Full Version: wildlife Caller with remote

Going on 22 years now and I think it's about time that I purchase a good wildlife caller with remote capabilities. Over the years I have used cassette and or CD wildlife callers without remote. Now you have to set yourself up for a shot with those type. Canine circle down wind and you best be in the right spot when they make their circle.


With the remote one can hunt cross wind and play with the predators brain a little. A thing that is needed here in the Northeast to bag coyotes.


Some of the remote callers come with 8, 16, 32, 50. The particular Foxpro FX5 that does come with 50 sounds can hold up to 200 sounds.
Now all I have to do is get the money to purchase one of these Foxpro that have the capability of holding 200 sounds. Neat thing is you can overlay this unit with your own calling too. Your KIYI, Your coyote challenge, Your female inviation call, your fieldmouse, your woodpecker, etc.




Here you can hear some of the sounds you can get on the FOXPRO wildlife caller:

Yeah...LOL.... Technology just keeps on improving... Were I still able to get out and call I would seriously consider one of the FOXPRO set ups... I have heard some real good things about them... When I first started calling there were still some of the old "record player callers" around...and the last time I did any calling my old JS cassette caller was still "state of the art".

I have an fx3 and wouldn't be without it

I am considering of buying FOXPRO FX5. I probably should have had the FOXPRO with the remote years back. Of course the FX5 is new. 50 sounds with the capability to put 200 total on the caller.

Wow someday I am going to sale some of these other callers I have on E-Bay. Record type, cassette, CD, Chip, nonremote Foxpro 38, JS add on type too. I must have about 100 cassettes. Maybe I will just hold on to them and use all the sounds I have to over lay to the FX5.
Uncle Buck
I purchased the FX5. Sure is different loading your own sounds to this unit. They have to be in MP3 and or Wav format. I recoreded 43 of my own sounds and took some others off CD's. the FX5 holds up to 200 sounds. When I finally get around to loading the additional sounds the FX5 will have 123 sounds on it.


Decided to place a bugle calvary charge, Taps, and Revele on it too. Many times when calling you will call in the curious humans. Could you imagine what someone would think approaching your area looking for what animal is making that sound. Then you change the sound to the Calvary charge? Since in cases like this your calling spot is busted my as well have a little fun with the incoming inquisitive persons too.

I'd like to have one of these, with the calvary charge following enough turkey gobbles to get some of my annual turkey hunting trespassers in the woods. Wouldn't they be surprised? Penn Woods used to make a gobble tube, with replaceable reeds, and it was awesome. They quit making them and I haven't been able to find another that actually sounds like a real gobbler. Perhaps I need to look at the electronic ones. I have called hunters into the woods with the old Penn's. Dangerous, yeah! But I always was there legally, and they "snuck" in.

It has been a little frustrating programming the FX5 FOXPRO with my own sounds. It will not accept WAVE files. The thing you need to load your own sounds in MP3 format. Todate from not giving up and playing around with this and that on the computer I finally loaded 40 of my own sounds. Now I'm trying to load some of the sounds from CD's and or from some of my other wildlife callers. Again I have to get them into MP3 format. I have been learning a lot but it has been by all trial and error. I'm not one to give up. Wish I knew when to Rip, When to Burn, When to Send To , when To Sent, When to Copy to, When to Folder to: I have been trying to get sound folders to the FOXPRO processing tool. However if any of the sounds are not MP3it will not work. Sure wish that they made a recorder that you could record sounds and they would be MP3format and not wave? Also on some of the WEB players there is an AAC button that might change it over to MP3????????
Also when you pull sounds to an MP3 IPOD from an CD. How do you move the MP3 formated sounds from your IPOD to "My Documents" Also when you try to burn a Commercial sound CD it will not allow you do this because of copyrights. There got to be a way to load MP3 formated sounds from an IPOD back to Desk Top and or My Documents. Then over to the FOXPRO processing screen.

Actually both my son and or daughter will probably end up looking over my shoulder. I'm just excited to date to go from 50 sounds to 90 sounds. I have room for another 110 wildlife sounds.

Anyway should any of you buy an FX5 you just might get frustrated unless you understand how to make MP3 format and also how to folder them and be able to move them to the FP processing tool.


FP will sale you additional sounds in 16 increments for $25.00 each. However Why do that when I have a calling library to draw sounds down from. Those $25.00 add up real fast. 40 sounds would have cost me over $75.00. Also just think the sounds on there now. No one else in the entire state of Pennsylvania or the U. S. has those particular sounds, pitch, groans, etc. Things like this will outsmart the the smartest predators.





I would also like to say something about MP3 IPODs. If you love music you should own one of these. I could not get over how the IPOD sounds? What an outstanding technical break through the IPOD is. I burned the Good, The Bad & the Ugly CD to my IPOD. What an outstanding listening experience.
Going to be nice to relax, listen to the IPOD, and read some good hunting book out on the hammock.

I finally broke the code on how the FOXPRO FX5 works. Something it so easy to load the sounds once you understand how it works. I now have 136 sounds on it. If anyone buys one and is having a problem knowing what not to do and what to do and what will work I will be happy to help you out. Just drop me a P. M.
