Which electronic caller to purchase


Recommended Posts

Well my old Johnny Stewart tape player has finally took a dirt nap. With all the new electronic calls out there today which call or calls maybe give one the best bang for the buck an why? I'm not against spending cash but I'm not sure I need a $400 caller (maybe I do).

Foxpro is a nice call. It is the only experience I have. Seems simple to use and sounds good the fox I shot seemed to like it till they fell over.

I have 2 cousins that have the same brand. Between the 3 of us 2spit fire and 2 firestorm

I have a Wildfire II that I picked up after christmas and I love it. The calls come pre-loaded with certain sounds and you have either have Foxpro load additional sounds for you, if you order through them, or you can download additional sounds from their HSOforum. They do have a forum that offers a ridiculous amount of information from experienced hunters as long as the Foxpro staff putting in their recommendations for ideas/problems/solutions.

As far as the difference between a Firestorm and Wildfire II, I'm not sure but I wouldn't be suprised if everything has a little more room to top out at, such as volume range, remote features, call capacity, etc. I wouldn't hesitate buying another Foxpro if mine were to go down but I've got the factory 3 year warranty, plus it's made in the USA!

they have a pile of free sounds to download, and a pile of ones not free... You can buy sounds packs or like 4 8 and 16 i think... its not terribly expensive... most of the ones I put on where free, and one 16 sound pack I believe... usually the difference is in the remotes, speakers and sound quality...

    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
