Best Predator Calls (2026): 8 Electronic and Hand Calls, Ranked

OAOSS America Editors · Editorial Team October 19, 2026 18 min read How we test

Calling a coyote comes down to three things: a sound it believes, enough volume to reach it, and a setup that keeps its eyes on the sound instead of on you. A good electronic call handles all three. It holds a library of realistic distress and coyote sounds, it's loud, and its remote lets you put the speaker out away from you while you stay still.

Searches for electronic predator calls are up 250% over the last 30 days in Google's related-search data, with ICOtec and FOXPRO leading the brand searches. We compared the calls hunters are searching for and ranked eight you can order today, from a $35 hand-call kit to a $600 FOXPRO. Every price below was checked on Sportsman's Warehouse on October 9, 2026, and every spec comes from the maker. This is a research guide, not a hands-on test.

The short answer

For most predator hunters, the FOXPRO X24 is the call to beat. If you'd rather spend less, here's where to go:

Best overall: FOXPRO X24, about $600. See it at Sportsman's →
Best value combo: ICOtec Outlaw+ with decoy, about $400. See it at Sportsman's →
360-degree sound: Lucky Duck Revolt 2.0, about $600. See it at Sportsman's →
Under $200 with a decoy: ICOtec 320+, about $180. See it at Sportsman's →
Cheapest e-caller: Western Rivers Mantis Pro 100, about $110. See it at Sportsman's →
Hand calls: FOXPRO Furtaker 3-pack, about $35. See it at Sportsman's →

How we chose

Nobody at OSS America ran these calls on a stand for this guide. We started from what hunters are searching for right now: Google's related searches for "predator call" over the last 30 days are led by "best predator call" and "electronic predator call," with ICOtec, FOXPRO, Lucky Duck and The Verminator all climbing. Then we checked which of those calls Sportsman's Warehouse had in stock and able to ship to a home address on October 9, 2026. The FOXPRO Shockwave was out of stock and couldn't ship, so it's not ranked.

For each call we pulled the maker's specs (from FOXPRO's and ICOtec's own sites where they publish them, and the Sportsman's listing otherwise) and compared sounds included and capacity, remote range, whether a decoy comes in the box, power, warranty and price. Where owner reviews say something useful, we tell you what owners report and where.

Prices from Sportsman's Warehouse on October 9, 2026 (sale prices where shown), before tax. Every item showed Ship To Home available that day. Specs from FOXPRO, ICOtec, Lucky Duck and Western Rivers via the maker sites and the Sportsman's listings. FOXPRO doesn't publish a remote range for the X24.

What you pay vs. sounds in the box: Sportsman's Warehouse prices on October 9, 2026 and sounds included out of the box, cheapest first. Save it or pin it.

How to read the chart: the orange bar is how many sounds come loaded, and the line under each name is the price per included sound. The Mantis Pro 100 is the cheapest per sound by far, and the ICOtec 320+ is the most expensive per sound because you're mostly paying for the decoy and remote. Above $300, the Lucky Duck Riot 2.0 and ICOtec Outlaw+ load more sounds per dollar than the FOXPRO X24, and the Revolt 2.0 ties it. What the X24 adds is a lithium battery and charger in the box, a tweeter and FOXPRO's extra features. And remember that more sounds isn't the same as better sounds.

The 8 best predator calls, ranked

FOXPRO X24

Best electronic predator call overall

FOXPRO X24. Photo: Sportsman's Warehouse listing.

Sportsman's Warehouse: about $600 · Sounds: 200 included, holds 1,000 · Weight: 5 lb (FOXPRO)

If you want one e-caller that does everything well and you don't want to upgrade again in two seasons, the FOXPRO X24 is the one to look at first. It pairs a horn speaker with a separate tweeter, which FOXPRO says improves high-frequency sound, and the handle folds out into a stand so you can lift the speaker above grass and brush.

FOXPRO's own spec sheet lists 200 sounds included and room for 1,000, an 11.1-volt 5,200 mAh lithium battery pack with a charger in the box, a jack for a second speaker, a jack for a FOXPRO decoy and a 5-year limited warranty. It's made in the USA. The TX-1000 remote has a full-color screen and FOXPRO's extra features: FOXBANG (switches sounds automatically when you shoot), FOXMOTION (fades the sound left to right to suggest a moving animal), FOXCAST (a preset calling sequence) and FOXDATA (logs temperature, barometer, moon phase and stand time).

