It seems as though everyone made fun of the remote for the WT, they where saying that it is to big and bulky. But now faux pro comes out with a crazy big remote and will try to pass it off as awesome.
I find it odd that faux pro once again has done something that they trashed before but bring to market with their name on it.
First it was the metal speaker from WT and MINASKA, now they have it. Then it was a big remote, now they have it.
Wow my sig line really fits now!
Their remote is alot bigger for sure, but the price for it was even bigger! :shck: I seen that price & my butt hole puckered! :iroll:
A nickle less than $600.00! :shck: :shck: :shck:
man they are gunna price themselves right out of existence along with the other caller makers. I have a FX3 and im semi happy with it but for the money i paid i would have expected alot more....for instance it took me about a year and numerous interactions to finally figure out the battery charged question?...answer?....spend more money and buy another battery charger that actually tells you when your batteries are charged fully!....for $479.00 bucks I should be able to just plug it in and know when its charged. I have several sounds that end abruptly and have static....one sound I deleted and Mike Dillon sent me 2 free sounds...fair enough....I just discovered another sound, same problem...again for almost 500 bucks, i want good sounds!!...my unit has performed with no problems with either caller or remote...deadly on crows, LOUD....never ran the batteries down yet...but if it ever dies or whatever ill have to think real hard about the brand and e-callers in general..due to pricing....ONLY 200 more to upgrade to the fx5....and on...and on.....and on...$$$$$$$$$....i was using my johnny stewart attractor today, 35.00 and i honestly think it sounds better then the fx3 as far as sounds...of course lacks the range and power and such.....b204 you know u want the fury....buy one haha :yoyo:
ya, I wanna give my $$$ to the Dillons. I don't think so!!!!
$600!!!!!!!!!piss on that..........I can do without
Hey browning 204,when is wt coming out with that new e-call?
I don't know? I have read rumors on other sites but I really don't know. I am not In "the loop"
But it should be a nice one!
I've got an FX5 and I've also got some thoughts on the new FP Fury. The FX5 owners just took it in the shorts with the intro of the Fury. The FX5 cost more to start with and will now need to be "upgraded" to be equivalent to the Fury. But at what cost to the owner? $200? $300 or? Forget the resale value of the FX5, if you can sell it at all. Due to its initial cost, it'd have to be priced well below existing callers to be attractive to potential buyers. The FX5 owner will lose his proverbial backside on any sale. As far as the wt goes. No way. No how. Not under ANY circumstance. MI VHNTR
If the FX5 is working for folks (calling in the fur) why would one feel compelled to "upgrade" or sell? You guys would be nickel & dimming yourself to death on such transactions every time FoxPro came out with an "improvement".... :shrug:
soreloser said that the fury was not an upgrade option for FX3/FX5 owners.

As far as faux pro coming out with new stuff everyother month. I don't know why people NEED to run out and get their existing units upgraded. I mean I can see if it is a MAJOR change such as what WT might do but that is it.
I have the original Bandit, there is an upgrade or Mother boards ( I think) but so what. My bandit works just fine.
I think FP has alot of its customers by the short hairs, they keep coming out with "upgrades" and telling customers that the NEED these changes.
mean while the guys who bought the fx5 are now screwed!!!

Sore loser is an idiot. Who would listen to what he says?
No body in his area will hunt with him and almost won't talk to him.
soreloser is the biggest shit stirrer over there. :rolleye: I quit reading his posts shortly after I joined that place.
On topic-- I have the FX3. There are NO upgrades in my future. I do not want 100/200 sounds. I spend enough time looking at the menu of 32 sounds. The only upgrade that interests me would be the presets. I'm not shelling out 2 bills for that. The way I figure it this caller should last me more years than I'll be hunting. If not then I'll look for a used something or other later on.
BTW-- soreloser is a,,,,,,, aahhh never mind!! :rolleye:

Don't worry guys I am not in his fan club. Just relaying the info he posted on the fury at that other board.
He seems to be the "poster child" for foxpro.
It's all good yucca. We all know his fan club consists of himself. :wink:
:yoyo:
I say bye any call you like, BUT A FOXPRO :rolleye: :rolleye: :rolleye:
Read my signature line at the bottom to understand my feeling,,,,
reading the discriptions of the fury there seems to be a good bit different between the FX5 and the fury. they pretty much just upgraded to what they were hearing from feedback. is there something wrong with that? they made the remote so you can read the writing. if they keep getting complaints from the older genrations that they can't read it then they need to do something to make em happy. that is just bussiness.
"By utilizing FHSS technology, remote range and reliability at longer distances will greatly increase."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above quote can be found on the foxpro link that Browning posted. This sounds like exciting news to me. All new electronic technology is built into this new caller. A good reliable remote control, with no more worries of the remote failing if your call is sitting in a bush out there 100 yards or more away. I can't hardly wait to get my hands on one of the new Fury's. :wink:
WHen I received my bonus form work last year I went out and bought a FX5. After using it for a season I am not so sure that it was money well spent. I mean it does everything I want it to and has some features that do me well but I think I could have gotten a comparable unit for a lot less. I have hunted with a WT and it was fine. LOUD and CLEAR but was it worth the money? Personaly I wouldnt have spent that kind of mmoney but I will say it is a hell of a caller.
Will I send my FX5 in for any kind of upgrade? That would be a big resounding NO!! Would I try to stear someone to a foxpro or a WT? Probably not. Not because of any feature or anything like that but due to the fact that there are units out there that are highly comparable for less money.
I own a light force and have had some probelms with it and for the money I spent on it you would think it would be problem free. Would I suggest a light force? Yes but only because the repairs/modifications I did were simple and the light preforms up to and beyond my expectations.
Best thing I can say about spending money on a call/light/rifle/gizmo/hunting aid/hooker/ammo or anything else for that matter is BUYER BEWARE. I can remember when home computers hit the market. I knew people that jsut hat to have the bigger, better, faster, newset kung fu grip and all the bells and whistles. were they happey in the end? Not really just a lot broker and had a lot of junk sitting around they cant sell and dont use anymore.
if ya want to spend that kind of money feel free to do so. Just remember that foxpro is gona come out with a newer, faster, lounder, higher bit rate, inviso powered, self returning call and try to sucker in anyone they can to spend the money on there newest creation and someone is going to do just that.
LIKE I SAID ,,, GET ANYTHING BUT A FOXPRO
I agree with Rich. I want to field test the new Fury and check it out. It is all about competition, and I'll bet on Foxpro's knowledge of technology. The improvements they have made on their remotes have been impressive to date, and I'll bet the new remote is a real winner.
There is no technology that I am aware of that moves faster than that of electronics. Any business that does not take advantage of new technology will not be in business very long. If you buy a new computer today, it will be obsolete tomorrow. Same with cell phones. The FoxPro folks evidently found a new technology for remote controlled callers that does not require line of sight like all other remote controlled callers require. The only thing I know about this new technology is what I found when I googled same. Now if this new FoxPro "Fury" functions like I believe it will, there will be no need to hang your new Fury on a tree limb in order to be sure the remote will function properly. The average hunter will probably not actually need an E caller with such a superior remote control. I know a few places where i could take advantage of it though. Shucks, you could probably set the new fury in a valley, walk over the hill and operate the bugger from next valley over. I won't know for sure until I get one, so I reckon I will call Steve Dillon tomorrow. I don't have very many coyotes left around here, I'm so old and worn out that I likely won't be able to hunt much longer, and by gosh I want the chance to test the best electronic caller there is. Sounds like FoxPro has out did themselves this time. Blew the competition clean out of the water by golly. :wink:
There will always be a bigger, better, faster, new and improved comming down the line. It is up to the individual if they can live without the newest features. :shrug:

