Guest RkyMtn Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hey Guys, I have decided to purchase my first electronic caller. It seems to me at this point the best deal is the Johnny Stewart 612-LR cassette caller, as CD callers are $100 more and come with no media (the 612-LR comes with several cassettes) and I've heard that flash memory callers are not producing much. Does anyone have any input on this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Re: Tapes vs. CDs vs. Flash I use the Johnny stewart cassette one for crows all the time.(i believe it is the 612, medium range, but I'm not sure) i don't see where it is a hassle to switch tapes. You press a button, pull the first one out, and stick the next one in. The noise isn't very loud either.(in my opinion) Also, i see cassettes for sell way more than I see cd's.

WaCoyote Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Re: Tapes vs. CDs vs. Flash I use the one with chips (johnny stewart preymaster)and have had great results. i've called in quite a few yotes and one bobcat in the last few weeks and countless crows. There are four sounds per chip, 3 chips included with system. they play for a minute then stop and you can play two sounds at once. i'd recommend it. lots of different chips available too. I can't compare it to the other types of systems as i've never used them but i'm very happy with mine so far. the batteries seem to last quite a while also. just went on my fifth or sixth trip and they're still crankin away. one other thing, i went hunting a few weeks back and it was -3 when we started and it worked fine. another guy that was useing another type of digital caller froze up. don't know the make. just something to consider. when i was shopping, the tapes were a concern just because everything is starting to go digital and i was worried it may be difficult to find tapes in the future. this may or may not be a problem but i think it will be eventually. being able to download with the cd sounds pretty good though, if it's free to do so. good luck hope you find what suits you.
