Which Electronic Caller for Coyotes?
Guys,
Looking to buy an electric caller for coyote hunting. I'll probably only go a handfull of times each year. So I don't want to spend $500. But I know you get what you pay for and those sub $50 are getting really bad view over on cabela forums. I like the idea of no wire going to the speaker. That said the Western Rivers MP3 caller for $249 seems pretty good or the Hunters Specialties (has a cord). Like the capabilty of loading different calls on the MP3 style.
What's everyone using that works?

A friend of mine has the westerm RIvers call, and it works pretty decently, just not as many bells and whistles on it as some of the higher dollar machines!

Just got a Western Rivers remote control call a few weeks ago. Just got back in from hunting tonight and am about ready to throw the thing in the trash. I will post a forum asking for input on this call but from my experience I would stay away from this brand. Plus I emailed their customer service back on Dec. 10th and I have yet to hear back from them. I sent them a bit nastier email earlier today. We'll see if I get a response to this one.

I've been using a Foxpro 414b for the past 2 years. I got the remote with it and it works great. I like being able to put it about 100 yardsupwind from me when hunting coyotes so when they circle they are right in my lap. With the 416, you can purchase sounds off the website or download your own off the computer via CDs. It's been a great caller so far.

the foxpro fx-3 does not have a lifetime warranty, it comes with a 5 year warranty, which does not cover damage from batteries or water, i just went to the website to look it up. i also noticed after i read in the warranty part, that the fx-3 is not water proof/resistant, that might be a bit of an influence on me buying one, i still want one though, its in my plans for my tax return things to buy list

make your own. buy a mini amp and a speaker or two. use a mp3 player with this to set up sequences of your own. you can use sounds off varmintal.com or buy them from fox pro to use on your mp3 player.
