant, makes better trumpets and can play one better than him.....plus all the videos released lately of Zach made Frank feel as he needed to smudge someone's name that sells in the same market as him. He's a worthless POS that is mentally disturbed.

My thoughts exactly, by buying his calls, you are supporting him. In other words, you are condoning the man. Personally, I don't want my good name associated with anyone who acts and treats others the way he does. He doesn't deserve my money nor my support.

I see what you are saying , but even though frank cox is a big ole a hole , he did not shoot a hen turkey out of season or a cow elk either as far as we know. That garbage is plain unethical. Frank did not break any game laws. I agree he is a big ole a hole for the most part , but although he does flap his gums alot , that doesnt justify me not buying his calls. I am in no way defending the clown in his actions , just stating he makes a great trumpet in my opinion. I dont feel that its the holy grail of trumpets. I believe mr billy and mr farmer as well as several others make a great trumpet also. You will not speak with a finer gentleman than mr billy buice. oh and in my haste in above post , I stated I had trumpets from both the above men. I did not mean to say I had a farmers trumpet as I do not. I meant to say I have several trumpets from alot of guys including Mr Buice. My apologies.

The way people treat people mean more to me  than any animal.  I am for following all game laws and being ethical but human life has more value than animals.  A dead animal is no where close to being mean and ugly to other people. Being a jerk to everyone and talking others down because you are scared of competition seems pretty unethical and down right nasty to me and it is not just Farmer he has done it to.

It is your money and you are free to do with it as you please, just as I do with my money.  I choose to give my money to people that I can proudly say I did business with, in the trumpet world Mr. Buice and Cox are on total different ends of the spectrum and I prefer to stay on Mr. Buices side no matter how great of a call the other makes.  There are plenty of great calls in this world and even if Cox's was the only one worth a snot, I would just have to do without because of the person he is.  I will also openly admit Cox makes a very good call, but I will not give my money to someone like that.

Post by: Spitten and drummen on June 29, 2017, 10:24:53 AM
appreciate that will. it is insane to be judged because we choose to buy calls from a individual who has insulted some people. I could care less who they talk about as long as im not directly affected. if it offends the person , then that person should take it up with the offender. people have gotten really thinned skinned. Cox is a grown man and he insults other grown men. perhaps being that all parties involved are grown men , maybe they should handle it themselves. I personally have no issues with anyone here and can agree to disagree.
Title: Re: Frank Cox and his usual Self
Post by: Rapscallion Vermilion on June 29, 2017, 11:08:11 AM
For me personally, the character of the fellow that made the call does have a very real effect on my enjoyment of using that call in the woods and my willingness to send money his way.  Purely a personal decision for me.  A different choice by someone else on who to buy calls from doesn't tell me anything about their character.

I do not think anyone has said anything negative about the majority of the individuals that purchase or own a Cox trumpet, but have spoken against Cox and why they personally will not do business with him. That is why these conversations are bad to have on a forum as it is too easy to misinterpret what is being said.

This is the best part of this entire thread. I stop by his shop quarterly and have never seen more than 2-3 trumpets that were about ready to ship (not 100% finished), and I have seen his list. I have picked it up and reviewed it several times. The best part is how many "well known" call makers are on his list, several of whom I have spoken too and they admitted that the man makes one hell of a trumpet, with impeccable craftsmanship. In my opinion, his trumpets are hands down the best, and ALL of mine (several) are very consistent and ALL turkey.

When was the last time you were in his shop?

This is all somebody else's circus, somebody else's monkeys, but I will say this...There are plenty of great guys, personally, to buy calls from. Marlin Watkins, Al Shoemaker, Jimmy Schaffer, Mike Lapp, Richard Hudson, Tim Bullock, Lonnie Sneed...Go down the list. If a guy is a jerk, he could make the call that would call every turkey in the universe and he wouldn't get my money. I just couldn't bring myself to support somebody like that...That said, I wouldn't hold it against anybody who did...Just makes me feel like I'm somehow weak to know that somebody is mean spirited and support him anyway. Now before anybody gets their back fur all up, I didn't say I felt anyone else was weak for doing same. I just would feel that about myself...

Although I have never met Frank, he has always shot straight with me.  I appreciated his call following my accident to see how I was doing.  I don't inquire about his opinions about others who I don't know as I consider that his business.  He does make a fine trumpet and I wouldn't go hunting without mine.  He is a fine, ethical turkey hunter and I enjoy hearing of his exploits.