WOW what will the $ bonus be for that line?? :laf:
I understand what they are trying to do, but I am just saying that they made fun of bigger remotes in the past and then boom, they come out with a big honkin remote.
I guess it will be different since Foxpro will be written on it.
"I understand what they are trying to do, but I am just saying that they made fun of bigger remotes in the past and then boom, they come out with a big honkin remote."
------------------------------------------------------------
Browning,
Was it actually one of the Dillons who made fun of the big remote controls, or was it simply another FoxPro owner? I understand where you are coming from though. I am not a fan of big remote controls either. If this one is as good as I think it is, I can live with a large remote control. For me it is the more reliable remote control that does not require the user to be in the "line of sight" that is exciting.
Since I've only had my FX3 for about 2 1/2 years I may not be qualified to speak BUT,,, that never stops me!! :roflmao: :roflmao:
Seriously tho,, I have not had one incident where the remote would not operate the caller. Not one. I have hunted strip mined land with the caller doen below me by a good 25' with no failures. My remote runs the unit with it hanging upside down from a lanyard. I have no gun barrel interference. Just for the heck of it I put it down aover one side of the ridge at 25 yds then went back on top & down the other side another 10yds & it worked flawlessly. Either I got a good unit/remote or a lot of folks don't understand the concept of the remote going to sleep while not in use & expect instant gratification when a button is pressed. Personally I have not seen any issues with my FX3 that a lot of other folks posted about. I know I would build a new caller if enough folks showed interest in it too. :wink:
As far as the latest & greatest goes,, some folks NEED it. Others don't. Some folks think 200 sounds will guarantee coyotes running to the call blindly. Any FP staffer is Welcome here where I hunt. As well as the Borlands,, which I think it would be cool to coon hunt in the daytime with them. :yoyo: As far as imitations go,,, a lot of folks are guilty of it. Some folks just act like it was their idea 1st is all.
I'm not on FP's payroll either. :nono: I just like my FX3. :shrug:

Hey Nasty, how is that "dumb" charger that you got with the foxpro?
My WT came with a SMART charger, the light turns to green when it is fully charged and it wasn't extra $$.
OH, and I also called about a car charger, they sent me one FREE!!!! Now THATS customer service!!! :yoyo:

I've had less than stellar dealings with the buffoon that runs wt. Hell, I've been banned from ever purchasing one of the wonder callers by the owner himself. SOME of his antics have been: name calling, threats and unsolicited harassing emails.
I'll say this on the subject of the FX5/Fury and let it go. I'm not into buying the "latest and greatest", but here's my point. The price paid in relation to the potential resale price really hammers the FX5, especially considering the projected cost of the Fury. The FX3 fares much better in this respect.

Sorry to hear that about your bad experience. But at least you know that it is a wonderful caller! :biggrin:
We will see how the "fury" works out for them. As ya'll know, I won't be placing an order!!
"dumb" charger?.....I didnt get ANY charger!............i couldnt tell for sure if my batteries were ever fully charged using the plug into the fx3 cord so i finally shelled out extra greeny and got a charger that actually tells me when the batteries are fully charged now......thats ridiculous telling someone to charge it as long as you used it, if you used it for 2 hours charge it for 2 hours. Like i said for 479.00 dollars i expect more. One guy told me to charge with the battery cover off....the next guy, charge with it on.....does the light go off?..or on?....go to the foxpro forums they are LOADED with charger/battery questions....i compare it to buying a $1000.00 shotgun and then finding out you have to go out and spend more money to buy screw in chokes for it :madd:
BUT come on b204 can the wt possibly look any goofier?

