Abstract
A came call and/or monitoring apparatus is disclosed that includes a handheld central unit and one or more remote modules. The central unit includes a user input and a display screen, and communicates with the remote module(s). Each remote module is capable of generating a game call, taking an image, or executing some other function related to the hunting and monitoring of wildlife. The remote module may further be capable of communicating back to the central unit.
