wildfowler.250 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have a few places I was going to give a squeak during the day and see if I can get some foxes in. I am probably going to go out mid day as I ususally go wildfowling in AM or stalking ect. Is this worthwhile? Does it have to be a nice day,(I'm guessing it helps!)and how long do you call for before a change of location is advised? I am going to give a couple of locations in the woods a go and possibly around some roughs. Any tips as to technique would be greatly appreciated. I am going to use the shotgun with heavys. ATB!

PotHunter96 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 im a newbie to but i have some info first make sure you are well hidden second make sure that the wind is blowing from the fox never you to the fox. i find that the best time is when there is snow on the ground, try calling near pieces of thick cover and if you know the locations of holes you could try calling around that especially if there is thick cover surrounding it also if ther is heavy snow you can find out where they are i thought that there wasnt hardly any on my piece of ground but i bought a call and we have seen three and shot one and i havnt even used the call but we had flushed it the day before so the next day we decided to see if it was there again.. it was remember cover your smell, hide yourself and try lots of different locations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I use an electronic caller, which I place out in a field, approx 70 yards away. I also have a 'rocking rabbit' which I purchased from America. This is a fake fur on a spring, that vibrates and moves when the motor is switched on. I also bait the area I plan to shoot over, by using Chubb dog food spread on the ground. An excellent attractant for foxes, is boiled horse hoof clippings, This is used by many Americans to attract Coyotes. It really stinks. Make sure that you are well hidden, and keep as still as possible. If you can get into an elevated position (hay bales etc) them better still. The weather does not have to be dry, but like all animals, foxes prefer dry weather, and rarely venture out in the rain during daytime hours. Steve.
