Thread: Mp3 Player with Speaker for Animal Calls

Hi all. I found some MP3 turkey calls on a old external hard drive so I though I'd transfer them over to my phone to use while turkey hunting but the phone's speaker is piss weak. Does anyone know a good light affordable mp3 player with speaker or bluetooth speaker to play turkeys calls with that can be heard across a paddock? thanks

Any weather resistant, reasonably loud bluetooth speaker connected to a phone would work. I did this for duck shooting. It worked well, but it was a hassle and I relented and bought an AJ Caller in the end.

I’ve used a little a little JBL, think it’s called a clip.
It’s not super loud, but 10 x a ph speaker, and it’s small/flat.

First time I used it, I was sitting just a meter behind and above my mate. I hadn’t told him I had it.
It was nice still evening on an alpine ridge above a beech valley, and I decided to give it a go, I’ve got some app with heaps of calls, volume up to max, selected red deer roar. Pushed play.

Fark it was funny, he jumped up with a horrified look on his face, and nearly fell down the hill.
He thought we were about to be charged ����

Wasn’t until the next day before he saw the funny side.

This is how I got my first stag, hunting with a forum member in a Molesworth block who uses the same setup, JBL clip and a phone. A lot of the apps with deer calls have gone from the Andriod app store apart from ones from America.

On a low tech side I've heard of using a transistor radio for sika. Just leave in a clearing with some quiet static going then take cover and wait for the curiosity to get the better of the deer. No idea if this works or not.

I use the Ihunt by Ruger for turkey, deer and moose.
drop it in the decoys set a playlist on your phone

Very effective for foxes, they come right up to it.
JBL CLIP 6
I use it in car as well better sound than my car shitty speakers. There is online libraries of sounds BTW, quite a few is free
JBL 6 is semi weatherproof , ok in light rain, won't take it swimming though

Yep , the JBL's as mentioned go good when paired with the ihunt app. Have been using that style set up over here in AUs for the last few years. I personally run the flip 5 speaker ( flip 6 is the new version). Has heaps of power for good strong calls when needed, and with the built in bass tube it gives a good throaty call. My mate puts his Graff boys caller away when i bring the jbl. and even better , the ihunt app has all the graff calls on it for the reds, with a few better ones too . Happy hunting

oh yeah, as a added bonus you can place them up to about 20 meters away from phone, shooting position, just like a 2 man call in set up

Not sure if that's still around, it isn't for Android. I tried contacting the app creator with no luck.
