ayrshiretaxidermy Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 This fox has been tricky to say the least. As soon as it sees the lamp, one look and its off. Seen and heard her for a few weeks in the same area. So this afternoon, i hatched a cumming plan. Set up a wee cats toy on a spring, placed it in a stubble, next to the wood i knew she`d be in. Got the foxpro on and hid that next to the toy, and i went and hid myself in a little ditch, 100 yards or so away. Nothing much happened for the first 20 mins, apart from a few crows coming down for a look. Then i saw her head peek over the drystane wall. She jumped up onto it and slunk along the top, all the while keeping her eyes on the bobbing toy. She actually settled on top of the wall for a few minutes before jumping into the stubble. As soon as that happened, lights out. Theres a couple more elusive foxes around, so i`ll be trying this out on those soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mate, What sounds on your fox pro do you find work well, I have the same model with the original sounds, find it a bit complicated to down load new tracks.

SAVAGE HMR Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Good work mate, not had any lampshy foxes on my permissions, they're all as thick as the 'proverbial' but if I ever spook them to much I'll remember this wee trick. Not sure I could afford the foxpro though, have to settle with the squeeker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