FOXPRO's site showed a 4.79 average from 62 owner reviews on October 9, 2026. Most praise the volume, sound quality and remote range. The complaints are worth knowing too: one owner found the stock coyote vocals "tinny" and the sound-management software clumsy, and another said they'd count on the remote to about 50 yards. FOXPRO doesn't publish a remote range for the X24. Sportsman's Warehouse had it at $599.99 with free ship-to-home on October 9.

Speakers	1 horn + 1 tweeter (XHD)
Sounds	200 included, 1,000 max (FOXPRO)
Power	11.1V 5,200 mAh lithium pack + charger included
Run time	3 to 7 hours (FOXPRO)
Weight	5.00 lb
Jacks	External speaker, decoy (aux), USB
Warranty	5 years, limited; made in USA

Pros

+ Rechargeable lithium battery and charger included, so no stack of AAs
+ Horn plus tweeter for a fuller range of sounds
+ Folding stand lifts the speaker off the ground
+ Strong owner ratings on FOXPRO's site

Cons

− No decoy in the box (the X-Decoy is extra)
− FOXPRO doesn't publish a remote range
− Some owners dislike the stock coyote vocals
− Heaviest unit here at 5 lb

ICOtec Outlaw+ Call/Decoy Combo

Best value call and decoy combo

ICOtec Outlaw+ Call/Decoy Combo. Photo: Sportsman's Warehouse listing.

Sportsman's Warehouse: about $400 (on sale from $449.99) · Sounds: 165, holds 2,000 · Remote: 300 yd

Searches for ICOtec predator calls are up 300% this month, and the Outlaw+ is ICOtec's programmable call-and-decoy combo at Sportsman's. It's a complete kit: caller, remote and ICOtec's AD400 spinning decoy in one box. ICOtec says the remote reaches 300 yards without line of sight, and you can also run the caller from your phone over Bluetooth at up to 100 yards.

It comes with 165 sounds, including 15 from Tony Tebbe of Predator University, and a 32GB SD card that holds up to 2,000. You can add more through the Animal Audio app. ICOtec lists 24-bit sound files and the ability to play two sounds at once, such as a coyote vocal over a prey distress. The front end of the caller is raised so sound projects over ground cover, and it mounts on a tripod.

The trade-off is batteries. The caller takes 10 AAs and the whole kit needs 18 (caller, remote and decoy), none included. On October 9 Sportsman's Warehouse had the Outlaw+ for $399.97, down from $449.99. ICOtec now calls a newer model, the Outlaw Pro ($499.99 on ICOtec's own site), its flagship; Sportsman's didn't list it that day.

Sounds	165 included, up to 2,000 on 32GB SD
Remote	GCX+ remote, 300 yd, no line of sight needed
Bluetooth	Up to 100 yd (app control)
Decoy	AD400 included, adjustable speed
Two sounds at once	Yes
Power	10 AA caller; 18 AA total for the kit (not included)

Pros

+ Decoy included at a mid-range price
+ 300-yard remote plus phone control
+ Plays two sounds at once
+ Big sound capacity and an app for new sounds

Cons

− 18 AA batteries for the full kit
− No lithium battery option listed
− Not ICOtec's newest model anymore

Lucky Duck Revolt 2.0

Best for 360-degree calling

Lucky Duck Revolt 2.0. Photo: Sportsman's Warehouse listing.

Sportsman's Warehouse: about $600 · Sounds: 200, holds 2,000 · Remote: 300+ yd

"Verminator predator calls" is one of the fastest-rising searches in this category right now, and this is why: Lucky Duck's sound library is compiled by Rick Paillet, known as The Verminator. At Sportsman's, the Revolt 2.0 sits between the Riot 2.0 and the Super Revolt 2.0.

Its signature feature is a base you can rotate from the remote, so you can swing the sound 360 degrees without leaving your setup. Lucky Duck lists 200 preloaded sounds (2,000 capacity), high-output speakers with an added tweeter, an LD2XR remote with a 300+ yard range and backlit buttons, an erratic 3-speed motorized decoy that stores on the call, a 6-inch tripod and an XL carry bag. It carries a 5-year warranty.

