FOXPRO vs Luckyduck

[Alchemy]

Been out of the game for the last 5 years, wanting to get another electronic call. The last call I had was a foxpro with the tx1000 remote which I enjoyed.
However I have heard really good things about the lucky duck super revolt.
Any suggestions?

I have both. I can’t say one is better than the other. There are a few killers here. One uses FP, a couple use LD.

It’s the hunter more than it is the call.

And if one brand is popular in the area you hunt I would buy the other brand.

They have pretty much the same calls on them. I’ve got a Foxpro shockwave and my dad recently got a super revolt. I’d believe they were the same if I didn’t know better.

If you're wanting a FoxPro X24 or shockwave I'd recommend ordering from here. On sale now and with all predator you can choose which sounds come programmed on your call so you don't end up with a bunch of worthless sounds.

There’s a lot to be said for the above statement.

I agree though, it’s more about the hunter than the call.

I won't pretend to be a master caller. And I have ruffled feathers on the internet saying this but...

IMHO it doesn't matter. Both are good. Both may offer a slightly better set of features or widgets at a given price point but at the end of the day I don't believe it truly matters.
Buy the highest tier of either brand you can justify. Buy it from someone that will custom program the calls you want/need. That way you don't end up with useless sounds.

I do agree with above. Buy the brand that is least popular in your area.

I think they both are good. Both will work just the same. One is an American made company with everything made in the US. The other has most if not all parts sourced from China.

Ive got a foxpro, Ive had it for 5-6 years now calling year round and knock on wood zero issues. I have a few buddies with the revolt and they are impressive as well but ive never been around them a whole lot. Flip a coin.

One of my buddies has a lucky duck roughneck and I bet he calls at least 5 days a week with it year round. It’s even fallen off his truck roof a couple times when he drive away with it up there. Still works well. I’ve left my Foxpro on the roof a few times as well. I think they both make a solid product.

I had a foxpro fusion for a while then ended up buying a LD. For me the foxpro remote in the cold gave me fits, would start lagging really bad and wouldn’t hold battery life. So because of that I went bought a revolt and haven’t had an issue. The extras like the built in decoy and the call turning with the remote are nice touches too.

I’ve been using the revolt since it came out and I’ve had no desire to go back to foxpro. I think the ability for the call to turn is a very overlooked feature.

I used to have a foxpro fury. I downloaded a bunch of sounds from Randy Anderson for it. Call was ok. Remote range was terrible though.
For the last 4 years I have been using a LD Roughneck. Remote range is awesome. Sound volume isn’t even in the same ball park. But then again I had a fury and I know Foxpro makes a lot louder calls now days.
The kicker to me is the sound quality. LD has a lot better sound quality as far as the sounds I use Foxpro just lacked in good quality Coyote vocals.
Foxpro also has a bunch of useless sounds.
For my style of calling in the Dakotas, NE and KS it’s run and gun make lots of stands in open country. I want the sound to get out there. If a coyote shows up in the first 3 minutes I don’t think it would matter what sound you played. Once you get into 6 to 10 minute mark the sounds matter.

Thanks! I think I will stick with the FOXPRO, more or less I’m already familiar with the tx-1000 and just general operation. What sound files should I get? I saw the MFK stuff, any others? Coyote/Bobcats in southern Great Plains/High plains

 

[dirtytough]

FP, MFK, Tony Tebbe, Boss, BFA, Predator Tactics, all have sounds that will call in coyotes.
