FOXPRO

[Bobcat]

I am curious if anyone has used any of the new Foxpro callers in the field yet. My only experience with them was several years ago and I wasn't too excited about them. I have been following their development and understand that they have come a long way.

Bob,
So you had one of those too? Sounds like it worked almost as good as mine did. I would love to see a good honest testamonial on the new and improved Foxpro. I know that they will work, but how good do they work? How much range does their new remote control really have? How good is the sound quality?

Hi BOBCAT,

If you have any questions regarding our new callers, give me a call at our toll free no. Our units are consistently exceeding the expectations of new owners. You will not know for yourself until you get one in your hands. That is the true review of any caller. Our callers have always sold themselves. Give me a call and I would love to answer any other questions. Thanks!

Hey Mike,

Welcome to the Posse! It is great to have you over here. Congrats on the new addition to the family also!

As I stated above, my only actual field exposure to the Fox Pro was with the very first model. At the time, it did not seem to have enough volume. I have been following your constant upgrades. The newer remote units have been getting great feedback.

I want any of the manufacturers to have a place to give us the basic features of their units and how they make us more successful predator callers.

There are many units out there now to sort through from the Prey Master at $140 to the Wildlife Technologies unit at $1039.

Tell us more about yours........

Hey Mike,

I just saw your post in the other thread.......thanks for expanding a bit on your units.

For those of you not familiar with the Foxpro,here it is:

I was ask about 3 weeks ago by FOXPRO to be put on their field staff, and accepted without hesitation. I don't take lightly attaching my name to any product. They have a great product, and great customer service, and I'm proud to be on their field staff.

I have been using a FOXPRO call for sometime now and love it. I think the remote will work way further than it needs too, and get way louder than it needs too. The first stand I used it on produced a double, and by 8:00 am I had 4 coyotes in the back of the truck. I hunted practicaly every huntable day last year and never had one complaint. Just this past weekend I made six stands and called in and captured on film two bobcats and three coyotes.

I guide people on predator hunts and depend on my caller to work everytime, and the FOXPRO has never let me down.

Good Huntin

Byron South,
Have you tested the remote control for maximum reliable range under perfect line of sight conditions?

[Jay Nistetter]

Byron,
Rich and I are looking forward to perform our field test on your caller.

[Bobcat]

Not having the proper US Coast Guard approved floatation devices attached to my electronic caller, we quietly watched as the unit sank, replete with bubbles reminiscent of a Jaques Cousteau film clip.

With snail-like abandon, AARP Candidate #2 bravely entered the flowing waters penetrating the depths in attempt to retrieve the unit while claiming rights of salvage under Maritime Law.

AARP candidate #2 did retrieve the PreyMaster caller (which was renamed PrAyMaster) and proceeded to drain canal water from the unit. Having had experience with hand calls, AARP candidate #2 proceeded to blow the unit, which I found quite ironic.

This new testing technique could become the industry standard......... ;D

Mike are you going to offer a Posse group buy or discount on some of these great units. I could always use a new one. My non-remote version has always been faithful.

[Bobcat]

BW,

Gamecalls.net had the new units on sale at about a $150 off. I don't know if the sale is still going on, but you might check: www.gamecalls.net/

They are also giving one away the end of this month!!

FWIW, My buddy and I are going to Childress this weekend to do some calling. He just bought one of the new Foxpro model 12b I believe. It's the new lower priced call in Cabela's catalog for $149.00. When we get back, I can write up our experience with it if someone is interested.

[Bobcat]

Hey toecatch,

He probably has the new non-remote FP-38. It has 8 sounds:

Coyote Pup Distress
Coyote Male Challenge
Red Fox Pup Distress
Gray Fox Pup Distress
Bobcat In Heat
Rabbit Distress
Woodpecker Distress
Rodent Squeak

It can also be used with the optional pg-1 recording adaptor to record your own sounds. There is a 60-second timer switch so you can set it out away from you and have time to get back to where you are sitting.

Let us know how you do and take some picuters.

Good Hunting,

Bob

[toecatch]

You're right, that's the one. I'll write up our experience tomorrow as we just got in, and I'm beat. 5 am comes awfull early

Foxpro is one of my best sponsors for the youth hunter program and Mike has helped this program in many ways, with this said if I didn't belive in this product I would never say anything at all about it. The companys that I lend my name to are top shelf all the way or their not supporting this Org.

The more I use this wonderful little e-caller the more coyotes and fox I'm getting. Learning how to use it along with hand calls and the ability to set it out to 100 yards + and distract the coyotes and get their attention off me and the kids that are on hunts, has been the best thing to happen to my predator hunting program.

I also do alot of ADC on roague dogs (calf killers) and this is my new atom bomb. I can do things with this that I never thought possible. It has cut down on my time afield and doubled my take on stock killers. The sounds are great and I trust this Foxpro to do its job everytime.
