Ok, for those that call, which e-caller do you use? I have an el-cheapo ICOTEK and an OLD Foxpro. I like the fox pro just because it has more sounds. Of course half the sounds I don’t use or need. I’d like something where maybe you could just pick the sounds you want. I have no need for Snow Goose, Elk, Ravens, Turkeys, etc… Coyotes, hogs, fox, prey, coons, and crows would suit me just fine.

My fox pro Firestorm came with 200 sounds and I agree alot of them are of little to no use so loaded the sounds on computer and simple deleted the one I do not or have ever used then reloaded back onto the transmitter. A lot easier to scroll through those to find what I'm after. Did add an external speaker

I am currently using a foxpro patriot with mfk sounds and a primos alpha Dogg.
I am probably going to get a foxpro x24 with mfk sounds next.
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

https://www.wildlifetech.com/pages/product.htmlIf you want to pick your calls and have the best sound ever, then here is your answer. Yes, it's expensive, but it's worth it to me. I gave my other e-callers away to beginners.

I like the old Foxpro 416B & 532B callers....These are the old ones that look like a Ray-O-Vac flashlight case that fits handily into a coat pocket & weighs very little.
The advantage of these older callers is that they were made before Foxpro tried to marry you to their proprietary sounds.
30 second sound loops, and you can use a Foxpro PG-1A adapter to record yourself calling from a microphone, or record from a jack on a record player, cassette player, MP3, etc....The big advantage to that is you can utilize older, more obscure sounds that everyone & their brother no longer uses.
Many think you need the most modern caller with all the bells & whistles, but the $$ it takes for those features doesn't justify it in the end.

I am going to keep an eye on this one as the whole calling thing has me intrigued .... never seen or heard one of those things but keep reading that they work. may be a giggle in conjunction with the NV scope and lamp for night time predators

That's my rig, the old 416B Fox Pro and the recording adapter. Also I got the remote speaker with 100' of cord; that comes in handy sometimes. I've had this rig for over 20 years. Works well enough that I've not upgraded to anything else. Four sound loops is all I use. Plenty enough. Very simple unit to operate..

I use my FoxPro Hellfire when I use an e-caller. I prefer to use mouth calls in close cover with a shotgun though. Handcalls & shotgun are my favorite much of the time as well.
