Why so many foxpros for sale?

I have bought and sold an AR4, an FX3, a Scorpion X1A and a Fury. I liked them all. I also had a Cass Creek a Mimic and an Extreme Dimensions for awhile. I currently have settled on one of the newer Scorpion X1Bs and an out dated WT 2030MS.

On a set Sunday while MulePacker set-up across the creek, I hung the WT on a steel fence post, moved 30 yards or so up the line and set up in front of a fence post backed by the tall sage where I could look out over a big ole Prairie Dog Town. I reached for the WT remote and realized I had left it at the truck, 4 miles back where we had unloaded the ATVs. I pulled out the Scorpion, hung it in some sage next to me and fired up a little "Lightening Jack."

When a pair came over the ridge and down hot after Tucker in the PD town they looked like a couple of Polar Bears closing in. I figured the larger coyote was the male. He is the one in the picture. The female split, but came right back when the FoxBang swapped to the pup distress. She got a pass.

I'm not sure my Scorpion X1B will ever be for sale....but, who knows? It could happen!
 
I agree that most of it is due to folks upgrading. When I first came to this site, after reading the posts, a guy would have thought that he couldn't kill a coyote without a foxpro 416, then the fx3, then the fx5, the scorpion, fury, cs-24 and on and on. Such is as marketig goes. I've had an fx3 since they came out, still works, still kills coyotes and I aint selling!
 
Agreed, Ive had an fx3 sold it in early summer, bought the fury later in the summer and sold it this feb, for what i had in it and bought a new cs-24 15w . I love the cs but sometime in march i had a break through with my handcalls and somewhat figured them out and called two singles in one morning!! Now the decision is to keep the CS24 or sell it and buy something smaller and easier to pack??? what would you do ?? LOL

Hey T/C

I am looking at getting another ecaller, so I am curious why Fox Pro is the best. Can you provide some specifics?

thanks

Quality of unit and sounds. They are as good as any on the market and better than almost all the others.

Customer service, they are the best...period (and that always matters with electronics).

I recently sold my FX5 because I stopped using it after I got my Fury. I also have an older WT that I use occasionally for long range setups (1mi+ remote range) and won't sell (can't get that remote range anymore, it was illegal), and a GameTracks that I have only used a couple times in Iraq to call jackals and will probably sell when I can get to it (good unit, I just prefer my Fury).

E-callers are definitely not the magic bullet (I use hand calls too), but they are useful tools when you want to direct the coyote's (or whatever) attention to somewhere other than where you are.

I called a pack of jackals (8 or 10) into our big truck parking lot late one night in al Asad Iraq using a hand call while sitting on top of a SCUD bunker covered by a tree branch. I figured the bunker was high enough (7'ish, vertical concrete sides) that they couldn't get up it...they climbed the tree!. I was unarmed (other than a 3' steel bar) as this was on base (where I wasn't allowed to be armed and they weren't allowed to be hunted), so it got a little exciting. I managed to convince them I was bigger and badder than them (with a little timely help from a tractor trailer pulling into the yard and hitting them with his headlights), but I rarely used a hand call again over there.



 
I have an fx3 and a WT MA21. I like both calls and they both work well. I've called coyotes with both. It seems like this summer I am getting more response out of the fx3. The only way I would sell my fx3 is to upgrade to the fury or one of my boys needed a organ transplant!:) The wife would have to fend for herself!!!!!

1) There are a lot of folks that think they can buy an electronic caller, go out somewhere, sit under a tree or by a bush, turn on the caller and animals will come running. They try *that* a few times, and give up. Caller goes up for sale.

2) Many guys sell their callers to upgrade.

3) More FP callers sold than all others combined. Naturally when you see a caller for sale, there's a good chance it might be a FP.

I'm starting to get scared!!! We think alike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I have heard nothing but good about Foxpro E-callers and like TT told me yesterday, for a beginner hunter like me, its easy to set up in the middle of a field surrounded by timber and get crosswind from it, so if the 'yotes do try to get downwind, you can see them without them smelling you. Having said that, I plan on watching his video as much as I can and become proficient in hand calling as well.

DON'T be thinking like me! You'll go blind.

Go turn a call, shoot some bug holes, keep yourself busy. An idle mind is a dangerous thing.