Guys,
I am very happy with my FoxPro Scorpion! It has worked well for me. I do like the idea of a larger screen on the remote. My old eyes sure have trouble reading the Scorpion remote when the light starts to get low!
Jim
alscalls,
I hear that you won the coyote vocalizations division of the contest down in Kansas City. My congratulations sir. Who won the distress screams division? Hey, did you hear that Browning 204 has a FoxPro? I'm betting that he uses it kind of like a bass fisherman uses his favorite lure. He will deny it of course. A man never reveals his secret weapon. :laf:
Brilliant non-linear critical thinking Rich :yoyo:....that Browning, hes a sly one.....turn everyone else off on Foxpro so he has an open playing field....he is sly...like a Fox.....Pro? :biggrin:
nastygunz,
Exactly sir! I heard thru the grape vine that he really really, I mean REALLY wants to get on the Foxpro team, but then he would have to reveal his secret weapon. :roflmao:
If I won something..........someone better give me a prize........hell I cant even afford to go downtown let alone another state......... :roflmao: :laf: :roflmao:
I am happy with my fx5 but i wish fox pro had more LIVE coyote vocals
golfertrout,
I think FoxPro got a couple hot new coyote vocals recently. Recordings of real live coyote. I don't have em yet, but when Steve Dillon gets back from Kansas City, I'm gonna call him. He is due back in town tomorrow, but I don't expect him back to work til the next day.
alscalls,
All of these screen names do make things confusing for old man Cronk. I thought you were "canine", who also goes by JD and other times by his REAL name. Sorry about that sir. :doh2:

I agree Bootmud, I don't think you guy's quite understand what the "fury" is capable of doing in the field.

Todays world, you have to stay on top of the game in order to stay in business. A company can't just sit on a product, such as the fx5 and expect to live off the sales forever. Especially in electronics, look at your computer, as soon as you leave the store it's outdated. I don't see alot of bitchin about that goin on.
Call me what ya want, leg humper whatever, it won't hurt my feelings, but I know this new Fury is gonna put more coyotes on the ground for me. Not that I can't call either :wink: I know what it's capable of doing to a coyotes little brain. :biggrin:

I hear what your saying though, but the call dont make the caller,
congrats again pal :congrats: :congrats:
It as if they are trying to say a poor yote hunter aint worth their time. I do not care what call I use if it works, I just think the prices are freakin nuts. On all of the big ones.....It disgusts me to see prices like that on my computer on my rifle on my caller or any thing but the difference is eventually you can find a good deal on all the above accept a quality E-caller. Canine you do a great job calling, congrats on your win, I hope I can call against ya some time or with ya hunting but a guy in my shoes will never afford the luxury of some of these callers and in the hunting world that is a shame. I agree it is probably tough to survive off of the profits of just an E-caller and diversity is key but even Burger king changes the menu once in a while. I would love to try em all but I would be divorced...........dang that gives me an idea!!! I will buy em all.......... :roflmao: :laf: :roflmao:
"I'm not familar with Wildlife Tech. Is the the call that is comparable to the top of the line Foxpro?"
----------------------------------------
Bootmud,
The FX5 and the Scorpion were about equal to WT. The new "Fury" will be a much better caller than ANY other Electronic caller on the market. I haven't even touched a new "Fury", but I am confident that my statement will ring true. For me, the new remote control feature is all it took to push foxPro over the top. The sound quality is already very good on both FoxPro and Minaska callers that have been available for quite some time. Remote control range and reliability was about equal also, until the new "Fury" was announced.
I am with yea AL,,,,
Maybe at lbl someone will bring the new call,, and we can see if it can out do all the old calls,, i like to see it out do my hand calls when it come to putting coyote to sleep...
I think if your a serious predator hunter electronics are a must have tool ,,because, many different critters call for different tool at different times ,, but a electronic call will never take the place of a skilled hunter!
Rich,
Thanks. I agree, the remote will be a huge factor for alot of folks interested in a top of the line caller. Just the larger display alone will win many new customers over. IMHO
I currently have an FX5 and am more than satisfied with it. Heck I'd probably still have my FX3 if I hadn't let it sit on my bumper late one night last year. :doh2: :laf:
bootmud
"I think if your a serious predator hunter electronics are a must have tool ,,because, many different critters call for different tool at different times ,, but a electronic call will never take the place of a skilled hunter!"

