Title: DROID X FOR PREDITOR CALLING
Post by: Rhinoron247 on March 28, 2011, 02:36:08 PM: So i just loaded a couple of free predator apps on my Droid X. I have a small but very load powered speaker and am heading out this evening to give it a try. I have played it right along side my Fox Pro and I can't tell any difference in the sound quality or volume. The only draw back is the lack of remote. If this works how cool will that be to have a pocket call.

Just look under your free apps for Preditor. There are a number of free apps and apps you can buy. I downloaded the "coyote hunting calls" that was free. It has a number of calls to choose from.
I live on the westside and have a big farm field next to me that has about 10+ coyote's that i'm going to work on. And yes it's legal to shoot them there too.

Please post a review on them when you have had a chance to determine an outcome.

Post by: GWP on April 07, 2011, 12:38:19 AM: I found two free ones for my Droid X. One I uninstalled, but the other (Coyote Hunting Calls) has 14 different sounds, and is pretty good. That said, all of my yote calling has been by cassette with a cheap player. Built in speaker and all. My father-in-law also used them to good result. Man, those new remote callers are tempting though!

Post by: Decker on April 07, 2011, 12:57:33 AM: I'm downloading it right now. I have a good external speaker and am excited to see what it can do. Keep in mind, if you hunt pressured areas, sometimes having a sound that is a little different can peak interest of wary dogs.

Post by: hunterrcc on April 09, 2011, 10:24:18 PM: I have an iphone loaded the ihunt app and bought a Cass Creek speaker from WHolesale sports for like $45 dollars and it is loud and if you use a ipod, iphone or ipad you can use it as a wireless remote with another appp. The speaker has a 80' cord on it so if you can move it away from you. I just posted the thing about the wild dogs that came in to my caller Wed. It was crazy. I have shot 3 coyotes and had one run by so fast couldn't get a shot. It works great... and alot cheaper then fox pros.
