A Foxpro Hellcat Pro Question

[ncognet0]

I am going to order a new FP and was weighing between an x24 and a hellcat pro. Due to weight Im going for the lighter weight model. My question is I know that this has a lithium battery back and last about 7 hours on a charge. Can I use regular batteries in this unit as well as the rechargeable lithiums?

I think you can but you will need the battery cradle for that model, I don't know if it comes with one or you have to buy separate.

I agree that the x24 is by far the better call. I do alot of backing into the back country for elk and like the idea of the lighter and smaller call. The better x24 looks huge to me.

The Hellcat Pro is a good little caller, my neighbor has one and it works great has all the volume needed for calling here in PA, I know some will say it does not the volume they like but do you think they will come in from 10 miles away.

Good question on the batteries, I have a HellCat pro and when I bought it I just went ahead and also ordered an extra battery pack for a back up just in case I needed it out in the field but I never have yet, I love the call and it is extremely light and sounds very good. My partner has an X-24 and a lucky duck but 9 out of 10 times we are using the HellCat Pro.not necessarily because it's that much better just because it's so light and easier to pack into stands.. Bottom line is you just have to get one you're going to be happy with. My main reasons for getting the HellCat Pro were price at the time I bought it, it being so lightweight and I knew it would do more than I needed it to here in North West Pa. Good luck to you I'm sure which ever way you decide to go you will be happy with either call.

Thanks for the answer. I do alot of guiding and have to hike way in the backcountry. So I liked the louder and smaller hellcat pro.
