Hey guys, I have just wrapped up another hunting season and felt I should let you guys know how good my Wildlife Technologies caller works. I have had electronic callers from Burnham Bros, Johnny Stewart(my former favorite), FoxPro, Cass Creek, and Lohman. I boldly state that this caller from Wildlife Tech is the BEST caller I have ever used. The sound is unbelievable and the variety of sounds the owner set me up with are very complete and are doing everything I need it to from predators to spring snow goose hunting. Here are the good points:
1. Speaker quality..A+
2. Sound choices..A+
3. Directions for use..A+
4. Volume...A+
5. Sound length without repeating..A+
6. Battery life...A+
Here are things that are not so hot:
1. Cost..the most expensive on the market
2. Weight...the heaviest on the market minus the old Johnny Stewart with battery/cassette pack with big steel speaker and 25 ft of cord(My previous favorite) I think it was new in about 1975. I carry it in a backpack and I am in pretty good shape so the weight is not a big deal to me. My clients appreciate it's effectiveness so I overlook the weight issue.
3. Charger durability..you have to be very careful with the charger because it is made of too light of wires and the tangle easy. I have ordered the replacement charger after only about 3 seasons. The worst part of the caller!
4. Remote effective distance...Like ALL of the callers I have used, the effective range is only a fraction of what the advertised distance is. It is as good as the others but no better.
Although I do not give all of the credit to the caller, it does help me maintain a success rate of about one response per 2-3 stands! Part of the reason for my success is I am a pretty salty predator caller and have a pretty good population of predators to work with.
I haven't been greased by the Wildlife Tech company to write this, I simply think highly of their product. I have to admit that their caller is fully as effective(maybe more so) than my line of predator calls that I sell. I still use my mouth blown calls very effectively but the convenience of an electronic call have merit to me. If you have some disposable income, you cannot go wrong with the caller from Wildlife Technologies.
