Calling apps

Anyone using apps on an iPhone to do the calling and use a Bluetooth speaker? I think I want to go this route rather than an expensive FoxPro I am locked into. Plus I can use it for music, if I want too.

I was never a predator hunter but there is just too darn many coyotes and I am tried of other things trying to eat my chickens. Tired of trapping and going on the offensive.

Animal Audio has a bunch of free sounds. Yes it works, especially when you forget your remote at the house and you’ve already made the drive for coyotes. The Outlaw+ has Bluetooth capabilities and it works out to about 50+ yards.
 
For most situations i am calling, the volume would not be there. You will need an expensive speaker to retain quality at high volume, so most likely one with an amp, a horn speaker, and large power supply for my calling (bringing them from 1/2-1mile away)

If you are going to go sit in your deer stand in a timber (or by your chickens) that they frequent and call quietly, yeah probably work if they are already there to begin with. But be aware they could be traveling up to 5 miles each day to get to your chickens… being there with a bluetooth speaker the 15 minutes they are within a couple hundred yards is relying on pure luck.

You would be better off finding a used (or new) cheaper foxpro in the $75-100 range depending on what deals you get.
 
Back in the day, I put together a caller with a Sony speaker from a sound system, it ran off of 6 C-cell batteries. It was about 4x4x6 in size and had a built in amp and volume control. I used it with a Walkman cassette player and later a Walkman type CD player and finally with a Nady remote system. I called a.lot of coyotes in eastern WA. I think a Bluetooth speaker of higher quality designed for volume would work.

I will say I'm old, my phone stays in the truck. I wouldn't have the faintest idea.how.to use an app., or even find one. I have a hard enough time using the alarm clock on this thing.

Good luck to you and your chickens.

I looked on Amazon and see they have 80/90 watt job site Bluetooth speakers that look like they could have some serious volume if needed.

My only experience with Bluetooth tooth is my hearing guy hooked up my hearing aids to my phone. Boy can I hear people great on there phone BUT it also rings in my ears so the phone hangs up before I can find it.

I have an app on my phone, used it a few times but know if I ever got any response. Convergent app - has some free sounds. Don't have the B.T. amp either. But where I hunt is only a hundred acres of partial woods. I night hunt and have seen some stuff in the bushes but no ID possible so no shot.
