Does anyone have suggestions for a good sound blasting devise? I want to find something with more power/volume than the usual electronic predator call.

Sound Blasting is one of those topics that not really much is known. I have talked to some predator callers and most agreee to play a call at max volume is not a good idea. Most will tell you to play whatever sound at a volume that is normal for that animal.

Now..there are a few times they will get the volume up but only for a few calls. Always start out at a normal volume. If no action..they will up the volume to get the sound farther out  there. They will then turn it back down to normal. They just want to get the attention of whatever they are calling that may be just out of normal volume range ..with the hopes that the preditor will head that way.

I have read NO real results in Blasting at a high volume and I tend to believe that it is a negative thing to do. At night the sound will carry a lot farther than you might think and the more natural it sounds..the better.
Most of the game callers that I have heard or not that great..as for the quality of sound that they produce. They are made to be portable and duriable and weather resistance and that takes away from the sound making ability. Also..the sound may sound different at a distance ..different than it sounds up close.
I am sure others have input on this and welcome all to post. I will look for some of the websites that have some info on this and post them later.

Here is what I was looking for:

http://www.hunterspec.com/Updateable/update_display.cfm?pageID=1207&categoryID=12

I believe this is good advice for Bigfoot calling also:

Hunters make mistakes when calling predators of using too much volume in their electronic players or blowing their mouth calls too loudly. Instead, hunters should start out with low volume first for those predators that may be within the immediate vicinity. Allow those animals 3 to 4 minutes to get to you before you turn the volume up to reach the animals that may be further away. I think more times than we care to admit, we probably scare predators with high-volume calls, and we'll be more successful at taking them if we use low volume first.

I hope this helps.
