🐺🦃 Mantis Pro 100 Electronic Game Call (Western Rivers)

This is a big step up from the Mantis 25 you asked about earlier. I’ll break it down simple and straight so you know exactly what it does.

🎯 What it is

• A full electronic caller with remote

• Designed for predators (coyote, fox) and turkey, deer, etc.

• Plays real animal sounds from a distance

👉 Think: set it out away from you, control everything from your seat

⚙️ Key Specs

🔊 Sound / Performance

• 100 preloaded sounds

• Includes:

  • Turkey calls

  • Coyote distress/howls

  • Rabbit distress

  • Deer, elk, birds, etc.

• 4” loudspeaker

• Volume: ~105–110 dB (LOUD)

👉 Way louder than small handheld calls

🎮 Remote Control (big feature)

• Remote range: up to 300 yards

• Backlit screen (easy at dawn/dusk)

• Full control:

  • Change sounds

  • Adjust volume

  • Mute / pause

  • Run sequences

👉 This is what makes it legit for predator hunting

🧠 Smart Features

• Random repeat (sounds realistic)

• Sound trigger button (quick play)

• Can run hands-free calling sessions

🔌 Power

• Uses 8 AA batteries

• Remote also uses batteries

🧱 Build / Setup

• Compact, rugged plastic (ABS)

• Swivel legs → set on ground

• Decoy connection port (you can add a spinning decoy)

👍 Pros

• Tons of sounds (100)

• Loud enough for big fields

• Remote lets you pull animals away from you

• Works for multiple species

• Easy to use (no skill needed)

👎 Cons

• Not as realistic as top-end $300+ callers

• Build quality is “decent,” not heavy-duty

• Battery life depends on volume use

• No app / Bluetooth (older-style remote system)

🦌🦃 Best Use (important)

✅ For predators (BEST use)

• Coyotes, fox, bobcat

• Set it 30–80 yards away

• Call them into shooting lane

👉 This is where it shines

⚠️ For turkey

• It DOES have turkey sounds

• BUT:

➡️ Electronic calls are illegal for turkey hunting in many states

👉 You absolutely need to check Michigan regs before using it

🔥 Simple Field Setup (works great)

1. Put caller:

   • 40 yards out

   • Slightly upwind

2. Sit downwind of it

3. Use remote:

   • Start low volume

   • Increase gradually

4. Let animals focus on the sound (not you)

⚡ Bottom Line

👉 Mantis Pro 100 = legit budget remote caller

• ✅ Great for predator hunting

• ✅ Much better than Mantis 25

• ✅ Loud + remote = real advantage

But:

• ❌ Still “mid-tier” (not pro-grade FoxPro level)

• ❌ Check laws before using on turkey
