Icotec or Primos ? Programmable is a plus.

The Revolt is out of my price range. I see that the Foxpro Inferno fit my budget. Any other callers under $200 that are suggested ?

At $200 I like the icotec GC500, get it from allpredatorcalls.com and you can get 200 calls programmed on it. Its been a good caller for me. I like foxpro but mainly for the excellent remote, but you got to get into the fusion to get that. Their lower end calls I don't think have anything on the gc500 from icotek.

Main uses would be locating coyotes, killing crows and maybe hogs with pig distress call. I would like to try calling predators, but understand it's hard down here due to our terrain. Lots of large wooded areas although there are some clearcuts I may be able to get access on.

https://www.amazon.com/FOXPRO-Prair...p;sprefix=foxpro%2Caps%2C204&sr=8-33 - just a little over your $200 but well worth it IMO.

How much will you use it?
A buddy of mine gets a year to year and a half out of a foxpro
At least they warranted them
Switched to the revolt this year

FoxPro is all I ever use now. They are the best, and have excellent customer service.

If locating coyotes is the goal go out or online and get an old hand crank siren. Coyotes will answer to that as well as anything else I have tried and I have tried most.

I have a spitfire that I us now for my snow goose box but family got me a icotec gc500 a few years ago I have had 0 problems with it. The only complaint I had with the spit fire was the remote range seemed like everything had to be just perfect, a corn stubble field was the kiss of death. The Icotec remote range is excellent I stretched it out to 150 yards just to see and it worked fine.
One thing with Fox Pro their customer service is top notch
