Electronic caller accessories keep your predator setup running once you are sitting on a fence line after dark. This category holds the small parts that go with an e-caller: power, decoys and a way to keep your remote or phone where you can reach it.
For power, the C4 Power House Rechargeable Lithium Battery Pack and the ICOtec TNT Rechargeable AA Battery Kit let you stop buying throwaway cells for every stand. Rechargeables also make it easier to start each night with a full charge instead of guessing how much is left in a set of old AAs.
For motion, the AD400 and AD450 Attachable Predator Decoys attach to your setup so a coyote or fox that comes in on the sound has something moving to lock onto. That movement keeps eyes off you while you get the rifle on target.
The Remote/Phone Holder for Tripods clips your caller remote or phone to the same tripod as your rifle, so you can change sounds or volume without digging through pockets and making noise.
When you choose, start with what your caller runs on and how it takes a decoy, then match the battery and decoy to it. If you hunt at night, pair the setup with a thermal monocular for scanning or a thermal scope on the rifle.
Prey distress sounds, like a dying rabbit, bring in more coyotes for most hunters than anything else, because a hungry coyote expects an easy meal. Howls and pup distress work well in breeding and denning season. An attachable decoy such as the AD400 or AD450 adds motion so the coyote commits instead of hanging up out of range.
Early morning and the last hour of daylight are the classic times, and where night hunting is legal, the dark hours are often better still. Coyotes move and hunt more when light is low. Calling at night means you need a way to see, which is where a thermal monocular and a charged battery for the caller earn their keep.
The right caller is one with clear sound at real volume, a remote with enough range to set the speaker well away from you, and power you can trust in the cold. Rechargeable packs like the C4 Power House or the ICOtec TNT AA kit cover that last part. A decoy on the setup helps finish wary coyotes.
Most electronic predator callers handle foxes well; the sound and volume matter more than the model. Foxes often respond to rodent squeaks, bird distress and lower volume than you would use for coyotes. Set the caller upwind of where you expect the fox to come from, add a moving decoy, and give each stand some time.
