bought one back in December. used it for a half a day and called 6 coyotes on 6 different stands. walking back from the 6th stand the remote somehow fell out of my pocket. did not realize it until i walked out to the 7th stand and did not have it. went back to the last place i called and looked quite awhile for it. never did find it.
so i have pretty much a brand new caller and no remote for it. good thing i have plenty of other ones to choose from.
to answer your question, the caller and remote worked good and darn sure called critters. can not ask for much more.
