Homemade e-caller

[Jacob]

Made this the other day. I think it cost around $80. It is loud and clear. Same as one on Varmint Al's website but I mounted the speaker on a piece of plywood thats is fitted to the bottom of the bag. I use my ipod to play mp3's. Going to go in the morning and try it out. I'll let y'all know how it works out. Is there any way to get Foxpro sounds in mp3 format? Thanks, Nick

Looks good Jacob, nice work!

I'd love to hunt with an E-caller, but not allowed here in Alberta.

Thanks Chuck and Andy. I took it out yesterday. I wasn't sure how loud it would be out in the open but I was very satisfied. I got a bunch of sounds from Western Rivers and Varmint Al's. Some play clear and some others aren't so great. I am pretty sure it has to do with the recording quality and not the player itself. I will have to cut out the sounds that aren't up to par. If anybody has some good sounds they would email me I would be grateful.

I didn't have any luck with the coyotes but I think that has to do with what I have done in the last two weeks. In my 2 previous hunts before yesterday I hunted in about the same location and educated the coyotes both times. I had one come up about 20ft behind me and the other time I had one coming in from about 100 yards out but I was out of position and when I tried to get into position he spotted me and took off. Both hunts were with mouth calls and that is what prompted me to make this. I can make a playlist and set it out about 100 yards or so. That way the attention is not on me which seemed to be my problem the last couple of times.
