al4x Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 It varies but at the moment the partridge distress seems to be working for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney 66 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Dont want to hijack this post,but can you tell me where you got the partridge call from? I have a foxpro and nothing seems to work at the moment,spot foxes caller on and they seem to dissappear,I would like partridge and pheasant if I could get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) they are both on my one when I bought it so you may be worth checking from the makers, but results vary hugely depending on how clued up your foxes are and whether they simply have other things on their mind. My ground its rare to call them well but a mates every single one seems to come in like a train. Often with mine leaving the fox pro on about level 3 quietly just calling works with the more subtle calls like the partridge one.

barney 66 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yes after a bit of messing around and not knowing what I was doing managed to get them onto my caller, Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir jasper Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Yes after a bit of messing around and not knowing what I was doing managed to get them onto my caller, Thanks again Barney, I'm in the same situation - my foxpro came with the US call card. Really appreciate it if you could copy the UK calls to me + any chance that you could write-up a quick call installation guide? Has anyone written-up a best practice guide to using the foxpro?

Archie-fox Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 With my foxpro I use each call depending on what area I am on..I shoot on a farm next to a free range chicken farm so I use a distressed chicken call...I also think the distressed pheasant works on all of my farms...just watch the volume of it and try a few different calls to find the one that works best...plus turn it on and off a lot I don't have it on all the time...

dogone Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Foxes seem to like quieter sounds. As someone mentioned about level 3-4 seems right. A distress mouse or other high pitch seems best. Even then I am rarley succesful. Coyotes will come on the run to the same call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Are these worth getting? I'm keen to get into lamping and thought they might be worthwhile? Or just stick to back of hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotShot! Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 YES THEY ARE FAB. providing you have the right call. I have shot two vixens in two nights. Which doesn't sound good but they were very lamp shy ! Squealing rat is the dogs ******** round here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 bloody hell yes well stung £78 on top Plus had none of our calls on it All of the various models of FoxPro are not programmed with 'British' calls. I had some made up for me on a micro card. The calls include a few rodents, rabbit squeals and many more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
