seeing as today was my last day of hols it was a good time to go hunting. my main aim of the hunt was to shoot another fox and hopefully whistle some up. on the way out to the property we spotted 4 nearly killing 2 so i had in mind it was going to be a top day.
justin (hoyt trykon) was out at my property a few days ago and shot a few billies so i was first off to check them to see if any foxes were a bit peckish. none were spotted and after an hour of whistling at different spots nothing came up. we decided to go for a drive to see what we could find. we found a mob of goats only 100yards away and so decided to check them out. i had already passed up a few mobs of goats without even checking to see if there was anything big in the mob which i now regret. anyway i played around with the goats for a bit but there was nothing huge and to hot to get any meat. we drove around again and stopped at many places for a whistle but nothing came up. it was a good day but this fox thing is harder than i thought lol.
does anyone have any experience with the scotch predator calls, are they any good. thanks

oh and a few pics

The only thing I know about calling foxes is that at times it can be very frustrating.

LIKE MY LAST 10 TRIPS. :mad:

The only thing I have managed to attract lately has been curious livestock? :o

I've been using the predator call for a few years and always take it with me. I use a release aid, so the method i use is to tie a piece of string about a metre long onto the bellows, this way i can stand on the bellows and use the string while i have my release aid hooked on my string loop. If you're hunting by yourself i've found this the method that works best for me.

Scotch preditor calls are good specially if the foxes are used to the old tinny, the scotch preditor caller is a lot lounder and make many various pitches, if they are used to the rabbit call by the tin whistle use a hare in distress call (sounds like a baby crying) i got one in first time :D ...but it was smarter than me lol, ive whistled with mine about 6-7 times and brang in 3 foxes none in the right position for a shot to be taken... but i rate the caller ;)
