hopfully these photos work, what they are is of a button whistle,the ufo looking one ($2 at sports stores) so simple to use.the next couple are of a tenterfield type easy to make, bend piece of flat sheet in half, drill a small hole in the top sectionstraight through both sides then enlarge bottom hole to about twice the size of the first.harder to use but sounds like a stressed out bunny and works a treat.last photo is a bellows type scotch predator call.all have there uses,you just have to work out what the red dogs are eating or at least chasing at the time.[/img]

the trick is the holes have to line up perfectly to get the real high pitch note that seems to travel further.you dont get a normal whistle sound as such,but the sound is real close to the real thing(wounded trapped rabbit)
it took me about two weeks to get it right.place the whistle small hole up with tounge rested along the back edge and gently blow,when you get a wet spittle sound your getting close,if in doudt give me a call and ill give you a demo over the phone.0429813207.i also use a duck caller (works great around the rice)mouse squeeker, dog toy even kissing the back of your hand (tastes great after you have already been skinning).being an opportunistic feeder they get very curious towards any sound that might be edible.

Your photos make it easy to see how they work, and how they are made, well done mate.
