brass & balls

[si brown 8,486]

follow this section quite a lot as I enjoy reading about what you all get upto on your foxing sessions!!

I put off putting myself out there regarding foxing as I like me bed and am not to keen on nightshifts with starting work early...

been out a few times with a mate lately though but only used the 12's as we generally get into the black stuff as the sun rises!

I won't get into the perm situation as its not mine and I get invited, all ill say is it gets poached quite a bit and the potshot possy are shite and the foxes have wised up hence the 

hiding ambush approach!

so I've been hitting YouTube hard for nightshift motivation and ideas, this is where I saw these callers. 

 

so being a Yorkshire man I thought I can make that and it'll cost pennies...

had to go into town with the kids this morning so I picked up two packs of squeaky dog balls for £2

and plenty of 223 brass at home 

so I pulled the squeak out of the toys and drilled out the primer end and bobs your noisy uncle...

not sure if they'll work as I could of done with bigger cartridges really ill get some off me mate later!

so I'm meeting my mate this evening about 7pm as the farmers seen a few lurking about before dark...

not sure if there more confident during those hours as the visitors will turn up after dark... 

they might be wise to a few things but I bet they've never heard a racket like me with this contraption 

no 12 tonight or night shift

I think they are excellent, even if they don’t work very good, it’s something I would like.

let me know if you get a few made and have a couple spare.
