Title: Foxpro or another gun I won't shoot
Post by: GrouseBane on February 28, 2009, 11:21:19 PM: Economy is down, side jobs are up. I got fun-cash burning a hole so cost not an issue. Are the fancy e-callers like foxpro fury a total waste of cash or should I just buy another gun I may never shoot. I bought three of those last year. It's a sickness. Neither safe really closes easy anymore so leaning towards the fury. I like the remote range and dual simultaneous sound idea. My mouth calls are light, get howl-backs and lots of raptors responding, but few dogs exit the timber. Any fox-pro users have any input? Are FP's really the bee's knees? Last blood has seemed to really set the hook.

If you are looking for an ecall I would keep FP at the top of the list.

I always hate to see guns just being stored in a safe and never used. On the upside I guess it keeps the gun makers in business. But with a Foxpro you can hunt year 'round. Coyotes, crows, bobcats, cougars, bears...all can be called in. Much more worthwhile than just having another gun in your safe to look at. I wish I had the money to buy one.

I haven't seen many e-callers that are worth the same original price or more after 5 yrs. Of course right now most gun prices are highly inflated, the counrty is in a depression so do the patrotric thing and buy the Foxpro and help out a small USA business. At least that would be my reasoning :chuckle:

Post by: btlsoom on March 01, 2009, 07:36:52 PM: I would go with the Foxpro. You have it sounds like a couple of safes full, and you probably shoot the same 3 all the time anyhow so go with something that will put those rifles to good use.

Post by: GrouseBane on March 05, 2009, 04:12:17 PM: thanks for the advise guys, was looking at the tandem sound feature on the Fury. Ordered one through APcalls....on a short waiting list and 7-10 days for shipping. Just before April's dumb pups are born. Cabellas had in-stock but $50 for tax and unnecessary moose sounds vs. my choice and $10 shipping, I can wait a few weeks. Getting anxious about May now anyway.... first time to Saskatoon for snow geese!!! I want to see if I can melt the barrel on the msbrg 935. I hear the 'skeeters are big enough to land in the field, stand flatfooted and F@%& your bird dog.
Regards
