philip140 6 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 i use the same method, i took the small white squeaker out of a dog toy and inserted into some aluminium tube 2'' long with a 6mm internal diameter, then using brass ball chain (like the one used in bathrooms to hold onto plugs) i drilled holes in the tube near the end and inserted the chain to put round my neck. other than being able to call in foxes i can call in birds of prey and best of all rabbits! for some reason rabbits are mesmerized by the squeak and i can walk right up to about 15 yds quite normally without them moving, but when i stop squeaking they run, but stop again if i squeak! i discovered this 2 days before i left the uk for canada and wish i knew before. i even got a group run towards me from about 50 yds to 20 whilst i was sitting down! i have read before that rabbits are naturally curious of the sound another makes in distress, but i never knew how much!

Guest GoneToGround1 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 i used this method in the past it sounds different if you suck the squeeker or blow it.....then if you turn it round and do the same the otherside its different again, sometimes iv seen it not work after 10 mins then a mate use his hand and squeek an they come in, but i caught a good few with your way of doing it but now im back to the old trusty hand Quote Link to post