It runs on a 10-AA battery cartridge, with an optional rechargeable lithium pack sold separately. On October 9 Sportsman's Warehouse had it at $599.99, the same price as the FOXPRO X24. If you want two sounds at once and a lithium battery in the box, the Super Revolt 2.0 was $799.99.

Sounds	200 preloaded, 2,000 capacity (The Verminator, Rick Paillet)
Remote	LD2XR, 300+ yd, backlit
Base	Remote-controlled 360-degree rotation
Decoy	3-speed motorized, included
Extras	6 in tripod, XL E-Caller bag
Power	10 AA cartridge (lithium pack optional)
Warranty	5 years

Pros

+ Rotating base aims sound without moving
+ Decoy, tripod and bag included
+ Verminator sound library
+ 5-year warranty

Cons

− Same price as the X24 but runs on AAs out of the box
− Lithium pack costs extra
− Bulkier kit to carry

Lucky Duck Riot 2.0

Best compact caller with a decoy

Lucky Duck Riot 2.0. Photo: Sportsman's Warehouse listing.

Sportsman's Warehouse: about $300 · Sounds: 150, holds 2,000 · Remote: 300+ yd

The Riot 2.0 is the Revolt's smaller sibling, built for hunters who walk in to their stands and want everything in one piece. The remote and the decoy both clip onto the caller body, so there's nothing loose to forget at the truck.

Lucky Duck lists 150 preloaded sounds (2,000 capacity) from the same Verminator library, a 3-speed motorized decoy, an LD2X remote with a 300+ yard range and backlit buttons, a tougher updated housing and a standard 1/4-20 tripod thread. It takes 10 AAs plus 3 for the remote, and Lucky Duck backs it with a 5-year warranty.

At $299.99 on October 9 it costs half as much as the Revolt 2.0 and still includes a decoy. What you give up is the rotating base and the Revolt's added tweeter.

Sounds	150 preloaded, 2,000 capacity
Remote	LD2X, 300+ yd, backlit, stores on caller
Decoy	3-speed motorized, included
Mounting	1/4-20 tripod insert
Power	10 AA caller, 3 AA remote (not included)
Warranty	5 years

Pros

+ Remote and decoy store on the unit
+ Decoy included under $300
+ Same sound library as the Revolt
+ 5-year warranty

Cons

− No rotating base
− Needs 13 AA batteries
− Only one owner review on Sportsman's so far

FOXPRO Prowler

Best FOXPRO for beginners

FOXPRO Prowler. Photo: Sportsman's Warehouse listing.

Sportsman's Warehouse: about $215 · Sounds: 75 included, holds 300 · Weight: 2 lb (FOXPRO)

FOXPRO describes the Prowler as an excellent call for beginners on a budget, and it's the least expensive FOXPRO electronic call in this guide. It's compact, with a single horn speaker and a 4-AA power supply.

FOXPRO lists 75 sounds included (and you can download more from its free sound library), room for 300, an external speaker jack and an auxiliary jack for a FOXPRO decoy such as the FoxJack 5 or X-Decoy, sold separately. The Sportsman's listing puts the TX433XL remote's operating distance at over 200 yards and lists 25 favorites. FOXPRO lists the weight as 2.00 lb, with a 3-year limited warranty, and it's made in the USA.

What you don't get: FOXBANG, FOXMOTION, FOXCAST and the other features on the X24, a second speaker or a decoy. At $214.99 on October 9, it's a simple, light call to learn on.

Sounds	75 included, 300 max
Remote	TX433XL, over 200 yd (listing)
Speaker	1 horn
Power	4 AA (not included), 3 to 7 hours
Weight	2.00 lb (FOXPRO)
Warranty	3 years, limited; made in USA

Pros

+ Lightest electronic call here
+ Runs on just 4 AAs
+ Decoy and external speaker jacks
+ FOXPRO sound library and support

Cons

− No decoy in the box
− None of FOXPRO's premium features

ICOtec 320+ Call/Decoy Combo

Best budget call and decoy combo

ICOtec 320+ Call/Decoy Combo. Photo: Sportsman's Warehouse listing.

