Real sounds

Why if your spending quite a few bucks would you buy a caller with sounds of people using calls? I don't care what kinda champion caller they are there's no way anyone can compete with the real thing if I'm wrong here tell me

Tom.... I do better with my mouth calling then I do with electronics... I will use electronics because they have a lighted decoy now and if I hunt by myself I want the coyotes to hone in on the ICOtec GC 500 sound and the decoy...So many times I have called in zero with the electronics but as soon as the bulb squeaker and or the mouth call was used in came the fox... However I have taken my own sounds and placed them on my FX5, ICOtec GC 500, and even the FP Model 38.  I used a mic and loaded the sound to the computer. Then transferred it to the caller...Tonight I programed my brother ICOtec with 65 sounds.  Some of them are me calling and doing some of my favorite sounds... UB Special, UB Woodpecker, UB fieldmice, UB Pup KIYI, I also have Randy Anderson,  and Dennis kirk using an open reed call. Now the kirk sound is a magnet.. Just say I had a cold sore... so that would be a time when my calling on the electronics would be ok for me...Or if you had a sore throat.. However give me an old Crit-R-Call Peewee, Standard, Song Dopg Jr, and or Magnum Crit R Call and I will make those babies sing.   However that is a good question you brought up...

Like mentioned in another post,  if everyone is using the same sounds,  most likely the predators have already heard it.  Sometimes it takes that "different " sound to bring them in.  I call in a lot of critters on distress sounds that aren't even native to this area.

I've said it before numerous times,   I firmly believe most critters are called in due to curiosity and not so much hunger.  By using a mouth call,  you can create that unusual distress sound that they haven't heard before, and it peaks their interest enough for them to respond in to check that unusual sound out.