I've never had a problem with Frank. He's always been very nice to me and we have had some great conversations in the past. He makes a great call that is very nicely crafted but it's not the best out there. Guys like Permar, Lumma, and Buice all make great looking and sounding horns that are very easy to run and all will help you call birds to the gun. Everyone has their favorite and that's great as we all like to have a choice when laying down our hard earned money. People love and hate Frank. So be it as that will never change. Buy his calls because their finely crafted works of art and don't get caught up in the BS.

Very well said Bill. But you guys be careful on what you say because some on here will change their opinion on how they think of you. Roflmao!! Liberals love you until you disagree with them , they feel that  if you dont believe like them well then you are morally benieth them. What a joke. He said something about someone that is hurtful so I will not do business with him. I wonder how many that say that has never said hurtful things about or has never insulted others. Sheese!!

It goes a little deeper than that. Frank and his cronies feel that he should be able to bad mouth whom ever he chooses and no one should say anything back. What he said about Mr. Farmer is just plain stupid and not based in reality. Mr. Farmer wasn't able to defend himself, how could Frank defend himself after what he said. There's no defense for what he did, other than just being a jerk. I wholeheartedly defend the First Amendment, just remember it's a two way street.

He's been kicked off just about every turkey call forum known to man because of crap like he pulled on Mr. Farmer.

I have always wondered what people who buy calls from that nut use to wash the crazy off. Maybe its catching? The man just ain't right. His calls aren't any better than those he talks down. He doesn't even play a trumpet any better than most people. The only question left is why people join in with the delusion.

All joking aside , seriously who cares about who someone chooses to buy a turkey call from. THIS IS AMERICA. Again I fought for this country so you can excersize your right to speak freely and spend your money how and where you want. You will never hear me try to preach to anyone here where to spend their  money. We can all have our own opinions. That being said , if your opinion of me has changed , then so be it. You can say what or what your not all day. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck , then it's a duck.I just know what the good book says about passing judgement on others. Again what frank said about mr farmer was definitely wrong.

Very interesting thread..............

I could be wrong but no one has mentioned buying calls for investment purposes. There's only a few call makers out there where you could sell the call if needed and double or triple your money. I won't mention those makers.

#2 Mr. Farmer can run a trumpet.

I do not have a Farmer and have never tried getting one.  They are a great piece of turkey hunting history but nothing I have to have.  I do not know Cox or Farmer on a personal level.  I do know that I have never heard or heard of Farmer being ugly and cruel to people to try to make himself look better.  I have also never heard or saw where Farmer went out of his way to belittle another call maker or his product.  I cannot say the same for Cox, actually there are many, many examples of Frank being a total jerk for many years.

On another thread a guy shoots an illegal elk, which I am against and glad to see justice is being served, and people are going ballistic talking about boycotting all his companies and how he is such a jerk.  Then you have a guy that has been nothing but a behind hole to many, many people for many of years and people excuse it as the way he is.  They have no personal issue with Cox so they will not get involved.  I guess that trumpet means more to them than other things in life. 

I do not own a Farmer, and most likely I never will, but I do not own a Cox and I know for certain that I never will.


I see what you are saying , but even though frank cox is a big ole a hole , he did not shoot a hen turkey out of season or a cow elk either as far as we know. That garbage is plain unethical. Frank did not break any game laws. I agree he is a big ole a hole for the most part , but although he does flap his gums alot , that doesnt justify me not buying his calls. I am in no way defending the clown in his actions , just stating he makes a great trumpet in my opinion. I dont feel that its the holy grail of trumpets. I believe mr billy and mr farmer as well as several others make a great trumpet also. You will not speak with a finer gentleman than mr billy buice. oh and in my haste in above post , I stated I had trumpets from both the above men. I did not mean to say I had a farmers trumpet as I do not. I meant to say I have several trumpets from alot of guys including Mr Buice. My apologies.

Hens need to be shot out of season from time to time.  You can't let these hens get all arrogant and think you won't shoot them, whether in season or not.  Sometimes out of a truck.  Sometimes with a rifle.

I can only speak on my own personal behalf , not for the rest of you all - this call maker drama is unpleasant- those who wanted to say something,  did ...and perhaps it's time to move on and let this thread drift away to the back pages

  this whole callmaker drama stuff that used to be quite commonplace 10 years ago , the partakers in the activity essentially ran themselves out of business
