nateNAU Report post Posted January 4, 2018 I bought a primos alpha dog and I have been nothing but happy with it. I got mine when they were on sale for about $150. Not on sale it is close to $300 and for that price I would consider a foxpro or one of the higher end e calls. Just make sure you get one that can carry the sound out there. Contrary to what some say I think a good e-call is better that mouth calls. Such a variety of choices. My success at calling has exploded since I started using one. Coyote pup distress, antelope fawn distress will bring in any coyote within ear shot. Pig distress on a hung up coyote will bring him in running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duckhunter175 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 I did well in the brushy bottoms with the lowest end foxpro. It didn't put out quite as much volume as I wanted for open country so I went up to a larger model- now called the Banshee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZbowhntr Report post Posted January 4, 2018 I would agree with Foxpro. I bought mine online somewhere and was able to pick the sounds that came on it. There are 75 calls and I will never come close to using them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomC Report post Posted January 5, 2018 I bought a Inferno with 100 different sounds. The coyote came in when I was looking at / playing with the caller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastvalleyjerry Report post Posted January 5, 2018 Got the foxpro Inferno and the jumping jack attachment. Works well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeardownAZ Report post Posted January 5, 2018 Icotec. For the money they are better then the FoxPro. I have both. FoxPro sounds are good and plentiful but the remotes are terrible compared to others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delw Report post Posted January 16, 2018 I did pretty good predator calling until i tried an e-caller. I havn't called in chit with my foxpro hellfire. Funny I had the same problem. e callers are nice and my kid doesnt make fun of me about the sounds I make. but hey they work always have. Did call in a bobcat and a fox with one 2 years ago. Defiantly called in less with an e caller than mouth calls. but at times I have stayed longer with an ecaller cause I was too lazy to get up and move and called in a few. 45 mins. normally my stands are 5-20 mins tops with mouth calls. e callers I have stayed out for an hour just to see what happens. Â We bought the ecaller so we can use the bows. thinking it would give use both a better shot. happened to notice that when your using a ecaller the run in and keep on running with a mouth call they usually stop and look around and not so skidish..

Delw Report post Posted January 19, 2018 I honestly think critters are harder to call these days with an e-caller... Â I've been hunting coyotes since Burnham Brothers were the best gig in town... Â Generationa of coyotes educated to Lightning jack... I think they are all harder to call with electronics. we goto north rim alot for calling and I dont do as well with a e-caller as a mouth call. Dont be dissing on the lightning jack. thats the only e caller sound that has worked for me my fox pro has a ton of sounds too. Â Â Â over the years I have the most yotes called in with the high pitch sounds. the other deeper sounds I havent had near as much luck with. I have called in a bunch on a mallard duck call while duck hunting. you can make a duck call sound like 2 yotes/foxs fighting it brings them in pretty quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted January 19, 2018 Think I've called in about 6-8 cats with a foxpro. None, to my knowledge with hand calls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
