i got 1 very similiar to that. mines the wireless preymaster. it has its ups & downs. the buttons on the remote always seems tricky to push. & uses only exspensive lithium batteries(always carry extra). others cheap ones wont turn it on. but dont get me wrong i do love it. theres no way i could have as much fun as i do without the electronic caller. i can call in predators with a hand caller but they see me when i go to shoot. & i cannot for the life of me call in crows as good as the "come here call" for crows. also for coyotes the "rat distress" is great in a field & after u shoot u can bring the others back with the "coyote pup distress". oh yeah the "hawk & crow" 1 is really good at bringing in red tail hawks. cant shoot them but they look real cool plus u called them in. good luck & happy birthday
I have a cousin that bought one and now he waits for me to bring my foxpro. I remember hunting with that unit and the biggest problem was the wire. Somebody was always tripping on it. If it is in the budget to add to your gift I would get a wireless remote unit. If not, get it. Unless you are a good hand caller that unit will bring up your bird count.
okay thanks guys, i dont think i will run the unit out on the wire, but rather, keep the wire rapped up and keep the whole unit in a bag or case and just leave it next to me while calling.
oh okay, thanks mike, sorry for seeming "green" at this, we hunted casually for a few years but really want to get into it now and am just trying to take in as much as possible.
I have the same call, wired not wireless. I run mine on regular aa batteries & I'm always pleased at how long they last. I just bought the crow 2 & 3 cards, just to have some different sounds. I'm really very pleased with the call, especially for the price. Jerry
