arveyboy 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 as it says on the title, does anyone have any tips for getting lamp shy foxes. im heading out with the keeper this evening before dark to sit out for one because theyre all lampshy at the moment. would different filters do the trick? cheers, jack Quote Link to post
scarecrow243 24 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi try a red filter if you have already the best thing to do is shoot a couple of bunnies and gut them spreading blood etc on the ground and go back 100yds or more and start calling and let the fox start feeding then shoot Quote Link to post
Guest fence_hopper Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) i'm into real hunting, so when i see a fox on the lamp i call it and if it doesnt come in close enough i slip the dogs anyway or start screeming at it dazzling it with the lamp to make them shy coz theres hardly nothing left with theses rifles lol Edited September 10, 2009 by fence_hopper Quote Link to post

jamie g 17 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 what filter do you use now mate amber is good. red does take a fair amount of beam off the lamp. Quote Link to post

landrover 6 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 amber is definately better than the red,out our way,plus as jamie says you have more of a beam Quote Link to post
jamie g 17 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 amber is definately better than the red,out our way,plus as jamie says you have more of a beam yes mate amber is very good. i get these different films off my mate in red,orange,blue,pink. there good because i can change over but also buteer then the proper fillters as there not thick there thin film. so it lets more light out. but not to much to scare foxes Quote Link to post
arveyboy 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 hi jamie im not using a filter at the moment just white light. ill get a piece of film over the lamp. however got a mate coming over tonight going lamping bunnies and even they are starting to run in the lamp so his amber lamp might do the trick.

halloween man 12 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 interested in these sheets how thick are they and how much Quote Link to post
jamie g 17 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 interested in these sheets how thick are they and how much hi mate i havent got any here to check there at home but. there not very thick but storng. i cut round just abit bigger then lamp. then i fit it to lamp and cut snips in them so i can bend the sides over the lamp and then its easy to tap on. then it says nice and smooth on the lamp front with out any creases Quote Link to post
