bonecollector Report post Posted March 27, 2011 I finally get some time to go try some calling. I have this new foxpro I have only used "Once" and not that long. I make my 1 1/2 hr drive and pickup my uncle and we head out. We get close to our first stand and my uncle asks if I have batteries. I say no I have only used my caller "Once". We get setup and start the calling sequence. 1 minute into the stand the caller stops. I walk up to it and the Low battery light is on. I'm kicking myself not checking the batteries and not bringing extras. The day wasn't a total loss, we went and checked my cam and spotted a heavy 3pt. In the area. The coues are still packin.

thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted March 27, 2011 I can usually get 8-10 stands on 1 set of batteries, but if they sit for few weeks, they go dead. I always try to charge them the night before, and carry an extra set. At least you still had a good day out in the woods! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntlerObsession Report post Posted March 28, 2011 I've run my Spitfire for about 20 calls, with just the 4 AA batteries, and I still wasn't getting a low batt signal. Wasn't till my kids got into my stuff and left it on that I had to switch the batteries. I always keep an extra set on me anyway. Extra batteries are like potato guns: Better to have one and not need it, than to need one and not have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewileyone Report post Posted July 5, 2011 Had that exact same problem last year... it started good then sounded like a drunk dying rabbit... not good. Wasted day getting up early and driving an hour to have dead batteries. I will definitely take extras from now on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
