Best Coyote Calls

We tested the FOXPRO Hellcat in various hunting situations and were impressed by its performance. The compact size and carry handle made it easy to transport in the field. At just 2.5 pounds with batteries, it didn’t weigh us down during long treks.

The remote control was a standout feature. Its large, backlit LCD screen and glow-in-the-dark buttons made nighttime use a breeze. We liked how the sounds were organized into categories, making it quick to switch between different calls.

The built-in decoy with the Bluebird Topper added an extra element to our setup. Its random spinning motion caught the eye of nearby predators. We found the ability to control both the internal decoy and an optional external one (sold separately) from the remote very handy.

Sound quality was excellent for a unit in this price range. The 75 premium FOXPRO sounds covered all our needs for calling coyotes, foxes, and other predators. The option to add more sounds via USB-C is a nice touch for those who want to expand their library.

We appreciated the rugged ABS housing, which held up well to bumps and scrapes in the field. The tripod adapter was useful for elevating the call, though we had to buy a stand separately.

Overall, we found the FOXPRO Hellcat to be a solid choice for hunters looking for an affordable, feature-packed game call with a built-in decoy. Its ease of use and versatility make it a great option for both beginners and experienced hunters alike.

The FOXPRO X-Decoy impressed us with its ability to turn our X-Series game call into a complete predator-calling setup. We found it easy to attach to the top of our call using the supplied cable or wireless IR connection. The decoy’s “Jacked Up Chaotic Motion” caught our eye and seemed very lifelike.

We liked the flexibility of using the X-Decoy as a standalone unit too. The included stake let us place it away from our main call, giving us more options in the field. The Fuzzy Wuzzy topper added a nice touch of realism that we think coyotes will find hard to resist.

The three-position switch gave us good control over the decoy’s movement. We could choose between off, high speed, and slow speed depending on the situation. The motor was surprisingly quiet, which is crucial when trying to lure in wary predators. While it worked great, we did wish the connection wire was a bit longer for more placement options when used separately from the call.

We’ve been using the Primos Raspy Coaxer in the field, and it’s proven to be a handy tool for coyote hunting. This compact call fits easily in a pocket or pack, making it perfect for quick set-ups or as a backup to electronic calls.

The dual-purpose design is a standout feature. We found it simple to switch between rabbit screams and rodent squeaks by covering different parts of the call. This lets us adapt our calling strategy on the fly, which is key when trying to lure in wary coyotes.

While it took some practice to get the sounds just right, we were able to call in coyotes within our first few hunting trips. The call produces realistic sounds that carry well, though it may not have the volume or range of some electronic options. For close-range work or as part of a varied calling setup, we think it’s a great pick for both new and seasoned hunters.

We tested the ICOtec 300+ in the field, and it lived up to its promises. The 300-yard remote range is a game-changer, letting us stay hidden while still controlling the call. We liked how easy it was to use, even in the dark, thanks to the backlit buttons.

The sound quality is pretty good for the price. We played different calls, and they sounded realistic enough to fool some wary coyotes. Being able to play two sounds at once adds to the realism. The Bluetooth feature is handy for adding more calls from our phones.

Battery life is solid. We used it for several hunting trips without needing to change batteries. The decoy port is a nice touch, though we didn’t try it out. For the price, we think this call offers a lot of value. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done well.

We tried out the Primos Bear Buster Coyote Call on a recent hunting trip and were impressed with its performance. This small but mighty call fits easily in a pocket or hunting pack. We found it simple to use, even for those new to predator calling.

The Bear Buster makes a range of sounds to mimic prey animals. We had success reproducing distress calls that got the attention of nearby coyotes. The volume is adjustable, so we could make soft sounds or really crank it up when needed.

One thing to note is that this call can be tricky to use in very cold weather. We noticed the sound quality changed a bit when temperatures dropped below freezing. It also takes some practice to nail the right technique. But for the price, we think it’s a good starter call for hunters wanting to try their hand at predator hunting.

The FOXPRO Shockwave left us impressed with its array of cutting-edge features. We found the FOXMOTION technology really adds realism by fading sounds between speakers. This tricks animals into thinking the prey is moving, which can be a game-changer in the field.

We liked having 100 pre-loaded sounds to work with right out of the box. The ability to add up to 1000 custom sounds gives tons of flexibility too. The full-color screen on the remote made it easy to pick sounds and adjust settings, even in low light.

The build quality felt solid in our hands. It’s nice knowing it’s made in the USA and backed by a 5-year warranty. Battery life was good – we got about 8 hours of use from 10 AA batteries. While pricey, we think the Shockwave is worth it for hunters who want a feature-packed, high-performance electronic caller.

The FOXPRO Loaded Gun Combo gives hunters a powerful set of tools for coyote calling. We found the pack’s three diaphragm calls – Top Gun, Smokin’ Gun, and Young Gun – cover a wide range of coyote vocalizations. From howls and barks to distress calls and challenges, these calls let us mimic different coyote ages and situations.

We were impressed by how easy it was to start using these calls. Even as beginners, we managed to produce realistic sounds within minutes. The volume these calls can reach is impressive too. We could easily call out to distant coyotes, which is crucial for successful hunts.

While the calls are user-friendly, we did need some time to perfect our technique. It took us about 20 minutes to get the hang of proper placement and breath control. We wish the pack came with a guide or tutorial CD to help speed up the learning process. Despite this small setback, we found these calls to be a solid choice for both new and experienced hunters looking to up their coyote game.

When we tried out the Lucky Duck Revolt, we were blown away by its performance. The sound quality is crystal clear, and the 100+ pre-loaded calls cover everything from coyotes to crows. We found the motorized decoy really helped keep predators focused away from our position.

The remote control is a game-changer. We could adjust sounds and control the decoy from up to 300 feet away. This let us set up in better spots without worrying about line-of-sight. The ability to play different sounds on separate channels is great for creating realistic scenarios.

While the price tag might seem steep, we think it’s justified by the Revolt’s features and build quality. The whole unit feels sturdy, and being able to store the decoy and remote inside the caller is super handy. Just be prepared to spend some time learning all the functions – it’s not quite as simple as pressing play and waiting.

The Lucky Duck Riot packs a punch in a compact package. We were impressed by its 50 pre-loaded sounds, which include a good mix of distress calls and coyote vocalizations. The audio quality is clear, even at high volumes, which helps grab predators’ attention from afar.

One standout feature is the built-in motorized decoy. It adds movement to your setup, helping to keep coyotes focused on the caller instead of searching for the hunter. We found the decoy easy to use and effective at holding animals’ interest.

The remote control works well up to 300 feet away, giving us plenty of flexibility in where we set up. It’s nice not needing line-of-sight to operate the caller. While we like that the remote and decoy store inside the main unit, the whole system does require a lot of batteries – 13 AAs in total. Make sure to pack spares for long hunting trips.

We tested the Primos Mouse Squeeze Call on our latest hunting trip and were amazed by its simplicity and effectiveness. The small green device fits comfortably in one hand, making it easy to use while staying hidden.

When we squeezed it, the call produced a surprisingly realistic mouse sound that carried well through the woods. We noticed nearby birds and small animals reacting to the noise, which is a good sign for attracting predators.

The call’s durability impressed us. We accidentally dropped it a few times on rocky ground, but it kept working perfectly. Its freeze-proof design is a big plus for cold weather hunts.

One downside we found was that the call can sometimes be too loud for close-range use. We had to be careful not to overdo it when predators were nearby.

The small size is handy for carrying, but we almost lost it a couple times. We suggest attaching a lanyard or keeping it in a secure pocket.
