Calling Technic with Foxpro’s Foxmotion

[tdtowers5]

Does anyone use the Foxmotion feature on their Foxpro callers? Do you find it makes a more effective stand, and initiates a coyote or other predator to respond quicker?

I think having the sound changing volumes and switching to coming out of different speakers has to sound more realistic than the sound coming out of just one speaker and staying at one volume. Before I bought Foxpro Callers with remote controls, I used cassette callers with one speaker and no remote controll. I did call in and kill lots of coyotes without being able to change the volume or sound.

When I first bought a Foxpro FX-5, I started using a SP-55 external speaker so I could point the sounds in two different directions. Ever since then I have always used two speakers to help spread the sound out in different directions.

I played with fox motion a time or two on my old Fusion caller. It does add another layer to how it sounds bouncing back and forth between the two speakers in the case of the Fusion caller. I’ll admit that I hadn’t used it enough to say it produced more coyotes or fox. I certainly don’t think it hurts anything. I just prefer to keep my sets as simple as possible. Less time playing with my remote and more time looking for incoming critters.

I didn't even know about having Fox Motion on my X-24 and X-Wave callers! LOL


Since I am using two speakers all the time I am going to give Fox Motion a try.

Thanks hunt0168 and tdtowers5 for the post and reply.

My call is always pointing in a direction other than "at me". Sometimes It is 80-100yds away and I still have no problem hearing it (75y/o ears). Ramping the volume IMO is all that's needed.

So am I to assume this feature does not work with the X24? It has two speakers but they are right in the middle together.

I believe it only works if you are running an auxiliary speaker with the X24. Pretty sure that’s what I remember reading about my X2s caller.

I recently upgraded to the X24, and I am just learning about it features. With the X24 speakers, it has that capability. I am curious on how it performs and how effective it is.

That sounds correct to me. Fox Motion should work good If you use a external speaker pointed 90 to 180 degrees apart from the X-24 speaker.

From the X24 users manual...

6-1 FOXMOTION
FOXMOTION is a unique feature that allows you to “move” the sound between the internal speaker and an external speaker at varying rates to portray an effect of the sound (animal) moving. There are 5 different rates or speeds at which you can have FOXMOTION operate. The lower the setting, the more gradual the transition from one speaker to the other will be. To activate FOXMOTION, turn on the X24 and X24 remote. Begin sound playback like normal. Access the X24 remote main menu24and select the FOX FEATURES item. Select FOXMOTION and change it to“ on.” Then select the Rate item directly beneath it to adjust the speed that FOXMOTION operates at.

Yup, youve got the button for both fix motion and fusion but it ain’t Finn’s work on the x24.

I’ve used fox motion a bunch, and now the 360 version. Sounds great, couldn’t tell you if it makes a difference or not

Saturday, October 31 started out with drizzle and 10 mile an hour winds. We waited until around 8:30 AM for some of it to burn off and then started calling first stand. Here he comes a nice male killed at around 70 yards. We went through many dry stands until we found a couple more that we’re willing to come into the sound I was playing. On this stand, I saw one coming from a quarter mile away and he had his afterburners on, we bark stopped him at about 80 yards and down he went. We were both laying prone on a Hilltop and I couldn’t see very well to my left and as I was going to get up a Coyote was 13 yards from me and all I saw was butt hole. He took off down the hill and we barked and barked and barked. He finally stopped at 188 yards and down he went. We then went to another stand around a half mile away and I spotted a coyote on the ridge line around 1 mile away, he then disappeared over the Hilltop to never show. Onto another stand and I had a decent male come in from about a half a mile and he was put to rest around 100 yards.
We ended the day with five coyotes and three had mange, we did get a freebie as we are pulling into a new Ranch one popped up at around 70 yards so we both got out and 123
‘D him.
This Coyote was not much bigger than a house cat and had some serious mange, we did him a huge favor.

I didn’t use Fox fusion on any of the stands and I usually blare the music at full volume. We can usually see for miles where I hunt.

We are now at 38 coyotes for October, last October we killed 14.

We were going to hunt today, but we knew the winds and the rain would be here so it’s off to watching football.
