Introduction

As someone who enjoys the thrill of predator hunting, especially for coyotes, finding the right tools is crucial. One of the biggest game-changers in our hunting gear is the electronic predator calls. I’ve been doing some research and I’m hoping to gather feedback on what the best-rated options are out there. If you have experience with any particular models, I’d love to hear about them!

What to Look For

When searching for an electronic predator call, here are some key features I think we should consider:

  • Sound Quality: The clarity and realism of the sounds are essential. We want calls that mimic actual prey sounds accurately.
  • Range: Is the caller effective over long distances? This can vary widely between models.
  • Remote Usability: How easy is it to operate? A remote that’s intuitive can make all the difference when you’re out in the field.
  • Battery Life: We know that long hunts can drain batteries, so it’s important to have a call that can last the entire trip.
  • Variety of Sounds: The more sounds a caller offers, the better. Options for different species can be an added advantage.

Your Experiences

I would love to hear from fellow hunters! What models have you used? Which ones have you found to be the most effective?

Suggested Brands to Discuss

  • FoxPro: Known for their extensive sound libraries and reliable performance.
  • Primos: Their calls are popular among many hunters for ease of use and effectiveness.
  • ICOtec: These often get great reviews for value and functionality.

Conclusion

I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. The right call can make a huge difference, so let’s help each other out!

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I’ve recently been using the Foxpro Inferno, and I’m really impressed with its range and effectiveness. I called in a coyote from over 200 yards with it! Anyone else had similar success?

That’s awesome! I’ve heard great things about the Foxpro line. I’m currently debating between it and the Primos Alpha Dog. Any thoughts?

The Primos Alpha Dog is a solid choice! I used it last season and had success with it calling in bobcats. Its sounds are very realistic, which helps a lot in those scenarios.

I also own the Alpha Dog but found it less effective in open fields compared to wooded areas. The sounds just didn’t carry as well. It works better in cover, in my experience.

That’s interesting! Maybe location makes a huge difference. Have any of you tried the Lucky Duck Revolt? I’ve heard it has a good range.

I’ve got the Lucky Duck Revolt! It works wonders in both open plains and wooded areas. The sound quality is amazing, and I’ve had multiple successful hunts with it.

8

I agree! Sound clarity can really make or break a hunt. Have you noticed any patterns in calling success with different species?

Great question! I’ve seen that distress calls work really well for coyotes, while predator calls seem to attract foxes better. It’s all about knowing your target!

10

Have you all ever noticed how wild the situation can get when a coyote responds? My heart races every time! It’s exhilarating.

11

I can relate to that! Every hunt feels like an adventure. I just love the unpredictability of it all!

Also, I’ve had less success when using electronic calls too close to a deer stand. I guess it scares them off rather than attracting them.

That’s a good point! I thought the same, but I know a few guys who swear by it near their stands. It’s interesting how varied experiences can be.

Right? Sometimes I feel like it depends on the area or even the time of year!

Humorously, I’ve pretended to be the predator a few times while calling – it does not draw as many animals, but it makes for great stories afterwards! :joy:

LOL! That sounds hilarious! I’d pay to see that! But in all seriousness, which calls do you all think would be the best for beginners?

I’ve been using the FoxPro Shockwave for a year now, and it’s been a game changer for my coyote hunts. The sound quality is top-notch!

18

I totally agree! I switched to the FoxPro Inferno last season, and it’s incredibly effective too. The variety of sounds helps bring predators in from a distance.

Don’t overlook the Primos Hunting Electronic Predator Call! It’s simple to use and lightweight. Perfect for those long hikes in.

The Primos call is nice. However, I found the Wildlife Technologies calls to be more reliable in windy conditions. Anyone else feel the same?
