ICOtec GEN2 GC350 programmable electronic game caller.
Pure and simple, electronic game callers are a great tool for those hunters who have only marginal confidence in their mouth-calling abilities. By adding the authentic sounds produced by these predator-calling machines, novice callers can add the versatility and realism to their calling efforts that will help level the playing field. The appeal of the e-caller, of course, is that it produces the actual recorded sounds of prey species in distress, the territorial/fighting fracas of other predators and even confidence sounds such as the cries of avian predators and scavengers. E-callers and the multitude of recorded sounds they offer can elevate anyone’s level of proficiency by giving them a tool that delivers that realistic advantage. And they can also be used as a teaching tool. Users can use mouth calls to replicate the actual animal recordings played on their e-caller to gain proficiency. So, whether you’re a beginner or veteran caller, take a look at this handful of top-shelf models that might just expand your predator calling horizons.
