Anyone here running a Foxpro for coyotes? I've been considering one but I've got limited experience coyote hunting and I'm curious if there is a difference between them or if they're worth the money.
 
I have the cheapo Foxpro Spitfire and ordered from a place in the US where you can choose the 24 calls and they'll program them on there.
Seems to work really good, the only downside is the volume. Level 1-3 is pretty much useless, level 4 is OK when it's dead quiet, no wind and Level 5 is relatively loud, though a bit distorted. I'm looking at getting an external speaker to hook up to boost volume.
The "magpie fight" call brings in ravens and magpies from miles away, I've had up to 35 circling the caller. The "jackrabbit distress" and "snowshoe HP" seem to work good for coyotes. I've also got the various wolf howl calls, though no luck with those yet, perhaps this winter.
 
I have the fury and love it! Hand calling is very rewarding, but you can do things with a Foxpro that simply can't be done with hand calls.
I use it for coyote, fox, crows even deer.
Foxpro has a few inexpensive models available too.
It is very handy when dealing wish wise coyotes, ones that have been shot at as well as ones who have been wised up to regular calls.
 
I have the Blaster, works great, actually pretty easy to put sounds on too. I have to get that magpie fight sound though..

I used to have a Spitfire but I switched to the Scorpion model recently. It has 50 calls in it (expandable to 200), the sound quality is great and the volume adjustment is better than on the Spitfire. The Scorpion has removable memory card and it can play multiple file formats (MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, FXP) which makes programming much easier. It's also the smallest size unit available. I have a FoxPro Jack In The Box 2 unit with it. I'll use it for coyotes, foxes and crows in the winter season.
 
I have the fx 3and called in several coyotes last year unfortunately only one came into shooting range.but i think that was due to my learning curve and not a problem with the caller,In my opinion foxpro has the best customer service i have ever encountered.

FoxPro customer service is second to none. They stand by their products and will replace any defective part/units at shipping cost only. Next runner up is RCBS IMO....
 
I have an fx3. Had it for 4 years now. Called lots of coyotes with it, but I find myself leaving it at home more and more and just taking a few hands calls. Rabbit squealer and turkey box call. Both work just as good, I don't know why, but I called more coyotes in with the handcall over the foxpro, about 1 coyote for every 3 stands.


I find you can put in more emotion to the calls and can change it up a lot better with the hand calls over the electronic. I keep the foxpro for crow hunting now.

If you are calling 1 coyote in for every 3 stands on a consistent basis, then you Sir certainly are the Pied Piper of coyotes!
 
I have a spitfire and it works just fine for where I hunt which would be all shots under 200 yards. I can see volume being a problem however in the open areas out west etc where you guys take 500 yard shots every day.
 
Volume is overrated... You should never use more than what the sound you are recreating would normally make... Ok... Maybe a bit more... Lol... But you are better off making more stands and less noise

Agree if you got the knees and back to do the walking.Not hard to tell you are not an old fart like me. We need the volume.:D

The FOXPRO FIRESTORM is portable, lightweight, easy to operate and is a must have tool in the field. The FIRESTORM comes standard with 50 high quality FOXPRO sounds and is capable of storing up to 200 sounds. The FIRESTORM is capable of playing multiple file types which include .MP3, .WAV, .OGG, .FLAC, and our own proprietary .FXP sound files.

Switching to a ki-yi or pup distress just got easier with FOXBANG! With FOXBANG activated the caller automatically switches to your preset #1 after discharging your firearm. This allows for hands free sound changing operation to help keep your eyes focused on the field where it counts.

The FIRESTORM comes standard with the TX9 remote control. The TX9 remote features a graphic backlit LCD panel which shows your sound list, volume level indicator, battery level indicator and an elapsed timer to let you know how long you've been on stand

They work for wolves as well.Shot this one at 30 yards after it ran past me a 22 yards.The foxpro was about 30 yards infront of it before it stopped giving me a chance to figure out what just ran past me.I was a little surprised.