Sportsman's Warehouse: about $180 (on sale from $199.99) · Sounds: 30 fixed · Remote: 300 yd

ICOtec says the 320+ improves on one of the most-sold models in electronic game calling, and it's the cheapest way in this guide to get a caller and a spinning decoy in one box. The trade-off is that its 30 sounds are fixed: you can't load new ones.

ICOtec lists a 300-yard remote, Bluetooth control up to 100 yards, the ability to play two sounds at once, backlit buttons for night hunting, a pause button, an external speaker port and tripod mounting. The AD400 decoy has adjustable speed and comes with two prey toppers. Batteries: 4 AA for the caller, 4 AA for the decoy and an A23 for the remote, all sold separately.

Sportsman's had it for $179.97 on October 9 (from $199.99). If you don't need the decoy, the ICOtec 300+ was $114.97 with 15 sounds and a decoy port. Owner ratings on Sportsman's are mixed so far (3.8 from 4 reviews).

Sounds	30 fixed (not programmable)
Remote	300 yd; Bluetooth up to 100 yd
Two sounds at once	Yes
Decoy	AD400 included, adjustable speed
Power	4 AA unit, 4 AA decoy, A23 remote

Western Rivers Mantis Pro 100

Best cheap electronic call

Western Rivers Mantis Pro 100. Photo: Sportsman's Warehouse listing.

Sportsman's Warehouse: about $110 · Sounds: 100 · Remote: up to 300 yd

If you want to find out whether e-calling is for you without spending $200, the Mantis Pro 100 gives you the most sounds per dollar in this guide. Western Rivers lists 100 permanent sounds stored in 32 MB of memory, a 4-inch reflex loudspeaker rated at 105 to 110 dB and a remote with a backlit screen and a range of up to 300 yards.

The remote docks in the body, the legs swivel to level the call, and there's a power jack and mount for a motorized decoy, sold separately. It runs on 8 AA batteries. The housing is ABS plastic.

At $109.99 on October 9, it's an honest starter. The listing calls the 100 sounds "permanent," so plan on that library being what you get.

Sounds	100 permanent
Speaker	4 in reflex, 105 to 110 dB
Remote	Backlit screen, up to 300 yd, docks in the body
Decoy	Power jack and mount (decoy sold separately)
Power	8 AA (not included)

Pros

+ Lowest price for an electronic call here
+ 100 sounds for about $110
+ 300-yard remote that docks in the body

FOXPRO Furtaker Hand Call Pack

Best hand-call kit (and the best backup)

FOXPRO Furtaker Hand Call Pack. Photo: Sportsman's Warehouse listing.

Sportsman's Warehouse: about $35 (on sale from $39.99) · Calls: 3 (closed reed, open reed, bite call)

Every e-caller hunter should carry a mouth call. Batteries die and remotes get dropped, and a mouth call lets you change your calling instantly. The Furtaker pack gives you FOXPRO's three most popular hand-call styles for less than a set of lithium batteries.

FOXPRO's listing describes each one: the Tantrum (closed reed) for jackrabbit, fawn and prey distress; the Kamikaze (bite call) for rabbit, bird and other distress sounds; and the 4K9 (open reed) for coyote vocalizations as well as prey distress. The tone boards have a raised ridge to help keep them from freezing, and the bells are soft and flexible.

Sportsman's had the three-pack for $34.97 on October 9, down from $39.99. FOXPRO describes all three as easy to use.

Tantrum	Closed reed: jackrabbit, fawn, prey distress
Kamikaze	Bite call: rabbit, bird, prey distress
4K9	Open reed: coyote vocals + prey distress
Cold weather	Raised tone-board ridge helps prevent freezing

Pros

+ Three call styles for about $35
+ No batteries, nothing to fail
+ Covers distress and coyote vocals
+ Perfect backup in any pack

Cons

− Takes practice to call well
− Your hands and face move when you call
− The sound comes from where you sit, not from a caller placed away from you

Which should you buy?

You want the best call and you hunt a lot: FOXPRO X24.
You want a decoy in the box without paying $600: ICOtec Outlaw+.
You like to aim sound around your setup without moving: Lucky Duck Revolt 2.0.
You walk in a long way and want a single package: Lucky Duck Riot 2.0.
You want a FOXPRO but you're just starting: FOXPRO Prowler.
You're on a budget and want a decoy: ICOtec 320+.
You just want to try e-calling: Western Rivers Mantis Pro 100.
You need a backup or your state limits e-calls: FOXPRO Furtaker hand calls.

