The Western Rivers Mantis 25 Electronic Game Call delivers professional-grade predator calling performance in a compact, field-ready package. This electronic caller features 25 pre-programmed sounds specifically selected to attract coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and other predators across diverse hunting conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic mouth calls that require constant practice and perfect technique, the Mantis 25 provides consistent, high-quality sound reproduction every time. The digital sound library includes distress calls, mating sounds, and territorial vocalizations recorded from actual animals. Volume control allows precise adjustment from subtle close-range calling to long-distance broadcasts that carry over 400 yards in optimal conditions.
Key Features
- 25 digitally mastered predator and prey sounds including rabbit distress, coyote howls, and bird calls
- Compact brown plastic housing measures approximately 4.5" x 3" x 2" for easy concealment
- Variable volume control with range up to 400+ yards
- External speaker jack for remote speaker placement

Field testing demonstrates reliable operation in temperatures from 10°F to 100°F with clear sound reproduction even in windy conditions. The timer function prevents the overcalling mistakes that commonly spook educated predators. Battery life extends through multiple hunting sessions, while the external speaker option allows hunters to position the sound source away from their shooting position for improved success rates.
