Just throwing this out there for the sake of conversation and/or in the event it happens to anyone else.
Last night after charging my call, I folded up the legs to put it away and the back one popped off. Not sure how I never noticed it working itself off, but man is it tuff to get those back on. The way I got it go back together was to remove the screw on the call and take out the metal piece that the "rod" of the leg goes into. I don't know how they press those on, but it's a very tight fit. The only thing I could find that I could think of using was a punch. It gradually flares out to the thick part of the punch and fit nicely into the hole of the bracket. I had a piece of wood with a hole in it I have used for punching out roll pins, so I placed the bracket over the whole and hammered the punch into it to increase the size of the hole until I was finally able to get the bracket started on the "rod" of the leg. I still had to pound the bracket onto the rod with a hammer. I put the screw back in and it seems to work as it should.
There's always more than one way to skin a cat, so I' sure someone could get this done a different way. I'm just glad I was able to get it back together without having to call Foxpro.
