Might have been the one with 2 remotes. Whos’s call is that?

I’d swear I saw it here, but maybe not.

Thanks again for the pics.

Edit - honestly, the next call I get is going to be bought on the aspect ratio of the remote and not what the call can do. My FoxPro is basically useless to me now cause I can’t see the remote.

That's the remote to an Icotec outlaw.

Which FoxPro is it & are you going to sell it? I just ordered a lucky duck rebel yesterday but I might be interested if I could afford it. PM me if you want to get rid of it

I’ve wanted a .243 AR for awhile.

I put one together over the summer. Might take it and see if I can call up something one day next week.

Have you contacted FoxPro to see if one of their more recent remotes with a larger display could be used with your caller? I have a FoxPro Firestorm I bought new but only used it a couple of times before finding a used Fury that has a better display (for me) on the remote.

I would be interested in purchasing a new remote if it would would with the Firestorm and had a larger display.

Looks like my FoxPro caller that I've had for close to 12 years has bit the dust.
I was calling withit the other day, right near my parents back yard, & as I was picking my stuff up to quit, I remember getting a call & answered the phone cause it was a good friend of mine. I must have set the speaker down somewhere instead of in my backpack. Cause a couple days later I saw it at the corner of the house all chewed up & broken from our Pyrenees pup. She likes to eat things that are not digestible.
I started to get mad at her, but then remembered that it was my fault too.
Live & learn I guess.

That's a bummer, there's plenty of new e calls now and like cell phones they've improved a bunch in 12 years

Yeah,
I'm looking at one that I can download the prey calls that I want from a large library of calls. That way I don't have sounds on the caller that I'll never use, like I did before.

 

[Osage1978]

I'm kind of the opposite I only need a dozen or so sounds on the call. I typically start a session with a hand call be it howling or distress & then let the e caller take over once I figure they're coming. I have been busy hand calling many times and had a coyote staring at me while I was working the call & didn't get a shot because he bolted seeing me move before I spotted him. I just haven't found an e caller that's as successful for me as my hand calling in getting them coming especially off their beds during the day, e caller with decoy is best if using one in my opinion

If I'm going to do a bunch howling I prefer a diaphragm call 10 to 1 over an open reed howler just for the sound quality but both work, the red desert howler is a nice open reed howler. But if I used an e caller primarily I'd run one with as many sounds as possible, I've seen them with over a 500 sound library before. I'd probably buy one of the nicer icotecs

I pretty much stay with your generic rabbit sounds, grey fox distress , woodpecker distress & howls & I will use fawn distress when does are birthing in my are. That bag of tricks will get 99% of coyotes and bobcats.

I'm still using a Foxpro FX5

Gunwise, my slow twist 22-243 gets the most use, but also have a 22-250, 243, and now a 260 to try on them. Shot one coyote during rifle season with the 260, 140 A Max put her right down, she was a heavy one too!
