Good deal! It is hard to beat those Minaska callers. If anything goes wrong just call Minaska and they will fix you up good. I have the Bandit and really enjoy it.

Somewhere21,
I've had an M1 for a couple of seasons and really like it. I did a lot of research at the time and for my purpose the M1 had the combination of features that I wanted. Each of the major e-callers seems to have some feature that is better than its competitors. All of them work. Minaska suited me best.
You got a great deal there. I upgraded mine during the summer when I wasn't calling and Minaska has been great to deal with. I'd like to hunt with those boys. Good luck with it.

yeah, went out yesterday with it. I like how easy it is to input sounds into the remote. I'm getting alittle discouraged though. Just want to see something come into range.

the thing is i've probably educated the one near my house. I'm pretty sure i know where their denning up. However how active are they now that they have already mated. I wear a face net camo jacket, camo gloves, brown carharts and try to play the wind right. I find it really hard around here though to play the wind right and have the best place to watch them circle to the call. How far do they usually try to get downwind.

they will circle as far as they feel comfortable.
We have been having the same problems. We know where a couple of family groups are and always get a vocal response. but rarely see fur!
