Jock Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 whistled up a fox a weeks ago on my place, too bad i cant shoot here!! but i dont think it would work on foxes that have been whistled up before That is true. But most people used the Button Whistle not the T/Field one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 The T/Field one, sounds like a Bunny in distress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see if I can find it. I have most of my luck with the button and if that doesnt work I use a tenterfield. It all depends on the night sometimes they wont react to any whistle and I have like 5 different ones. I even have an app for my iphone that I always seem to forget about when out in the field, hopefully I'll remember to give it a try this weekend on the farm.

FireStorm Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I bought one of the shotty ones from the Bombala guy. Tried it out last weekend at sunrise, it sounded good but didn't attract any foxes. Funny thing was it attracted three young deer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natator Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I even have an app for my iphone that I always seem to forget about when out in the field, hopefully I'll remember to give it a try this weekend on the farm. I wonder if that will have the volume. I'd be very interested in hearing how you go with that. Has anyone here got any decent results from any electronic predator calls?

Krustyklimber Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Deer and other animals are very commonly called, while using predator calls. Anyone got a link to the particular call in question? I love the Aussie button whistles... this coyote did too. Krusty P.S. Electronic calls are the rage here in the States, and have proven very effective. Edited April 1, 2010 by Krustyklimber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
