| I have had mine about 10 years & has been great.Need to send it in for repairs. I think it's the best caller made !
There is nothing as permanent as a good temporary repair.

| Judge I don't know much about that particular caller, sorry. I do use an older Fox Pro and mouth calls just as much. |

| Not familiar with that call. It may be a good one. I and three guys that I call with have FoxPros and they work very well.

| Notice how many guys use a Foxpro? Get a different electronic caller if for only that reason.
My theory is because so many guys use a Foxpro (excellent caller, by the way), coyotes get used to the sounds and are less likely to respond to them after their first near-death experience. If we killed every coyote that came to the call, they won't get educated, but, alas, that doesn't happen. |

| Thank you, that is very good advice. They'd recognize the "voice" and not want to come to it a second time if they got burned the first one. |

About 15 years ago, my then 13yo son and his buddy shot at one I called in and they missed, but they kept lobbing shots as long as they could see him. I noticed the coyote had lots of red hair in his hip area (not from a bullet) as he runs. 3 weeks later, I am in the same area getting set up to call, and a coyote pops up about 400 yds out. I start calling with the same call as before and this guy just flat out runs away, full speed. My bino's show me very red hips, so I assume it's the same coyote. A week later, I go in again, but this time I howl, in he comes and kill him at about 50yds. So, yes, I think they remember the sound that almost got them skinned. I just don't know how long they remember it. |

| That verifies just exactly what you are saying. I believe they recognize different tones/voices also. I appreciate your input. The wolves have been hunted pretty hard in our area. And just about everyone is using the FoxPro. The hunters have all been talking about how much more difficult it is to call them in now. Many thanks to you and may this upcoming year be your best ever. Jerry |

| Conservatively speaking, I'd say Wildlife Technologies was about 20 years ahead of the curve. That's actually being charitable. |

Have you ever seen a seasoned duck hunter with just one call on his lanyard? I have been on stands where I use call 'A', with no results. Then, before I stand up, I have switched to call 'B' and a coyote stands up in the sage/grass 500yds out, and in he comes. I know he heard the first call, but something about the 2nd call made him commit, even though both calls were cottontail in distress. Good luck. |