You are exactly right George.
bootmud,
Right on sir. If your FX5 is getting the job done, and you have no need for a remote control that cuts thru brush etc, and works at longer ranges, then you surely won't need a different caller. I have an FX5, and the sound quality is excellent. Your FX5 will call critters just fine. :wink:

Why? :rolleye:
I thought your question was funny, obviously not a serious question. But funny indeed.
So it's not possible for someone to NOT know about the WT callers?? I can assure you they are only the best in certain peoples minds. Others may view them differently. Kinda like the Honda/Nissan thing ya know.
QuoteKinda like the Honda/Nissan thing ya know.
I'm not familiar with the Nissan! Are you saying it is similar to the Honda?? :confused:
:laf: :laf:
In some ways yes. But on the other hand the comparison is a moot point in that I drive a Chevy & I'm a Ford guy. However,, there's this new fangled truck called the Toyota something or other. I hear it's the absolute best but thats just froma few people. So in reality I'll just drag my so-so FX3 around in a 1/2 assed ton Chevy. :biggrin:

I have never used or seen a WT caller used first hand. Why is that so hard to believe.
I'm not putting the call down, I simply am not familiar with the call. Why is that so hard to understand. Sheeeeesh..... :rolleye:
I do understand, as I thought you are messing around, I was to.
Never saw or heard a WT?? you will have to make a point to. I am sure you will like the sound quality.
:holdon:There seems to be some folks out there who think I am bashing FP and others :nono: not at all I just want one and can not afford it and want to know why they can not move to a larger market..........Like........Poor people. I will sleep OK with this question in my mind so folks can stop sending messages to me about my opinions :wink:
I will buy the first one I can afford and will do a quality job for me and I am in the market for one :eyebrow:
It is my hope that I have offended no one at all and if I have I am truly sorry. I only intended conversation to learn what others had been through with these callers.
Boy, I don't know Al?? I think I'm offended?? :wo: What time do you want me to pick you up Wed. evening? Should I bring the Scorpion? :shrug: :confused: :innocentwhistle: :innocentwhistle:
Jim
I will hunt over any of them Jim, But my opinions are the same :biggrin:
I tell ya what mike I went hunting with a guy that has a WT call. yeah the sounds are great but for some reason the dang thing never really worked well. changing sounds was a pain. most of the times that night the wrong call was selected and instead for a mouse squeek or rabbit we got a coyote howl or some other off the wall sound. say what ya want about foxpro or any other product but I have had three electronic calls in my life. the preymaster which I would still have if I did not hate the cord. and a fx3 and a fx5. I did not like the fx3 remote mainly because of operator error. I would change a sound and if it did not do it fast enough I tried changing it again. once I learned how to use it I was happy. the fx5 came out and I am happy with it. I did not like the blue lcd for night hunting because it screwed my vision when I went from looking to the remote to where the light was scanning. I called the foxpro guys up they changed the brightness of the lcd (this was before the red lcd came out) and I am happy now. they have allways had great customer service. which is more then I can say about bill. I called him and wanted to talk to him before I bought my foxpro and before I even hunted with one. I got the run around and was told basically that I did not know what I was doing. I might buy a minaska here if they M1 goes down in price or I can pick one up cheap but when I got a 700 dollar caller that works for what I want there aint no need to go buy another. the fury looks to be a impressive call. I do not see myself buying one though. I find myself now messing with the remote more then when I had the preymaster. maybe it is because we can. IDK with a remote with more features we might be messing with it more. there are a few things to cut down on even looking at the remote now with this new call. I am curious about this FHSS for the transmitter. from what I seen on wiki it is similar to what I use in my RC cars and if it is there should be no problems with reception with hardly any interferance. jmo takereasy ben smyser
So you have used a WT. At least you have and can actually base your opinions on actual experience. Not because a bud told you to say it or wanna be in a club.
Thanks and I wish you had a better experience with the caller than you did. I will admit, I screwed up a couple times because I was mashing buttons to fast. But I learned and it is better now.

