ted Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Don’t know how many on the forum use them but I was wondering if they actually work? I know there are a large selection of them and are predominantly for American game but do the calls that are designed for Coyotes (for instance) work on wild dogs and foxes etc that we are more likely to find here? Are the ones with the mechanical decoys (the bits of fluff that spin around on a loopy wire) an advantage over the ones that just make a sound? Experiences good or bad?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfox Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Simple answer" Yes" they work and work well . I have had a Foxpro Spitfire for about 10 years now. The model I have allows for 24 different sound files that I can remove and replace with new files. Some distress sounds work better than other with a big selection to upload and plenty for free . There is no need to buy the top end models for calling foxes IMO . I add mouth blown fox whistle and hand calls when I call stands. I have worked with decoys as well but don't bother much these days but there are times they add value. I call through the day and do quiet bit of self filming the action rather than night calling but day or night ecallers work well. Check out my link below to some footage I have taken Edited November 25, 2019 by vicfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicfox Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Its a still off some film footage that I took. It came in at a trot then hit the afterburners then smashed into the FoxPro really hard. I never had the gun that day but returned sometime latter, called with a whistle from a different stand and am sure it was the same limping fox that I called in again this time to the shotgun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
