I have a Johnny Stewart, which sounds great but is inconvenient to use, because there's no remote. I've only got $75 into it though.

Are you wanting one for your spring bear hunt?

It sounded good for a day, than is sounded like junk!!!(made in china) I ended getting a Furry 2 FoxPro. It's awesome. The best part is it is made in the USA. I don't mind spending extra money on products made in America.

On that topic is there any place to get good (and free!) calls? I miss the days of Napster...perhaps we need a game call sharing network!

I also have a foxpro spitfire, and the attachable , Fox Jack 2 decoy. I think its awsome! 36 soundsThe remote comtrols the decoy and the caller. It also has an extra speaker jack so you can add a speaker from radio shack. Its small and very convenient. spend the extra $350 ish altogether. Got mine on sale for $250ish.

I'm pretty sure my spitfire only holds 24 sounds.

If the link Doesn't work go to Foxpro.com and go to sounds there is a tab for free sounds. Also if interested they have a forum that also list items for sale several used caller s for sale right now.
I have the firestorm + foxjack with 50+ sounds so far and think it is the cats meow

Mine has a slot for a micro sd card. Since it only holds 24 sounds I have two or three cards, each one for a different hunt.

If anyone wants to do a bulk file swap send me a pm, I would like to diversify my collection.