:holdon:There seems to be some folks out there who think I am bashing FP and others :nono: n folks can stop sending messages to me about my opinions :wink:
If people are sending you messages about you opinions because you MIGHT be against fauxpro, then they need a life!
I am not against anyone......and I would not want them to think that I was. I simply know how things can be misunderstood.
I just think the price of everything is too high and to have to pay a small fourtune to hunt a coyote? Is nuts
As am I so I will probably get one someday.... which one? who knows but It does not matter long as it works.

I never used one. I hunted with a guy that had one. he had the one that still used the FRS radio. like I said there were some good sounds comin out of it but it malfunctioned more then I thought it should. foxpro has been coming out with better sounds in the last two years. slowly but surely they will have something that will fully maximize the foxpro. there are some sounds though I know that are hand calls that work better then some of the ones that are real live animals. the DSG cottontail is one of my favs and it is Mike dillon Byron south and Glenn guess on a hand call doing a rabbit distress. right now ya have a mp3 player on steriods that uses a remote. if ya put sounds into it that does not fully utilize the new technology that they have in these FX calls then it does not matter. the old sounds worked good in the 416 calls because the sounds were actually recorded onto the call. I am not sure if they had static in them at all from transfering them but I would imagine it would. now a days the sound file is just that a sound file. when ya add sounds you are just modifying the what is on the hard drive. now with the new sounds they are coming out with I believe foxpro is finally getting sounds that make the FX series actually sound the best they can. do ya understand what I am saying? I know when I get work done on mine I pretty much just stop in at foxpros facility on the way to a hunting trip. I hope to get the lcd changed over and a few sounds put on my call next time. everytime has been a good experience. I see they are adding more and more sounds everytime I look at their website and there is a list of atleast 30 I would like to get on my FX-5. I have a bunch on my FX-5 that were from various websites that are free but have never had luck with em. anyhow takereasy ben smyser

Thats what I meant.
alscalls,
No offense taken. Honest. Ecalls are very expensive, I certainly won't argue that fact. What rubs me the wrong way is the call bashing before the product even comes to market. I guess if folks haven't heard it or used it there's nothing left to bash except for the advertised price.
I have only ever owned two Ecalls in my life, an FX3 and an FX5. No doubt in my mind that I'd still have the FX3 if I wouldn't have lost it. :doh2: Yep that's right, lost it. I figured I was starting from scratch again so what was another 200 bucks. At the time I had it to spend so I got the FX5.
One thing I have never done is bashed any other Ecall or Mouth call. Obviously I can't say anything negative about other Ecalls cause I haven't used anything but Foxpro. I'm certainly not in to bashing mouth calls either since I have my own line of calls. I certainly don't want people trashing my calls especially if they haven't used one.
I know the Dillons fairly well and they are very nice people. Like Ben stated their customer service is great and they do alot for us local folks in Pa. and that means alot to me and alot of others.
I don't know all the history between the board and PM. From what I understand there is some controversy of some kind between the two boards. Honestly I could give a crap about all that. I don't come here to be apart of some political childs play between predator hunting message boards. Nor will I be involved with the "My caller is better than your caller" syndrome.
To everyone:
For crying out loud, buy the Ecaller you like and can afford and quit the childish bickering, it's gotta look pretty foolish from the outside looking in. You know as well as I do that any one of em will kill a coyote in the right situation. Heck, I can't afford a new truck so I buy a used one but you won't see me crying all over the internet about high truck prices......... Ok, I'm done.

