Worth the $?

Best brand?

Best model of that brand for the $?

Thanks in advance. I think I am in the market for a decent caller...….want to buy good used at a price that I can flip it easily if it does not work out.

FoxPro is by FAR the leader in calls.
Fury is what I have. Lots of critters have died over it.

I have an Icotec gc500, have used it twice and called coyotes in both times. Have heard some complain it isnt loud enough but it works for me.

Wildlife technologies has by far the best sounds available but the customer service is terrible. I had a problem with my antenna and they didn't want to sell me one. They wanted me to buy a new call. I sold it as is and bought a Fox Pro CS24b and have killed a lot of coyotes with it. I like where you can put what ever sounds you want on it as with the W.T. call you get what is on it. Fox Pro is the way to go. I never owned the others mentioned above so I don't know about them.

FoxPro Fusion is the best electronic caller I have ever used. If you go to AllPredatorCall.com you can get a factory refurbished and save quite a bit of money. Mine was $150 off the regular price.

This is a big issue - FoxPro callers use proprietary sounds, so if you want more they are expensive. The Fusion model will accept any MP3 sound so if you “find” other sounds elsewhere they can go right on.

Here is a tip to remember. Remove the batteries from the caller and remote when finished. It is easy to forget about them in the spring and then next fall find something corroded.

I have a FoxPro Prarie Blaster with 300 plus calls on it. Lots of coyotes, fox and cats have lost their skins because of it. Countless crows also.

I bought a refurbished Foxpro FX5 around 7 years ago and it still runs like a new one. I have 200 sounds on it. I paid $250 for it. Pair it up with Night Eyes lights and you’re good to go

I do like the FoxPro brand but.
Alot of that has do do with the remote, not just the call.
There new remotes are WAY more advanced than any others.
I call alone most often and many times I'll position the call and go 200 yards downwind.
Try that with any other brand wink

I have the Icotec. I really like being able to run the call up to 300 yards away with the hand held remote.
It also has a push button to stop or start the fur teaser. I think mine is plenty loud.

you guys that set up and move 200 yards how do you do that undetected? I have a hard time sneaking into a stand and using a mouth call without getting "busted". A coyote has to be the most alert animal in N. America.

Yeah the remote works great at that distance to. I also think mine is loud enough. I tested the volume, had my wife at a distance of more than 1/4 mile (maybe 1/2) and she heard it loud and clear. While we were testing it i had a coyote come in to about 15 yards.

This is the one I just got to replace my old Crossfire. The Crossfire still worked good just wanted a bit more volume. Going to be hard to find a better choice for the money IMO. You can choose the 100 calls you want on it and they program it before they ship it to you. 100 calls is ALOT I typically use maybe 25 of them at all. Hope that helps Marty!

Marty. If your set on getting an ecall, get o good one.
Will be more money but with this coyote market, very possible to have it paid off quik.
Personally, I'd get the FoxPro fusion.

FoxPro is American made!!!! Ask who owns these other companys and were these other calls are made. Also how good is the warranty and turn around time. When people talk about predator calls they always use Foxpro as a reference point to start from. I owned Foxpro for probably 20 years. I do like there top of the line calls. I tried there cheaper calls but always end up with there upper end priced calls.

Do yourself a favor and buy the power charger and rechargeable batteries they burn through them in the cold.

X2 you don't need to buy the FoxPro brands though. There are rechargable batteries/charger cheaper on Amazon, better batteries too.

I have used FoxPro for many years. Recently purchased a Lucky Duck Revolt from the Verminator (Rick Paillet). Have only had it out a couple times. Sound quality is better/louder than my FoxPro. Built in decoy and ability to rotate call from remote is a huge advantage. I am not sold on how well the call itself will hold up as I think the FoxPro is a bit more sturdy (I am hard on equipment). As far as sounds go Rick's sounds are second to none! Maybe it is just something new but I do think that the sounds that Rick has on these calls are more realistic and have really produced for me. Excited to get out more and continue to test the new Lucky Duck. So far I would give it the nod over the fox pro.
