Fox Hunting last full moon

Last full moon I was out with a friend of mine.

We called 12 foxes in.

4 came from the wrong direction (wind) and could save their life before my friend was able to shoot.

One was too close to shoot and escaped in a nearby hedge (I called him in on 5m)

One was missed (dog did found nothing)

One has been hit so badly that we didn't make a photo of it.

 

And the rest.

Cracking night, what call were you using?

Thanks EB

 

Thank you very much.

 

Actually I have no idea.

I bought several ones in the States (it is a pitty I can't remeber because one of them ist great), one in the UK (http://www.foxcalluk.co.uk/about.php) and three in Germany (Bird sound http://www.klaus-demmel.de/, caller for roe deer calling http://www.klaus-demmel.de/ (really good for imitating a dying hare, mouse whistle).

The fox call from Uk quite its job after one season. What is very sad because it was good working.

I have got also this one but never worked. Don't no why: http://imgs.tootoo.com/ea/55/ea554f3881cc8...270efaa03a6.jpg

 

Ah and this on I use sometimes. It is not that loud but if a fox is close enough it works from time to time.

 

What I recconed:

Here the old hunters always tell you: Just some short sounds in a little serie than quiet for minimum 15-30min. Than again etc.

I tried that but it dosen't work really well. So I startet screeming the whole time. From fox to fox it is totally different by which sound he is attracted.

We had one save on a big meddow. I started screemin with call number on. He rised his head but thats it. It gave my best but no reaction. Because we had nothing to loose I switched to another call etc. etc. When I started calling with the 6th call he immediatelly looked in our direction and started running.

Since that time we choose a place and I try all calls.

 

What calls do you use ?
