Magnarson Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Was out this morning White Bear Lk area, Minneapolis, MN. Placed E-Caller out 40 yards on top of swamp grass. Brand new Energizer batteries x8. Temp 4 F. Unit stopped running in 5-7 min. Used mouth call uneventfully. Back to truck, put in new warm batteries, stuck a sticky Body warmer over the battery door. (You know the ones from F.F. disposable, shake em up). E-Caller could of gone all day. Went home and wrapped caller in camp cloth. Now all i do is stick one of those hand warmers under the cloth next to the battery door and cold weather beat. Rookie lesson #1 learned. Never hunted this cold, except deer near Baudette, MN. Im new to Coyote hunting, but not to hunting. Anyone in the Mpls/St Paul Minnesota area willing to team up, speak up, let me know! E-Caller is Wilderness River Apache with remote.

Grayfox Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I use a FOXPRO with rechargeable energizer batteries and have never had a problem with cold affecting my caller. I have two sets rigged up and every day we plan to go out I recharge both sets and alternate the sets. I put the caller inside a facemask, white or camo depending on when I'm hunting. Never had to use the second set during all nighters and the batteries last several years.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
