Range needed for a remote caller?
e-Caller is done and the easy test of the radio link (mail box to the porch) indicates it works fine at 125 yards with no line of sight (around a part of a building).

How much range is really needed for a remote caller? I'd think at some point the target would get small as the distance to the caller increased.

I don't think I've ever put mine further than 30 yards away.

I make a lot of stands and generally no more than 30 minutes at a location, most of the time half that and move.

Most of my varmint calling is at night with a light for bobcats and gray fox.

just place it where they have to give you a good shot when they go down wind to check it out.30-40 yards should work ok

I would say no further than 50 yards or so depending on the area. I try to set up within 50 yards with the best view of the downwind area. Keep watch behind you to make sure that they don't circle around on top of you.

You can put a remote call farther out, but 30 yds. is plenty far. I use a foxpro fx3 with a quiver rabbit decoy. Its deadly on fox using a jackrabbit or cottontail distress call.

No more than 30 or so yards and never out of sight
