FOXPRO, offers a full range of callers starting at $199. to $999.
For all budgets and all styles or calling needs or desires one may seek in an electronic game caller.

If a FOXPRO game caller falls into your equation it maybe of interest to you to read their comparison chart here before buying anything--> COMPARISON CHART

The only price not listed is their customer service and that in itself is priceless!

I own a alpha dogg really like it.Do not compare it to power dogg.This thing is loud great sounds and alot of them.not made cheap either real simple to pack and carry.Only complaint back lighting does not go low enough for me when night hunting.
 
Dim the night lights with a couple pieces of window tint film. Cover the sticky side with packing tape or put two pieces together back to back so they won't stick to the call if they get wet. Tinting shops have all kinds of scraps for free. Get several different shades to experiment with in a dark room and very dimly lit room. Use removable tape or poster putty to mount.
My alpha dogg arrives Jan 3rd from Cabelas. They have a sale on them for $249 and a $20 off instant rebate online....so, $229+shipping. Best price I cound find after 2 hrs of searching. Will be using the long range remote a lot. Our yotes have gotten very smart and use cover like a 007 secret agent unless your in a tree blind. Will be trying some baby pig sounds near the river for hogs too.

I ordered the alpha dogg a couple weeks ago through cheaper than dirt. $211 plus shipping. I have only been out once, call is very loud and clear. Easy to pack and carry.
 
The wife got me this for christmas. So far it looks like an impressive unit. Very loud. Will give a detailed review after I try it out tomorrow night.
 
Saw their site was out of stock with no back orders, so Cabelas was the delivered best price with inventory on the shelf. Can't wait till tomorrow....ready to see if I can pull out any shy coyotes between the pasture and the lake. Lots of cover around the lake.
 
Bought my aplha dogg at gander mtn a little more pricier than that of cabelas and they would not do price match since not within an hour, but hey gift cards go a long way.

Took the call out yesterday for a late afternoon hunt and very impressed with the volume it put out. Could hear the sound echoing all through the river bottoms. Called in 2 yotes but wasnt sitting in enough cover and they made me out before getting close enough to shoot at.

I previously owned the Foxpro Spitfire and it was a great call but just not loud enough for me, but the Alpha Dogg has plenty of volume and enough preloaded sounds to have you set for any type of hunting.

Great call, had a minor problem with the remote getting signal to call at about 50 yards but I had the call in some cover and that might have been the problem. Still a great call and for 250 at Cabelas I dont think you will find anything better.

Djott22,
Primos has the 1.3version of software out for upgrades on the alpha & turbo units as of last week. I think it will help on the remote issues I have been complaining about for 5 months also...hopefully.
 
I got the Alpha Dogg, not really a night hunter but my son and I wanted to try it out. Loud and very clear, 1 set one dead coyote. Going to try it in daylight very happy with it so far.

Thanks for that, im actually in the process of installing the update right now. Hope it doesnt take the 2hrs they say I would like to go sit on a stand with it before I have to go to work.
 
Well the reality is Foxpro has more options,more versatility and can fit the budget in differnt configurations.You can even have the custom shop build a frankenstein if you want and can afford it. It kinda comes down to prefrence and budget but both can be problamatic in differnt ways at different times.Iv sent foxpros in to repair as well but I have several and nothing is imprevious to all weather and situations.

Maybe you have already discovered this but under settings there are a selections of themes and there's a night theme on there that is not nearly as bright.

My PAD(Primos Alpha Dogg) just arrived today and the sound quality is incredible..some of the call sets give me goose bumps with anticipation. Can't wait to go out with it tomorrow. I think I am in love all over again...don't tell my wife!

Thanks for the heads up on the night setting. It changes from green to red under the "setup/themes" menu for night use which will make a huge night stealth difference. Brightness is also fully adjustable under the setup menu. So, "night theme" and "1 brightness" provides maximum stealth with no dinking around with tint film and tape...perfect! I plan to try leaving it on night theme(red) and just adjust brightness,if necessary, as the sun rises and sets.
 
For a few $ more than the little 24 sound Spitfire, the Alpha Dogg is the cat's meow....and yote's howl, and fox's bark............you get my point.
 
i have the same problem with the remote and the range. I found if you set it up with the leg stands you do get better range.
 
I just placed my order today. After checking over all the calls available I had to get this one. If its as good as all the reviews make it out to be, why would I buy anything else?
 
my alpha has killed three cats..idk how many fox and three yotes. ive had it for four months now...estimated 30 sets and yet no battery change! ive had the caller 175 steps away before. no distortion...