What to look for in a predator call

Remote range you'll actually use. The remote only has to reach from you to the caller. Every remote here with a published range is rated 200 yards or more, though some owners report less in real use.
Sounds you can change. Programmable calls (FOXPRO, Lucky Duck, ICOtec Outlaw+) let you add sounds as you learn. Fixed-sound units (ICOtec 320+, and the Mantis Pro 100 per its listing) cost less but can't grow with you.
A decoy. A spinning decoy gives an approaching coyote something to look at besides you. The ICOtec and Lucky Duck kits include one; FOXPRO and Western Rivers sell them separately.
Batteries. AA-powered callers are easy to feed but heavy on batteries in the cold. The X24 ships with a rechargeable lithium pack and charger.
Night use. Backlit remote buttons and dim screens matter if your state allows night predator hunting. Pair the call with good glass: see our best thermal scopes and night vision goggles guides.
The rest of the kit. A call is one piece. Our 25 hunting essentials list covers the rest.

Check your state's rules first

Hunting laws are set by each state, and electronic calls aren't allowed everywhere or for every species. FOXPRO even keeps a state law finder on its own site, and it notes that the information is for reference only, not legal advice. Before you hunt with any e-caller, check your state wildlife agency's current regulations, including rules on night hunting and lights. Nothing in this guide is legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best predator call for coyotes?

For most hunters, the FOXPRO X24 (about $600 at Sportsman's Warehouse on October 9, 2026): 200 sounds included, a horn speaker plus tweeter, and a lithium battery and charger in the box. If you want a decoy included and want to spend less, the ICOtec Outlaw+ was about $400 the same day.

Is an electronic predator call better than a mouth call?

They do different jobs. An e-caller lets you put the sound away from you, play many realistic sounds and stay still. A mouth call is cheap, needs no batteries and lets you change your calling on the fly. Many hunters carry both, which is why we included the FOXPRO Furtaker pack.

Are electronic predator calls legal?

It depends on your state and the species you're hunting. Rules are set by each state's wildlife agency, so check current regulations before you hunt. FOXPRO keeps a state law finder on its website as a starting point, and says it isn't legal advice.

FOXPRO or ICOtec: which is better?

FOXPRO's X24 costs more and adds a rechargeable lithium battery, a tweeter and features like FOXBANG and FOXDATA, with a 5-year warranty. ICOtec's Outlaw+ costs less, includes a decoy and a 300-yard remote, and plays two sounds at once, but uses 18 AA batteries for the full kit. Pick FOXPRO for the best sound system and features, ICOtec for the most in the box per dollar.

What is The Verminator?

The Verminator is Rick Paillet, whose sound recordings make up the library on Lucky Duck's e-callers, according to Lucky Duck's listings. That's why searches for "Verminator predator calls" and "Lucky Duck predator call" are rising together.

How far should I put the caller from me?

Far enough that a coyote coming to the sound isn't looking straight at you, and with the wind in mind. Every remote in this guide with a published range is rated to 200 yards or more, so range is rarely the limit, though some owners report less than the rating.

What sounds should a beginner use?

Start simple: a rabbit or bird distress sound, played in short sequences with pauses, then a coyote vocal like a pup distress if nothing shows. Every e-caller here comes loaded with distress and coyote sounds, and the Furtaker hand-call pack covers both too.

How much should I spend on a predator call?

On October 9, 2026, electronic calls at Sportsman's Warehouse in this guide ran from about $110 (Western Rivers Mantis Pro 100) to about $600 (FOXPRO X24, Lucky Duck Revolt 2.0). Around $180 to $400 gets you a call and decoy combo from ICOtec or Lucky Duck.

The bottom line

Buy the FOXPRO X24 if you hunt predators often and want one call that won't hold you back. Buy the ICOtec Outlaw+ if you want a call, remote and decoy in one box for about $400. And if you're just getting started, the Mantis Pro 100 and a Furtaker hand-call pack will get you on stands for under $150 combined. Whatever you buy, learn a few sounds well, set up with the wind in your favor and check your state's rules first.
