Thinking about trying crow hunting next year and started looking at electronic calls. 'Bout fell out of my chair looking at the prices.
Is there a reason to spend $200+ on a FoxPro when a wireless bullhorn speaker is just a few bucks?
Ex:Amazon.com : Pyle PMP42BT Bluetooth Megaphone with Bullhorn : Sports & Outdoors
Paint it with a camo rattle can and use my phone to play MP3s of crow sounds to it?
What are you paying for with the pricey game e-callers? I get that they would have been expensive a decade ago if they had proprietary sounds in them, ran off a battery etc. But anymore the sounds are online for free or cheap and wireless sound transmission is easy too.
Basically all I really want is a wireless speaker with a way of loading up some MP3 files. It would be nice to get something self contained like a fox pro but for the money I think I could cobble something together for 20% of the price or less.
Anyway, just curious if anyone has experience with making their own e-caller or why the price is justified with the foxpros and similar.
