I have to ask... did ya shoot it? I know a guy that hangs out at a local gun shop that has killed two ecallers when coyotes did a close fly by of the caller. This old guy uses a shotgun and gets excited with the result of a caller taking some No. Four Buckshot hits.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I'd call FoxPro. Their customer service is A-plus, and they've helped me out several times.

I’ve owned a CS24c for several years. Had a Firestorm before that. Great callers.

If you have a electronic repair shop nearby let them have a look if foxpro won’t repair it. Lots of cell phone repair shop type places now and in my experience they are mostly fairly good at it
The one local to me has fixed all kinds of stuff for me on the cheap! So it should be worth a shot

Call FoxPro. Mine died about two weeks ago, so I sent it in to them. I got it back 7 days later and good as new! The battery tray was bad. I'm hunting tonight!

I’ve gotta get a caller. Coyotes are rampant this year.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

FoxPros services are very good, had my call repaired in a week, I was prepared to get another because it caught fire thanks to my son trying to charge with a laptop cable, lol.

I have a Foxpro Fusion, I like how compact it is and has great sound with a great remote. Good luck!

Just like Benbow, my FoxPro died too - for no apparent reason.
It turned out the batteries had leaked just a tiny bit, and corroded a couple of the terminals in the battery box.
I made a solution of baking soda in water, and with a Q-tip wet with the solution, cleaned off the terminals, and let them soak a bit with a drop of solution on them. Then use the Q-tip with plain water to get rid of the solution, and then a dry Q-tip to dry everything off.
That fixed it! Now it works perfectly.

FoxPro has always had a weak electric setup IME but at least they have good CS. I try to baby them but seems I'm sending mine in every other year.

Lots of folks seem to like Lucky Duck. I'm considering giving one a try, but need a bit more research/testimonials.