Thats not bashing there calls ,,, but good try :yoyo: keep looking for the post out there on the internet where i say foxpro call arent any good
I don't like foxpro because of there relationship with Glenn Guess.
he is a representative to that company, who will make up story's to improve his status in the predator hunting world,,
And my out look is if FOXPRO can tolerate his untruths to the predator hunting masses then I can't say anything good about that company..
read my signature line it don't say anything bad about there callers just there way of doing business ,,
you can say what you like but, but the guy goes' out of his way to lie do discredit eastern hunters to make himself look like a master hunter...
like he told us all,,, he called in every predator in the east on a 2 week trip there ...bunch of foxes red and gray
hand full of coons bobcat and coyotes, with him saying that , what he is really trying to tell you is why do you guys say it so hard there??? i did it in 2 week , 2 weeks of part time calling why he chases one of are ugly PA girl;s that he followed from TX to PA... He wasn't even in the conversation I was having with Shawn.
but went out of his way to call me out WITH A LIE, let alone he was trying to bait me into a argument...
I know you guys say it can be done, even though you or anyone ells you know of hasn't been able to do it.
So yea, he bothers me...
you PM me on the other sight in like 2 min, after I post ,
And in my post i just was telling the guy my thought you can read it i am not bashing anything just stating what a bad spot the guys that just got the fx5 are in now.
and like I told yea if i brake the rules of the sight you moderate on then remove the post or get rid of me
don't PM me you team foxpro shit .... and if you remove anything i say you should be prepared to explain your self,,,
read my post everyone and tell me it look like I am braking the rules of the PA board ??
just another mod trying to make the sight his
you find a post with me saying bad thing about there calls yet??????????????????????
and as for this
George you've spelled it all out in the above post. You're true personallity and intelligence reflects in your posts and Mannerisms (No, I'm not talking about your spelling either).

I would watch getting personal buddyboy,
You don't know me at all, And where I live man don't say things like that to other man without having to face the consequences of there words...

I'm lost too. :shrug:
Quotethe current top of the line model

$600 Fury
$680(FX5)- $600(Fury) =$80 less for
Quotenew technology and features into a caller that hunters have asked for at a cheaper price
:confused: Give or take the nickel of course.
I was looking at it like this,
last week FX5 was $680.00
this week the Fury a better call is $599.00
Yea its cheaper but what about the guy that spent $680.00 last week?
some were out there is a guy at basspro walking to the counters as we speak with his $700.00 FX5 not knowing there is a better cheaper one comeing soon.
Yea its a cool deal, for the guy just looking for a new call , but what about all the guys that just got the FX5
that cant be upgraded ,
and now I will say this slow,,
If you cant up grade the fx5 and the new call is $80 dollars cheaper then the fx5 is obsolete :madd:
unless you are a rock head and bye the more expensive call over the better one :confused:

I think I'm starting to see your point. I've been paying close to $4.00 for gasoline for the last few months and now it's like $3.50. That's bullshit!!!! Hundreds of gallons of gasoline down the old tube.
Oh yea, and that new camera I just bought $400 bucks and now the new one comes out with more megapixels and it $100 bucks cheaper. How could Sony do that to me? That's bullshit!!!!
Well at least I know where I can still spend $1.00 and get the same thing I got 10 years ago for $1.00. :roflmao: :roflmao:
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: YEA FUNNY
BUT DID YOU HAPPEN TO FIND THE BASHING THE CALL POSTED YET?????

Thats a savings of .05 cents.
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
yea yea it was a typo ,, you pointing that out don't change anything pal.
you jump the gun in PMing me because your just like the others , your pro foxpro and will defend them even if your wrong....
You can stop looking for my call bashing post,, because there isn't any out there i don't bash people product.. and Mike knows that ,
I tell it like I see it, and people here will tell you that. and it has nothing to do what call anyone uses
I have killed a couple predators and have photos all over as you guys know ,, did you ever see me promoting anyones electronic calls in any of my photos??????????????????? and i have them>
have ever herd me say one call is better then the next....
did you ever see me holding a call up in the air in a hero photo?????????????
you see me makeing how to videos or makingcalls for sale ???
no you haven't... i ant that kinda guy pal, use what you like but don't tell me a am wrong cause i don't
I don't have a rep of a great coyote killer only the rep of telling it like i see it
unlike most
I am a simple guy, saying it the best way i can, and if i don't like something i say it
George W Ackley
some my think I have a ego, but I don't, and guys I have hunted with or taken hunting will tell you that to say i have a ego is as far from the truth as you can get..
it ant hard to find the guy i helped out on these sight or in the hunting comunity
so what ever you think of me your wrong dead wrong.
and I hope I am done with this conversation
$600.00(six hundred dollars) -(minus) $0.05(nickle) =(equals) $599.95(the price of a Fury(newest call from Foxpro) at All Predator Calls)
So if $599.95 ($600 - $0.05) is cheaper then how much is the FX5? Which wasn't know at the time of my post. :iroll:
I knew how much a FX5 cost over a year ago. :confused:

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I never said the Fury wasn't a better call for cheaper money. It probably is, I don't know 'cause I don't own one.
What I did say is that the value of a FX5 dropped off the map because of the introduction of the new Fury e-caller. Now, IF, you had just bought the FX5 I think you might be a little ticked off at spending MORE money for less call that is NOT upgradeable. I ain't bitchin, bawlin or complainin. Just stating facts.

DAYUM!!!
I hear ya Jeb. :eyebrownod:
I wonder out of all these folks doing the whining who actually kills coyotes? :confused: Just a thought.
When I first started out in coyote hunting I tried learning it by myself. It can be done, but it takes a long time. Didn't have much info then.
Then I was fortunate enough to hook up with a guy that has been killing coyotes here in Tennessee since 1973. Pretty much trumped all of my experience so I listened to everything that came out of his mouth and hunted with him constantly. I STILL DO!!
My partner and mentor is probably as good or better than anyone around when it comes to coyote hunting, so I reckon I'll keep on listening and learning from him.
George Ackley has literally killed hundreds of coyotes in the last twenty years or so in all kinds of terrain and states. All over the northeast, Texas, Arizona, etc. Why would folks bash him instead of trying to learn from him? Don't make sense.
I know George's ways can seem kinda rough, but dang boys this ain't knitting class. Who knows you might learn something from him.
I've done a lot of reading about you PA boys and it appears that few of you have more than a dozen coyotes or so. Now there's nothing wrong with that, because numbers isn't what it's all about anyway, BUT maybe George could help some.
Maybe I'm wrong and I'm just trying to help.
For what it's worth I've used the Foxpro myself and wasn't all that impressed, but there's nothing really wrong with it either. Decent call for sure. The preferential treatment they get from other places is what chaps my balls, so that alone will insure that I never own one.
Use what you like and like what you use. :sneer:

I get it Semp, but I did buy a FX5 last year and I could care less that the new model is less money. Why is a digital game caller different from anything else. I didn't buy it as an investment. I bought it as a tool to hunt with. I'm not gonna rush out ditch the FX5 just cause a new caller came out and then complain about loosing money in the resale.
I darn sure betcha anyone that bought a new vehicle can relate that when they traded it in.
What would this topic be like if the Fury was $900? Then everyone would be complaining that the price is to high. You see all those folks here that have a problem with Foxpro gotta have something to complain about.
I could stand to hear the complaining from someone that just bought the FX5 much easier than from someone that hasn't ever bought one. You don't hear to many folks complaining about the price of rice in China. Alot of those that have FX5's feel the same as I, some don't. BUT the price is cheaper for a more advanced caller. Gee thought was good. Ya know, cheaper is better.

I just sold my FX5 for $450 to move it fast. It took one week and had three others wantin' it while I closed the deal. So the loss wasn't that bad, $190 below what I had in it. If I had been willin' to hold out I might have gotten more. He got a good deal.
I got $190 worth out of it when I put it behind my brother-in-laws chicken coop and alternated "Raccoon Fight" and "Chicken Distress". :roflmao: :roflmao:
Two years ago and two weeks ago XBOX360 was $350 now $200. If I had bought a Palm Pilot for ?$ now you get 'em on Craig's list $15.
I had my fun with it and got my money's worth. I'll kick in $150 and be able to occupy my obsessive self for another two years having fun playin' with Goldwave and killing coyotes. Ain't that what this game's about!
