Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Oldskool; The mouthpiece was similar, mate. Wide split with a reed inside. Only mine had a turned wooden body of a (rather attractive, actually) golden brown wood. Not a very big thing. Fact is, I'd buy another today and relive the experiance myself. Only there's simply no bloody rabbits for miles around here Myxie, so I'm told, decimated them, back in the nineties. Mink and - presumably? - marten have just never given them a chance to get back since. I could probably sit out there, sqeeling till I was blue in the face. Mind you! ..... Wonder what might happen if I did that, rifle to hand, down by the Styx? I reckon a mink might well show itself to such a call! Now I'm getting ideas in my head! Nice one!

Nice one! first surround yourself with traps of various type and size (tom and jerry style) sit there with rifle and shotty with snares hanging of your elbows and a leash of dogs in your mouth , then blow your call by sticking it up your ....nose , i bet you get a mink by xmas :rap: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 .......... i bet you get a mink by xmas :rap: Ye vicious b*stard! Tell ye what, mate; I woke up in a cold sweat just the other day. I'd been having these visions of checking some Juby Traps and finding a ferret sized Pine Marten kit in one! Naah. Think I'll just wait untill I can satisfy myself with my own COTHPM estimations Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Wasn't there a Norfolk poacher called Kenzie that used this technique for calling hares... apparently he could call them close enought to shoot with a 410. Yep Kenzie Thorpe, The Warrener can do it too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nell 1 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Wasn't there a Norfolk poacher called Kenzie that used this technique for calling hares... apparently he could call them close enought to shoot with a 410. When out sqeaking foxes with an old friend of mine, we get a lot of hare in close from time to time, never a rabbit though, they just run the other way!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest oldskool Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 finished work early today and just got the notion for a wander about... i startled a few bunnys to ground and i remembered this thread and thought i would have a crack at it... Well, fook me, there was about 4 of them came out and ths one came within about 10yards... there i was, standin in blue jeans and a white t-shirt stinkin of B.O and in they come... made me wonder about all these air rifle shooting videos that sponser the likes of realtree camo for air rifling... without blowing my own trumpet, my rabbit squealing technique is coming on a treat sorry for the crap pic... it was taken with the camera phone but i swear i could have nearly threw my t-shirt on him lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mooster 1 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Very interesting thread .Like others i've "squeaked"foxes towards the barrell before but never a coney. If I may change the subject very slightly....I remember as a kid stalking rabbits one easter morning and became invisible. The early morning sunrise was dazzling them from behind me and with the wind in the right direction i remained undetectable. I had no gun in those days. Probably old news for more experienced rabbiters but something else for those new to field craft to consider so thought I would add it on this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was standing there, in plain and open view of the buggers, and they were quite simply fasinated by me - or rather, the sounds coming from me. I've never forgotten that experiance. See?! And now, no doubt, niether will you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

T.F.Student 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Walking through a wood years ago i saw a stoat cross in front of me...i ran quietly to where he'd disapeared, i crouched on top of the bank behind a tree and begun squeeking...Nothing.... i waited a bit and still nothing...i carried on squeaking and saw a rabbit coming hell for leather towards me...I thought the stoat must be on it... it stopped and stood on its back legs and was looking in my direction...it then set off towards me again...about fifteen yards off with no stoat following i shot it...Took it back with me and told the headkeeper what had happened...Was it a male...it was....Aye wrong call he said...you did the hey rabbit i'm shagging your mrs call Edited June 12, 2007 by T.F.Student Quote Link to post Share on other sites
