2) New battery lid with 1/4-20 bolt with metal retaining nut with female threaded end so you can still use tripod if needed.

Sounds are the reason I went with the roughneck. Everyone always mentions foxpro when they kill a yote, they are sold everywhere. I’d be interested in a battery door as well.
And this is just my personal opinion hunting with Fox pro for about 3 1/2 to 4 years and switching over to lucky duck was a breath of fresh air. it's just a better call better sound and has for me and a lot of my friends a lot more success with lucky duck they've all switched to lucky duck.The sound is so realistic it's amazing.
I’ve been using a wildfire with the fox jack decoy for about 10 years, it’s been great but my cal finally made its final call. Moving on to Lucky Duck and looking forward to it.
Fox pro all the way for me
I run MTK X2S and love it. Solid quality. Wish Rick P's sounds worked on it. I would run a roughneck if Lucky Duck was American made and better build quality.
Icotec gets no love but the outlaw and nightstalker are great calls too
I have lost the cover off the Shockwave a couple of times and had to back track as well! It's never fun during a contest. Foxbang is pointless unless you want to blow a set. Foxcast is not needed, unless you're into statistical analysis...I probably wouldn't want to hunt with you. Lucky duck units feel pretty cheaply made. The remotes are disappointing and the speakers do not last. I send my Foxpro's in for speaker checks annually to ensure I am ready for contest season. I still have and run an old Foxpro Spitfire that gets serviced just like my Shockwave. Edit Categories is a pain because you cannot shift them once they are in the category from the downloaded list. I like the Foxpro Shockwave; however, the X2S beats the Shockwave and Lucky Duck products.
Love Love Love my lucky duck Revolt. Ironically I hated the power light and blacked it out. If a coyote sees that it could hang them up. My buddy was walking to a stand ahead of me and it stood out like a sore thumb. If I could I would have it on the bottom. Then it would not be noticeable to animals or look like blood on snow. All the other features are awesome! 360 rotate and decoy tail on too are awesome.
I have a roughneck and the x2s. Both great calls but if I could only keep one without hesitation I’d keep the x2s. Far superior remote, better range, sound is amazing, comes with lithium battery and charger. Fox fusion is amazing, and fox pitch is handy occasionally as well. Love the foldable stand to elevate it of the ground. Volume is every bit as good as the duck and with mfk on board recording live animal sounds foxpro is where it’s at.
I have an x2s and love it. Had a roughneck that I sold but loved the sounds so much I picked another one up. Plan on using it on public or areas I've already hit where people are using foxpros
My first caller was the johnny stewart speaker with a 20 foot cable and it looks a lot like the Lucky duck without the cassette tape box. That thing was the loudest ive ever heard. That wasnt very long ago. Very early 2000s.
I have that same issue with my battery pack cover on my roughneck. Had to back track a few times to go find the cover.
Sounds like it is an issue with the call and not just me. If you would be interested in purchasing a new door that attaches via the tripod mount, let us know. If we get enough users interested, we will pursuit producing these.
@@MoonlightinOutdoors I would definitely be interested
Send me an email at drramsey@gmail.com and we'll discuss the battery lid.
I literally own them all , been calling for almost 40 years , I love ricks sounds , and I have killed so many dogs and cats with both brands , they all have there pros and cons , I grew up on fox pro obviously but the verminator aka Rick his coyote vocals give me chills , but for me durability is key I make 4-500 stands per year , battery life goes downhill with both , however I’ve yelled at my revolution more than any call I have ever owned , it simply devours batteries , especially the old remote style , glad to see they completely redesigned, the new remotes however I easily memorized the old lucky duck remotes , but night hunting was a bit irritating at times , the new rubber coating on the lucky ducks , I’m loving the new x wave , and time will tell on this unit , with that all said and done my advice to guys using electronics is , do not go ta any stand without a mouth call around your neck , cause your gonna need it 💪
Go with the Lucky Duck. Even though the equipment may not be 100% American made the company is as home grown as they come. I used to work with Rick Paillet at the John Deere/Napa store, in Kansas, when he and I were in our early 20's. He and his family (Wife, Dad, Mom, and brother were able to take their hunting passion and turn it into a reputable business. Kinda a duck dynasty story without the TV hype. I have always respected Rick and family for having such a strong work ethic yet being so laid back. There is no question that if you have a problem it will be taken care of. Per the video all in all the calls are pretty much equal. So support the underdog and get the unique sounds that the predator's are not familiar with.
Thanks Dennis! Valid point!
Yeah home grown supporting Communist China 🤣🤣🤣!
The only reason to ever buy FoxPro is to get the MFK sounds. Fox Pro has excellent customer service, but everything I have bought from them has had problems. Three calls to carry bags and a decoy.
I know they have deals but I would love to put the MFK sound library on my roughneck. You would have everything you would ever need with Rick and Tory on an e call.
Roughneck all the way it’s affordable the new xwave here in Canada is $1100 the shockwave is almost $800 the revolt is $400 ya it may not be made in America but ricks sounds are next to none
Battery pack lid always comes out on Roughneck, have a tripod that keeps it from falling out.
Appreciate the honest review. I will be calling the people you recommended. Already emailed Rick from Verminator and love to get the name of the guy that did your straps. Thank you.
Coty Woods (574) 249-1428 made these particular lanyards.
Ive got tje revolt and i got tired of buying batteries for mine so i put a Milwaukee adapter on mine. Now i know exactly how much battery life i have on it
I run mine on 36-38 sometimes 40 I kill a lot of coyotes ,Zack’s got my shockwave I use x2s or xwave or outlaw or LD Revolution I run them all pretty much wide open
Came over to check you out from Hunt Ready.
Thanks!!
While this was very helpful and answered alot of questions I had, at the same time it did the opposite now I'm more in the air on which I want lol
I have both and still have a hard time deciding which one to take when I go calling. If you get a foxpro you’ll need to get some of Mfk’s sounds.
You need to use the FOXPRO X24 or X2s when comparing to the Roughneck.
great video.. ps if you want your roughneckj to spin like the revolt , let me know. ill send a video if you tell me where
What distance can you get on both callers with the remotes?
I’m in search of a call myself.. How do these compare to the isotec outlaw? Or should I forget about the isotec all together??
Also what is the difference between the foxpro hammerjack & hammerjack 2?
Thanks 🙏

