snowz Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 a call will only work if the fox is interested, we have a dozen of different calls, and electronic ones and sometime they just aint interested you can call all you like if they aint interested they wont bother you can buy calls that imitate different animals for different times of the year and situations, have you tried calling with your hand or a piece of polystyrene on a window/glass, have a search for these posts on here and you will find out how to do it or look on youtube for the warrener and look threw his videos he shows you how to use your hand to call foxes hth Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Make your own by using lollypop sticks and video tape/plastic. You can experiment with different plastics, adding two or more layers to change the sound. I have made many in the past, and they all work. Plus, if you lose one, then it's no problem. Any advice needed on making them, just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
