bullmastiff 615 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Have to agree with DanW. I usually had to hunt on my own and I found using my hand was awkward and sometimes messy (depending on what was on your hands at the time). Holding back a dog that had seen the eyes light up across the field, trying to keep the lamp from swinging about the field and also trying to squeak on your hand was never easy. Plus after a long night out I found my cheeks/lips could start to hurt! Using your hand is definitely something to practice as you'll always be able to do it whenever needed. Some people seem to be able to get the most amazing sounds with just their hands and can alter the pitch and loudness to cover every situation. I've tried a WAM and found this pretty good for long distance stopping foxes for a shot or close range calling to get them within shotgun range. I've been using a foxcalluk for a year or two now and found it to be excellent. Pop it between you teeth and it can, if needed, sit there quite comfy for ages and both hands are free to work. When I first got it I found I had to bite down really hard to get a decent rabbit squeak from it. When the screws on one end were loosened off a bit it was a lot easier to use and made much better sounds. 3 Quote Link to post

I am just back in now and would have been lost without my tenterfield whistle, sits in my mouth and am free to work lamp and dog, I am using the foxcalleruk also, yeah its good enough, has a nice pitch to it. Called up a few tonight but fuckers were on the ball, got one good slip, and few rabbits in the bag, would have put up some pics but left me camera in Dannys other night. Quote Link to post
