Lets talk predator calls--

Which one should I be looking at for coyotes and foxes.

Assuming you’re asking about E-callers… I’d suggest Foxpro. A lot of people like lucky duck as well I don’t personally have any experience with LD. As for model we would need to know your budget to help there.

I really like my Foxpro x24. Very clear sound and the remote has a long range.

If you plan to add sounds it’s a total PITA though. Their program is outdated and finnicky.

Budget is sub 550

X24 is a great call. 10% off @ Optics planet right now with code “TRICK” will get you sub $500 before tax

I've been around the Foxpro X24 and Lucky Duck Super Revolt a lot. The Lucky Duck Roughneck a little and the Icotech Outlaw a little. The FP and both LD's are pretty solid. I was not a fan of the Icotech. It sounded like garbage. Probably that specific call but it's the only one I've personally been around.

With your budget I would look at the X24 or the Roughneck. It's hard to say one is better than another. There are a few guys that kill a lot of coyotes by me and some use the LD and some use the FP.

If lots of guys in your area use the FP get the LD or vice versa.

The clarity of the X24's Tweeter? Especially If you've got a high-quality, high-bitrate-encoded recording made with modern recording equipment? Is uncanny how real and true to life it is!

The responsiveness of the Remotes cmds.
The nice crisp clarity of the Remotes screen.
It's effective range, (though I seldom setup very far away personally)
Big ol honkin' Lithium battery that lasts forever.

Stupid little things like the fact that it just automatically starts a timer for you once you begin playing your set. Quickly you find yourself really making use of that.

Quickly found myself LOVING this thing and appreciated how much easier everything was to do! Vs the beginner eCallers of other brands I'd tried. ICOTec GC300 and Johnny Stewart GrimSpeaker2.

That GS2? It has some potential, if they could just get their remote to be something you'd call "responsive". That company could... really clean up with that product, saying that because of what it'd be capable of doing, if they got the remote straightened out. And used better Tx/Rx components I'd imagine. But I'm sure that'd jack back up the units cost I'd imagine. Theirs was more sensitive to playback of encodings of files of less-common bitrates and such. Sometimes if it didn't like the encoding, there might be some weird "artifacts" in the playback output. But usually that was with older WAV recordings I'd then converted up to *.mp3's, but not of very high bitrate, since the original source recording were some Johnny Stewart Ol Skool vinyl 45's I'd got handed-down.

But yeah man... eCallers? It works a lot like with buying binos. Suck it up, and go ahead and cough up that more loot that you're uncomfortable with parting with. They Joy you'll experience at how much easier/simpler/better/more-reliable it is to use, will quickly get you over the sting of the initial purchase price. Then you'll wonder why you waited soo long.
