FOXHUNTER1 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Me and Ratch were out lamping again last night looking for foxes. On arrival at the ground the mist descended but it was very patchy. There was a freshly cut grass field where I lamped a fox immediately but unfortunately the mist got that thick no shot was possible and it disappeared We continued and as if by magic the mist lifted , we entered a stubble field where I spotted another fox which I decided to call and it came screaming in to around 30 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm forming the opinion that there are those who can call and use it and those who don't. The latter are the pot shot brigade who create the lamp shy ones and then have to clear them up at extreme range and running, I also think that spoils the adrenalin rush of one coming hoofing in and you having to work out when to stop it. My last couple have been seriously close but under NV certainly when I was introducing a forum member to foxing I wasn't expecting to show him one quite as close as we did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavman Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 well done, they dont all squeak in but if they do its sometimes harder to stop them for a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 a good oi or even a lambs bleat we use occasionally tends to stop them but you want your cross hairs on them when you stop them as you don't get long. Its very true that you will get ones that don't respond but its well worth trying first, its very strange and has I think something to do with weather and food availability. If windy and they are hungry they can respond very well even foxes you know have ignored it in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
