anyone have homemade electronic callers?

[ricoboxing]

Has anyone here made there own electronic callers?
Would an MP3 player hooked up to some speakers work? or would it not be loud enough. Those electronic callers they sell cost an arm and a leg so I need to make my own.

E=callers don't have to cost an arm and aleg. It depends on how much quality and how many features you want.

Here's a link to build your own. http://www.predatormastersforums.com/homemadeecaller.html

The commercial units offer features that a homemade won't, but there have been tons of coyotes called with homemade units.

Hope this helps.

Easy to make but, illegal to hunt with in Ontario I beleive.

I did make one years ago to call in some Coyot to shoot with my camera at night. Those suckers came so close, they were brumping into me.

Hello Rico:

Electronic calls may not be used for turkey and migratory birds. Electronic calls are allowed for other game.

Thank you for your enquiry. I hope this helps.

all you need is an MP3 player, a pocket amp from Radio Shack and a small horn speaker. Grab a small shaving kit bag and you're in business. I used this set up 2 years ago and bagged alot of coyotes and found the only downfall was that it lacked a remote which is real nice.
You can find your sounds on Western digital game calls or varmint als.

Just because they're sold in stores doesn't mean you can use them everywhere.

They sell them in Alberta as well, but they are illegal to use for hunting here.

It is unlawful to set out, use or employ any of the following items for the purpose of hunting any wildlife:

* an arrow equipped with an explosive head,
* a firearm that is capable of firing more than one bullet during one pressure of the trigger or a firearm that can be altered to operate as such,
* a light,
* a shotgun of a gauge greater than 10,
* a device designed to deaden the sound of the report of a firearm,
* recorded wildlife calls or sounds, or an electrically operated calling device,
* a pistol or revolver,
* live wildlife,
* a swivel set or spring gun, or
* a poisonous substance or an immobilizing drug.
