Foxpro vs. Primos Alpha Dogg ?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to get the best one in the $250 price range. Does anybody have any experience with the alpha dogg? As for a little background, I'm am virtually brand new to varmint hunting. I have learned a lot from this sight though and look forward learning more. Thanks

Dont mess with the alpha dog. I had one and it only lasted long enough for me to loose the receipt so I couldnt take it back. Fox pros are top of line and work really well. I suggest you save a bit more and get the model above the one your looking at. Make one purchase instead of upgrading later on.

I just got the wildfire 2 its awesome!!! 199$ at Cabela's best thing i bought last year!!

 

That's the one I saw too. A friend recommended the primos but I'm a bit skeptical. We are buying a house soon so I can't spend much over $250. Thanks

I agree with STOMP442 my Turbo Dogg didn't even last a year.I'm in the market for a different brand and FoxPro is at the top of the list.

Was watching the Primos TV show the other day when they had Randy Anderson and a buddy on. They had an Alpha Dogg out there as well as mouth calls and shot 12 coyotes on maybe 7 sets... Made it look pretty impressive

I am sure that was the goal.

 

-All I can vouch for is the overall quality of the Fox Pro products. They've been leading the industry for over a decade and still manage to innovate. Their customer service is second to none and they have a huge sound library. If you do ever decide to sell a call, Foxpros tend to actually hold some of their value.

I have the alpha dogg and wish I had spent a little more on the fox pro. I have already had to send it back for internal repairs twice. Only works within 10 yards of remote. They told me I needed to put it up on a tripod so the remote had a direct line of sight. Except there is not a thread for any tripod mount.

Randy Anderson is my coyote calling hero and the reason i went with the primos call over the fox pro. I figured if it was good enough for him then that's what I wanted. Little did I know that he probly had a truck bed full of callers because they don't last more than two stands.

i made the mistake and bought others and in the end i wasted money and went with Fox Pro...Sound quality is the best. some of the others just sounded crappy and the volume wasnt there....

That was my thinking as well- if it'sgood enough for Randy Anderson, it's a good call... I don't own either foxpro or a Primos E-caller but I can vouch for the Primos Mouth calls being an excellent and effective low-cost option for those that choose to use mouth calls.

Thanks for all the input. Cabelas has this on sale ( pictured below). If this is just a rebranded foxpro then I'm going to pick it tomorrow. If not then I'll grab the wildfire 2.post-8890-0-48641500-1389331315_thumb.jpg

Those 7 'sets' could have been over a week, a month, heck even a years time... They're selling a product, remember that.

 

Get the Foxpro Scorpion. Used for $250 shouldn't be hard to do, I've killed a lot of critters with mine.
