Default RE: Fox Pro Review

Born and raised in Woodson, Texas. But nowI live, work and go to school in Lubbock.

From what I can tell so far, the real value of the unit is for areas that are brushy and there are a lot of obstructions around where you are planning on calling. In calling in this coyote, I was in an area where I saw lots of sign but had always had tough luck. With any wind at all, they could smell me long before I saw them. With a remote unit, I can move crosswind and hide in brush and other obstructions without having to worry about visibility, because the animal is homing in on theFoxPro and not me. And with a mouth call, downwind where my sound travels the best is also where my scent travels, limiting where I could call by which direction the wind was blowing. The FoxPromakes wind direction a lot less of an issue.

As for country that is more open with decent visibility, I don't know that there is much advantage over mouth calls, because I can see the coyote and shoot before he gets much of an opportunity to investigate. However, I can probably get away with more movement since the coyotes aren't looking directly at me.

Good luck and good hunting.....at the Bass Pro.
