Spitfire vs PowerDogg?

[Jerry malbeck]

The Spitfire is a great caller , much like the first foxpro i  owned .
 I harvested a bunch of coyotes with my first caller , they didn't even have a remote back then .
 You do not need ear shattering volume , just the opposite , most guys use way to much .
 When you consider a coyote can hear a lip squeak @ 1/4 mile its pretty safe to assume that a e caller  set 30 yards out with the volume set where you can just hear it is going to do the job .
The spitfire has plenty of volume .
As for waterproof that's a easy fix, just put it in a zip lock or a carry bag, it will still get plenty of sound out .
All E callers  will do the job , I would love to tell you that the foxpro is the only caller that will bring in fur , but i like to be honest and that's the way FoxPro wants it , they build a great caller , FoxPro listens to callers and build what the customers in the field want , FoxPro has  a large fieldstaff that conduct R and D work on not only callers but the sounds they work so hard to make available .The field staff is not paid , when you look at the members of FoxPro's field staff (the best in the business) you have to ask yourself why these field staff members would represent a company witout compensation , the reason is Integrity , and
The effort put forth by foxpro to deliver the best product they can . The five year warranty is way above and beyond what any one else offers , and they stand behind it . for me the choice was very easy to make .

Thanks for the great info Jerry. Thats amazing when you think about how acute their hearing is - a lip sqeak at a 1/4mi - dang. I have seen their sharp hearing 1st hand when I was able to call in a dog that seemed to be at least over a mile away, but I tend to forget about that when I'm worried about volume and cranking up my call...  

After reading your post on another recent thread I checked out the FoxPro website and I was impressed. They have some pretty cool features and I really like the FoxBang option. Now I'm thinking about going with the FireStorm.

Well I like the foxpro and if you watch you can snag a fx3 for 300 or less.

is the firestorm water proof?

[Jerry malbeck]

there is not a caller on the market that is waterproof.

I got my spitfire used off Ebay for like 150...no way I am spending 4-6 hun for an ecaller....I like it, seems to be a large volume difference between vol 4 and vol 5, but for what its worth, I am happy with it. Good luck with whatever you choose!

I bought a Powerdog last spring.  I am lucky if the remote works half the time and even when it does their is no range.  Really disapointed in it.  So I bought a Firestorn that works very well.  Have only had it out a couple of times with no luck so far but I am not blaming the call for the lack of yotes.

Im going out tomorrow with my Spitfire.  I will see if I can do a review video on it or something.

Foxpro Spitfire Review

Nice job on the review, Kain. I just purchased a spitfire for my X-mas gift, it's been working just fine for me. I do need to download a few more sounds. Good Hunting!

Kain- there is a bobcat on top of that brush pile to your right when you are at 100 yds from the call.

[Heredoggydoggy]

Very nice job!  Nothing wrong with the sounds on that model.  It's smaller than the ads make it look.  Compact, and hell, if it's raining, put a piece of camo plastic over it!

I thought at least one person would bite and claim they rewatched just to prove me wrong.
