Author Topic: Upgrading the e-caller Rich 2,000th post PAKMAN Member # 112 posted December 22, 2006 09:59 AM                       browning204, Pleased rest assured that most complaints regarding the WT caller has nothing to do with the machine. It is all about the man who owns the company. -------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

If it happens, it happens. You just have to realize that this is another Ford/Chevy issue and people will always have their preferences. I have a couple of hunting buddies that use the WT. What can I say about it, other than it sounds good? The rest of my opinions could be considered somewhat negative. Sorting out the various claims from Foxpro, Wildlife Tech, Minaska, JS, etceteras.... FINE. I'm listening. Arguing about it is very similiar to discussions about seventeen caliber as a proper coyote cartridge; you hardly ever change an opinion, but you sure get to voice your own opinions. By the way, I had a very interesting conversation with Albert, up in Canada last week. His particular "yuk yuk" was the solemn pronouncements we read all the time claiming that a 17 was (at least) perfect for foxes! He's right, of course. A seventeen generally blows them in half, but it sounds reasonable; eh? (that's Canadian) I also might add that Albert wasn't very impressed with my Minaska. Good hunting.

I don't think you should believe everything that Albert says. I just bought a Banit big country a few weeks ago and its not a bad unit. The only thing i don't like about it is the sounds that came with it. I have spent three days getting my sounds into it and now its a much better unit. The big country is easey to operate and not to heavey for carrying around, and was'nt to hard to down load sounds into it. Now the seventeen issue about cutting fox in half. If you make a badd hit you will get some damage, but not as badd as the 22 cal or larger cal. make. take a close look at these pic's. Do you see any large holes or the guts hanging out. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/TA17Rem/IMG_0256.jpg[/IMG]] http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/TA17Rem/foxonfloor.jpg[/IMG]] http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/TA17Rem/Tim4fox.jpg[/IMG]] [ December 22, 2006, 11:05 AM: Message edited by: TA17Rem ] -------------------- What if I told you, the left wing and right wing both belong to same bird!

IP: Logged Leonard HMFIC Member # 2 posted December 22, 2006 12:05 PM                       It's called an analogy, people. Some are imperfect. So, the seventeen doesn't blow foxes in half, any more than other cartridges, right? Everything I ever thought I knew, is completely incorrect, when it comes to seventeens! They always kill coyotes stone dead without any visible damage. They hold better in the wind than any other cartridge, and have far less drop. They don't require frequent cleaning of the barrel, far from it! Never get a runner, becaue of surgically precise placement, ie: exceptional accuracy. Zero recoil, allowing you to see every hit (no misses, of course) Just forget it. I'd go on, but I don't want to hijack this very informative five page thread. Never been accused of that before! Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

You are lucky to have that new Minaska "Big Country" with it's speaker/amp combo. The ability to suddenly turn up the volume so loud that the foxes die of the shock is really worth the extra bucks. -------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

Now thats true Leonard, but i can see from what you just posted you are catching on. I don't no why the seventeens perform like they do, but as far as i'm concerned they do it very well. What i really get a kick out of is when I'm hunting with the crew and i make a 400 yard shot on a coyote. And then one of the guys will ask: are you still shooting that dam seventeen. LOL By the way the rest of the guys on the crew shoot big bores, 22-250, 243, 243 imp, and one uses a 300 W.M. Every year i kill just as many as them... Thanks for the compliment Rich. I will be heading for S.D. next week and we will see how well it performs out in the open country. I'm takeing the cronk screamer and howler along for back-up. -------------------- What if I told you, the left wing and right wing both belong to same bird!

By the way, those are nice fox. I saw five red fox Tuesday, (up in Canada) and one on the Navajo Re$, the week before. That's a first, never seen a red fox in the field, in 50 some years? If a 17 works for you, I'm happy for you. Good hunting. LB [ December 22, 2006, 03:48 PM: Message edited by: Leonard ] -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

The foxes you see are all males and yes they do get pretty big up here. The fox in second pic. we call a runner, its hard to tell in these pic's but that fox legs are alot longer than average fox. Some guys from a town nearby chased him around all winter and could never catch him. i bought them a few drinks one night to loosen up their tongues and the next day i went after him. He was a fast one thats for sure, he made it back to his hole before i could cut him off. When he got to the hole i let out a loud whistle and got him to look back and that gave me and the 17 enough time to get the job done. -------------------- What if I told you, the left wing and right wing both belong to same bird!
