johnny Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 When calling foxes how long do you tend to call for a few seconds or minutes and which call do you find most effective Cheers john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 i have had one for 10 years, imported direct from the US, never had any joy with it at all. Yes they hear it ok, look towards it but I have never had one come running in. My hand squeaks work better. Others here have had success, I would be interested to read how as I am doing something wrong somewhere. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotShot! Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hello bud. It all depends on the call ? I prefer to use rat distress. This seems to pull all the vixens in. I usually call for 2-5 minutes then 5-10 minute rest and go like that. It seems to work out for me so give it a try and if not try another call or different time periods. Also if you use the rat i would put it 100 yard away and have it so you can only just hear it. Let me know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remmy1100 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I find it depends on time of year ie using dog or vixen calls when in mating season brings them flying in ,partridge distress is very good as is rat distress just don't have them too loud and don't change to often the fox could be there out of sight and get spooked with constant call changes.what works on one fox doesn't mean it will work on next .place the caller at range your rifle will comfortably take fox and turn it so you can just hear it placing it on a stick helps sound travel better,atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterside Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Recently had great results using jack rabbit call this week Iv had 2 cubs and an old dog running full pelt towards me all shot at 20-30yrds. All have been on foot lay up in a position no lamp on until Iv given the fox pro a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
