Best Electronic Game Call for the money??
« on: January 01, 2010, 11:50:36 AM »
I want to get a varmint/predator electronic call. I would want a remote control. Let me know what you think and what you've seen/experienced. I have a lot of coyotes on our lease and other areas and I want to "thin" the predators out as well as use it for other calls that might come with it as well.

Thanks for your input.

My buddy has the Primos Power Dog we've been running the past week.  Nice unit, cost him $100, remote controlled, completely wireless.  Works, does its job, but seems to lack a little volume from what I'd expect.  With only 5 or so days of experience with it, it is hard to say how well it will hold up, but up to now it has been doing its job. 

One to look at anyways.  The Foxpro Spitfire has been getting a lot of good press lately, no experience with it so can't give you any info other then the name. 

Good luck to you, I hope you cut a few Yotes.

I had the Premo's E Predator Caller.

It lacked volume, and on real cold days I just could not get it to work beyond about 1 foot much less the 50 yards they specify on the packaging.

The FOXPRO Spitfire is the way to go. I got mine about two months ago and it is great. I use an old stuffed animal to cover the call and still can use remote at 40 yards no problem all yotes some within 20 yards of the call no problem. Yesterday I sat in a small bowl in some sandy dunes and after letting the call run for a minute and a half on sage rat distress a small feamle came in, trotted within 3 yards of me and stopped. This was 12 minutes after the call was muted so I hit the mute button to start the call again and she turned and trotted towards the call one shot at 10 yards and she did two death rolls and that was that. I have no complaints on this call and the volume at it's highest setting will get em running from a long ways away.

FOX PROs are nice. I bought the big horn speaker also. Prob can call them from the next state. Got the big speaker for crows and wear a helmet when I turn it on. ;D Also got the Jack in the box. Works great. Costs a little but think/ hope it will last a long time.
