This is a great call. It has plenty of calls already programmed on it but also allows you to download many others on the website. I recommend it for people who want a good game call without breaking the bank.

I’ve used this on quite a few stands now and really like it. Super light and compact. Sound quality is good and battery life is good even in zero degree Wyoming weather. Online sound library has good sound options. Only con is volume on windy days but that’s to be expected in this small unit running on AA battery’s. Overall great entry level E-caller.

Price, easy to set up and use. There is no light on the speaker yo scare of critters at night.

I read a lot of reviews on this game call. A few said it was a pain to download new sound. Its took me a few minutes to figure out and I now can get it done in a matter of seconds. The speaker it self is plain which is nice. The last caller I had had a screen on it that turn on tell you what was playing. The problem with that is I can't seen the screen when the speaker is deployed down range so why have it. And it doesn't shut off until I shut it off. Is the sound the greatest? No but it is pretty good for a caller in this price range. The remote is bad a$$. After re number all the sounds in a order that I liked it works perfectly. Which I would say way easy to accomplish. It has 2 favorites that hold 4 each is cool to. Over all the call is cool and does the job. I would buy it again.

Digital Clarity with Diverse Calls, Strong Volume & Easy Remote Operation

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

Good electronic call... nice and adjustable loudness with 25 individual calls. The remote worked from about 100 yards - with the speaker hidden behind my shooting berm. When my wife was walking the dog at dusk, I hit her with the Wood Pecker Distress call to get her attention, then went to the Coyote Pup Distress to lure her in close - then upped the volume an hit her with the high pitched Female Coyote howl. She about had a hart attack, started yelling for me to come quick - so it's plenty realistic. Afterwards he said her hart was racing cause it scared the sheite out of her :-) The remote also activates / deactivates the Predator Decoy (sold separately) and the remote screen has a faint light to help see / scroll thru the list of calls at night... but the text is to small and the light to dim for my eyes - without reading glasses. They say additional calls /files can be added but so far I have not been able to figure out how... may have to use a separate SD card, or it may only read MP3 files (I'm not sure). Anyhow, I like the call just fine and plan to use it for coon, bob cat and coyote.

this is a caller for no wind days must use in daylight hours backlight is not great. It is not as loud as fox pro or primos alpa dogg. It is resonably priced for the beginner.. Just wait Iam sure before long you will see a bigger better one come from the same company. It is nice to carry very light. It is best to make sure you carry a mouth call with you. I have already encounter a small problem with the on off switch on the remote. In cold weather below 20 degrees it does not want to turn on, this has happened several times already. Maybe it is just mine I will send it in later. It is easy to load new sounds that is a plus, also the company will be offering new sounds very soon they say like in two weeks. You can set it out a verylong ways from you and not on line of sight and it works great. You get what you pay for.

Great call! Called in a few coyotes in a non hunting area to see if it worked. I was truly surprised. Tried the crow call and was mobbed by crows. I mean the call was mobbed they kept flying around looking for the crow in distress. Truly amazing. The remote works from anywhere from 3 inches to beyond 300 yrds. Further than anybody would ever need. Just great! I was always looking at fox pro but the price was to steep. This call does everything on less batteries more distance and downloading new calls is a snap.
