yeah there is not much out there on the market for 100 that will get you anything great. i would save up to buy a fox pro the new model is like 199.00 the one you could get for cheaper like the powerdog or hunter specialties don't even compare as far a volume and duribility and etc.

I used the Cass Creek Power Horn ($40) and a cheap MP3 player for two years. It was loud enough and had AWESOME batttery life. It was not wireless though so I had to run a wire to set it up. Wasnt that bad but I am happy with my new Spitfire also. It is wireless but only holds 24 sounds but you can change out the Micro SD card really easy and have another 24 sounds.

Here is a site with lots of free sounds to download.

I just bought a Power Dogg from Bass Pro for $120 - I am not very experienced at all so mine is not an informed opinion. (think I should have asked around more too before I bought mine) I only used it about 3 times in one weekend but it does not seem very loud at all, not impressed with the wireless range, and the calls seems very limited - 12 calls and no memory or way to add/change them. Not even sure if the sound of the calls are good - but hey it worked on TV so it has to be good right? Shoot, I better send it back....

some coyotes will come into just about everything, i have called a few in with my cow elk call and i live in the desert, they might just get curious to sounds they have never heard before

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 01, 2010, 04:47:34 PM »

yeah we called bear in using elk calls before. some things work when you don't think they will. hell a guy in town used a goat sound to call in a cougar and it worked well

runamuk · « **Reply #19 on:** July 01, 2010, 04:55:24 PM »

someone at some point said something about either an elephant or a squealing pig

do not remember it was some weird sound that worked....

predatorpro · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2010, 04:59:40 PM »

one of my friends had a cougar come in too him while turkey hunting lol coming in to his hen call, he said it was 20ft behind him, pretty damn close!
