fox pro's in saginaw michigan

[dlouchart]

Has anyone had any luck with a fox pro was wondering if anyone owns one and if it is worth me spending the $500.00 dollars. And in general any luck with hunting coyette in saginaw county. tried a bourham brothers cassett caller i have owned for 20 years no luck with that plus lots of mouth calls and no luck. wondering if othe cleaer sounds make a diffrent.

Yes, they are sweet, and do have features that some other models don't.(NO)= But don't be mislead into thinking that a high dollar item will make coyotes come to your calling, just because the call costs a lot!
There are some guys who have sworn that they are seeing more dogs and getting more shots than they did before they bought one. And in fact they have! What I observed was, they "got a new toy" and are using it at every chance they get. So they are spending more time hunting, and in more places, feeling confident something is coming in or on its way into the call. Both of which translated into better odds of seeing 'yotes.

If its on your Santa' list or its not out of your price range, then I say go for it! I do believe that if you 'FEEL' confident that your calling is good, and you 'EXPECT' to see targets when you go out, more often than not you will.

I use my foxpro when calling alone at night. Yes I've had luck in saginaw co for yotes and fox. If your set up is right, and sounds are right you will get coyotes in.

If you not seeing any with a caller or mouth calls, most likely your getting busted without knowing it or spooking them some other way. Play the wind, watch your sounds (volume).

If you can tell us how you set up up and so on and we'll see if we can give you some help.

I will piggy back on what TT said, these callers aren't the solution to killing coyotes, or any predator, but the one big advantage you have when using them is the ability to be 100 + yards away from the device. They are small and easy to carry, and if I had the extra $$ to shell out on something to kill a varmint, I'd probably buy one. I will note that I've hunted with one two or three times and never even saw a predator, so its not a cure all.

When I was in the UP bear hunting my guide had a fox pro. He would rather predator hunt then anything else. The guy is always in the top few during the contest they run.

I hunted with him a few times using these for predators. We saw something just about every set. This guy knew what call to use, when to use it and at what volume. From what I see it all comes down to the caller. If you are good and know what you are doing it works anywhere. After all he has used it all over the country. He would pick me up in the evenings and there would be a coyote in the back of the truck. He even called his bear in this year. He has been working on that and figures he has the perfected now. He also has a bracket to keep the call about 18" off the ground.

I have been really thinking about buying one. The price tag is the only thing holding me back.

I bought a 'wired' model just as the remotes were coming out. If yoiu cant afford the god one-wait till you can. Best go with someone who has one-once/twice.