Lucky duck has other calls that might fit your budget. Check them out give them a call.
And your favorite part about the roughneck is the remote. I hate the ld3x. Toggle in the middle is to raised and the remote is to thick. I actually prefer the little cheap rc car remote with the original lucky duck. Fit in hand better
The last good call foxpro made was the CS24B. The CS24C with the plastic horn, limiting amp, and TX1000 remote ruined it for us. All the options on the TX1000 are completely unnecessary. All a call needs to do is play the sounds you want it to.
The early lucky duck stuff had plenty of issues, but the roughneck is a solid caller. I still don't like the remote on it due to the wobbly pause button. I like things to be simple and just work when the buttons are pressed. The rotations and tripods are also unnecessary. The roughneck is a good step in the right direction for lucky duck.
In my opinion the new X2s and X24 callers are the best callers FOXPRO has ever put out.
@@mejeremyb They're the best #nuffsaid huh? Where are your facts? Jesus, I dislike boot lickers. Tell us all why they are the best. Shit, just tell me why. I'm sure your coyote hunting achievements far outshine mine......#comeonnow
@@mattstewart2750 I was just making a comment that I thought might be helpful. No need to get your skiddy nickers in a twist. Not really sure why you think I'm a boot licker though?? Sorry to bother you. Didn't realize you have anger issues.
@@mattstewart2750 to answer your question though. They use the TX-1000 remote and have excellent sound quality. Both units have great volume. The X2s has FoxFusion, FoxPitch, FoxMotion, and Bluetooth. The X24 plays back in true 24 bit format.
@@mejeremyb If you're going to post an opinion online, provide a reason or three for your position. I'm sorry you don't understand how not to boot lick.
My ROUGHNECK SPINS LIKE THE REVOLT
I’m sure everyone owning a lucky duck roughneck would purchase a battery cover 100% make them available for purchase 👍👍
Jacob - Thanks for the comment. I hadn't talked to anyone else with a Roughneck to see if they had this issue. Sounds like it may be a widespread problem. If so, I can knock some of these covers out to help out!
110% on selling the covers put me down for pre order 🙋🏻♂️
Send me an email at drramsey@gmail.com and we'll discuss the battery lid.
@@MoonlightinOutdoors email sent my email is jacobcooper42@yahoo.com I’m not sure if it went threw or not.
Does it go to 11? Spinal tap.
what kind of bipod and were can i get one thanks
Fox pro won’t handle falling off the truck bed😢
Battery lid does suck but I just put a piece of duck tape over it
If you were to put a tripod on the roughneck, would that hold the battery cover?
I haven't tried that, but with a big enough washer there, I'm sure it would.
What type of lanyard do you have attached to the lucky duck remote and on the back of the roughneck?
Coty Woods made these. His link is in the video description. Thanks!
Hey guys great review. I’m interested in upgrading my caller and these are 2 of the three I have narrowed my list down too. Did you guys mention how long you have been running each of theses calls? If so I missed it and I am curious how long.
Justin has been running the FP for a couple years now and I've been using the LD for about 1 year.
Go with the Lucky Duck. Even though the equipment may not be 100% American made the company is as home grown as they come.

@@dennisholle1005 I would need a better reason to buy, rather than I used to work with him....
@@dennisholle1005 it’s a well known fact that Rick Paillet has coyotes held captive and where he gets his sound files from which is ok but….. I enjoy watching LD videos but I’m running a FP
I need info for lanyards
Great video. I am wanting to know if you guys know anything about the X24 fox pro. I’ve heard good things about it what do you guys think about it and comparing it to the calls you have
If you want 1 call thats versatile get the x24. Best 1 they make altogether imo
Put a piece of sports tape on the door
Battey life far better with lucky duck.
i think foxpro s remotes are junk
