The best call on a calm night is the small mouse squeek ones you can buy from acme (i think).

Really capture their inquisitive nature and draws them in closer than anything else ive tried.

 

 

Common misconception is that louder is better, which is nonsense.

Some of the electric calls are good though.

I wish someone would tell my mate!

 

It's like a fecking mobile disco when you got out with him!

 

Cranks it right up, I tried telling him it would be an animal the size of an aircraft carrier that made that much noise but I think he's gone deaf .........

cap off an old steam kettle ,a little loud at first to get him looking up and very soft blows once he coming in.

try diff things on diff land ,not all foxes react the same.

tenterfield caller!!

Anyone know where to purchase the Tenterfield fox whistle. Any links

Get yourself a 'Wam rabbit squealer' Without a doubt the most effective call i have found for foxes.

Yeah i had a widgeon whistle but couldnt call a thing in on my land. But tried a Wam whistle and near enough had a fox trying to jump in the truck with me. But like you say, different types of call work in different areas. There isnt a one stop shop call for all foxes sadly.

I reckon, it has a lot to do with what the fox would have heard before, like in an area that only has hares, then a hare distress call works well, but if its in an area that only holds rabbits then a rabbit call will work better. Some foxes react well to rat and mice squeeks. Another fox might come in for a mating call. I have used electronic callers, but have found they tend to scare the fox away. I find making the sound manually works much better. I usually whistle between my teeth for rabbit sound, squeek my lips for rat sounds, or squeek on my hand for hare. Usually the main reason the fox runs away, is because I wasnt vigilant enough in disguising myself, or they scented me from afar.

I use two methods if your running solo twisting one of your nipples produces a high picthed scream similar to a dying rabbit. If you prefer doubling up a good boot in the baws has a similar effect. Happy hunting!

i use the wham whistle and squeak with hand but ive found recently i tryed replicating a young polt / chick the chirp noise only about 3 or 4 chirps then stop and chirp again mates all took the piss till i brought 1 in when it ignored all the other usual methods has worked twice now once for me and once for my mate.

i either catch a rabbit or hare depending on what the land holds the dog brings it back alive,i keep it in my pocket alive and bite its ear when i see a fox that makes it squeel .that works everytime
