The Western Rivers GC50 Mantis 50 delivers professional-grade electronic calling performance in a compact, weatherproof package. This predator call features 50 high-definition animal sounds designed to attract coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and other game at distances up to 300 yards.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic mouth calls that require practice and breath control, the GC50 Mantis provides consistent volume and tone reproduction through its integrated 10-watt amplifier. The unit stores sounds in digital format rather than analog, eliminating the distortion and battery drain common in older electronic calls. Sound quality remains crisp even at maximum volume levels.
Key Features
- 50 pre-programmed animal sounds including rabbit distress, fawn bleats, and bird calls
- 10-watt amplifier projects calls up to 300 yards in open terrain
- Brown polymer housing resists impact damage and weather exposure
- External speaker jack allows connection to remote speakers for extended range

Field testing demonstrates effective predator response at ranges exceeding 200 yards in typical hunting conditions. The unit maintains consistent performance in temperatures from -10°F to 120°F, making it suitable for year-round predator hunting. Sound clarity remains excellent even when operating near maximum volume, reducing the hollow or tinny quality that compromises cheaper electronic calls.
