Hi Bud/Or
I apologize for this coming out in your original post. As stated, it has nothing to do with your post. When I see an inaccurate statement, however, I feel that it is my job to clear them up. Any of the callers mentioned will call in predators, and all are good units. If I can be of further assistance with our unit, feel free to call me. I will be out all next week at a show, but any of the other people that answer the phone will be more than glad to assist you. Thanks!

Hey Mike and Forum,
Just returned from a kick-ass hunt, on the East side, with my boys. I don't think I'll talk numbers though. It doesn't seem safe to go there.
Man...I don't know what went on here, in my absence, but...If asking for helpful advice, and hoping for anecdotal feedback (I think that's where I was coming from) gets this kind of response...I need to check my people skills and delivery. I feel like I'm neck deep in Lake Silly...one more step...
Anyhow, Mike, I know you make a good machine. I'm kind of gun-shy right now to ask any more questions and I will not participate in 'My daddy can beat up your daddy', I'm too old for that, so I wish you all well and I'll probably talk to you later.
Bud

To settle this.... If you want to!!!!
The only way to settle the claims made here is for the respected eletronic call makers have an independent lab test them for their claims. And below the test results have an brief explaination of just where each product finished at.
That is if you guys really want to know, or your content with bickering like "girly girls"!!!!!
Happy New Years
Rob

Hey Bud/OR,
Since you have sparked a 3 page thread that should probably have answered your question in the first 5 or 6 replies I will give you a little of my experience with E-Callers.
I had the old JS Tape Deck with the black speaker on 50' of cord. Plain and simple it still worked and coyotes will still respond. Now since I let a friend borrow it and break it. I started looking for my next caller. I knew what I wanted in one and began looking for that caller. I looked at all of them.
Long story short I happened upon the WT Caller and saved my money till I could buy it.
Now you will ask how can I justify the 800.00 or so dollars. Think of this, will get a caller with 32 sounds and if needed can upgrade to 100 total sounds. But with 32 sounds you can call almost any thing you will ever want to. So now won't ever have to buy another caller or sound card to be broken or lost. Unless you lend it to a friend who breaks it.
So far I'm constantly amazed at the response I get with the WT over what I'm used to.
Do the other products? Well sure they do.
I don't know if you have ever head someone in the woods using a caller but most of the time you can tell it's a caller and not the real deal.
Recently I was deer hunting and decided to take my WT to the stand. The morning was boring to at about 8:30 when I started blasting my buck heavy rattel and grunt..... Did I call any deer... No my Vol was to loud.. But I did have 3 hunters get out of their stand to see these massive deer that were going at it. What did they find..... Me Laughing as I watched them try to sneak in to my area....
So I recommend you call each of these call makers and ask questions. You may find Bill friendlier than folks have said.
Just my 2 cents.
Rob

Welcome back to Lake Silly, Bud. Congratulations on your kick-ass hunt. We want to see some numbers though. Damn the torpedos. Give us some numbers. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
You truly want some anecdotal advice?
I've hunted both sides of your state. A Walkman with a JS Canine Puppies tape is all you really need in the thick shit on the wet side. $35.
A Sceery AP6 (bird trills, rodent squeaks, cottontail distress, puppie distress, kitten and cat squalls) and an AP3 are all you need on the east side. $35 for the two. Ease of transport, versatility, access to immediate response are all unmatched by any E-caller. I own Lohman CD, JS cassette, Phantom digital and a Loudmouth. I have called with FoxPros and WTs and I am prepared to give you anecdotal. Fire away. Perhaps we can lure BM back. He is always entertaining. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

What the hell are you going to do with 32 sounds? Other than get confused and hit the wrong one, or be so busy playing with all the different sounds you scare off more than you call in?
My little toy quality FoxPro does a hell of a good job with only 8 sounds. But I only occasionally use 4. Most of the time I pick between only two.
It may not be able to be heard with perfect stereo quality in the next county, but what the hell do I care. I think I've only turned the volume up to the half way mark once. Then it was way too loud.
These WT's are a lot like the Bose Wave Radio's. Nice but over priced. ( Be sure to ask about financing options ) I don't need to spend that much to have just as much fun as the guys who do.

What the Hell would an independent lab know about calling coyotes?

Swimmin in lake silly.
Well DAA or is it DUH J/K.... All in good humor out here in lake silly.
A lab will prove or disprove if the callers hardware can deliver what it claims and the quality of the sound wheather it is 4 bit or 24 bit.
Hi Tim,
What I do with 32 sounds. Well I only use 4 to 6 calling yotes and sometims more but the other sounds are for when I go say deer hunting, Snow Goose in the extended season where E-callers are permitted, Sometimes it's fun to call coons out of someones attic for them, or you want hunt more than just coyotes.
I'm sure your FoxPro works great. Like I said I used a JS Tape Deck for a while and I thought it worked great.
So I'm back stroking here in lake silly wondering why am I explaining myself when I only tried to give a different perspective.

Every time us girly girls get to talking about the technical aspects of sound; digital, analog, whatever? I start wondering if a Circe jackrabbit is 24 bit sound, because there is sure as hell no arguing with success.
So much for authentic, realistic sound. If cassette tapes don't work, hell, I started with Port-a-fours and eight track players. I promise, those crummy sounds called a bunch of animals, in their time.
Good hunting. LB

I'm still confused. Actually caninus is the lay term for the levator anguli oris, the facial muscle that draws the lips up and back... a snarl.
So your screen name means wolf snarl. If you had meant it to mean wolf you would have called yourself canis lupus, unless you meant the ontario sub-species of timber wolf, then it would be canis lycaon, unless you meant Texas red wolf, then it would have been canis rufus, unless you meant the northern subspecies, then it would be canis niger,unless you meant... oh heck, I'm still confused. Actually I thought you were a dyslexic bad speller.

Well Rich, your correct I'm verry bad speller, even worse when I use spell check.
I meant it to be wolf dog.... Thats what I get for wanting to be like the other cool people with kick@ss screen names. LOL
A friend of mine had a screen name once of Canius Castor. What species can you derive out of it?

Lenord, I agree there is no arguing with sucess. If you got something working for you then stick with it.
Now that you've brought up the history of e-calling with the mention of Port-a-fours and eight track players. When did they arrive on the sceen? Was it just after GOD said "let there be light"? Did he see Adam struggling to call in a meal and say let there be e-callers? Just how far back did these things start?

Well Rob, a castor is a beaver... everyone knows what a beaver is A canius is what Bomba's chief tried to define... a result of too much Viagra. So a canius castor would mean artificially enhanced boner and a beaver. Which would be a species that never had to leave the house.

Damn. You might know they did not get my new computer built to Jan 3. Now I see what all I missed. On second thought did I miss anything at all.
Like Jay says "There just Dogs". Sound boards, amps, hertz, waves, Independent labs, My ass. Just sit still and blow the call.
