Easy Bully Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hi after going to the CLA Show I noticed a few different types of caller for foxes, some were the basic widget style while others were more american style, if you know what I mean. The one that caught my attention was this one: http://www.foxcalluk.co.uk/ Has anyone used one if these and what were the results? 8 out of 10 times I manage to squeak then in but I suppose I just fancy a new toy, I shoud have just bought one there but if it turns out they are any good will just have to order one online and cough up the extra £4. Thanks EB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignoel Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 i use the brass disc doe's the same thing no hands needed raise pitch by simply blowing harder £5 works fine .use to self squeak but found my mouth was always dry when needed most.

iraq sniper Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have just brought one and i recommend it lightweight no messing about with mobile phones or speakers easy to use all you have to do is bite a bit harder to change the pitch. Get one there cheap as chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffygun Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've been using one of these for about a year or so now and they only seem to work after cubs are coming out on their own. Unless i'm doing it wrong it imitates the sound of a hurt pup and that brings in the adults at certain times of year, you can bite down a bit harder and create a high pitched squeal more like a rabbit distress but i've got the wam call for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I picked up one of these up too... We have been using various manmade calls (Ucaller, Foxshot, etc) and even just my bare hands, so trying something new on them won't hurt I guess...

Easy Bully Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Well I might just give it a go. EB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I have been using the tenterfield caller, just bought a u caller but havent road tested it yet, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleabag Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Dont laugh.I use a balloon, blow it up a bit and pinch the ends between both your thumbs and index finger, and pull outward, you can make it as loud as you like or as quite as you like, 10 for a pound. works better when you have an oppo with you but non the less i have 5 charle to date with it. Try it, it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codling99 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 think ive bought every fox call to date,and the wam is tops and maybe the wigeon whistle second,tenterfield third,and even a squeaky out of dogs toy quite good as a mouse squeak.the foxcalluk call,not fussed at all,can make one easy with a bit of film pinched between two lollypop sticks ,sounds exactly the same.and 10 quid cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Got a ucaller. it works but tbh you could probably find something far cheaper and just as effective. Also heard that recorded goose calls are meant to be better than rabbit squeals. A guy on our shoot was walking along the road playing with a goose call and a fox was chasing him 10 yards behind him along the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeihrauchPower Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Most of th guys usea tin button whistle hear so that's what i bought first for about $1. I then moved on to a tenterfield whistle for a louder call to a wider area. Had great success with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Wigeon call or a piece of polystyrene for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyboy30 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 i have found that the sqeaker out of a childs soft toy or a one of those rubber pet toys works a treat on young fox cubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
