I myself have a lockvogel with 9 or 10 various calls, from a mallard to a rabbit in distress. I must say I definately can't complain about it and it will even bring in the magpies in the evenings if you like an odd jaunt at them too.

+1 for lockvogel, have a chip for it with a lamb in distress on it, around lambing time foxy can't get to it fast enough

Have to use shotgun & BB's as they don't stop on the way in :cool:

speaking of lockvogel, i have the green coloured model, but it doesnt seem to be as loud as the black model. anyone else find that?

I have a u caller which I find quite good but thinking on something new, what with the annual shopping trip (Birr) coming up. Are the lockvogels expensive??

In the region from €200 to €220. if your gonna get good use out of it go for it, but i have barely used mine bar the odd magpie.

Didn't Clivej post on how to make a really cheap one if you have an mp3 player lying around the house.

little speaker with a battery in it connected to an mp3 player with distress tracks on it.

Well boc121, I got mine a few years ago in Duffys' in Galway for I think 225 at the time. Ps. The way this country is gone in recent times I doubt they're any cheaper now. Hope that helps Boc

Fish slapped, that preymaster sounds like a good deal. That whole chicken call sounds interesting as anyone whoever had chickens around the house would know how much like music to a foxes ears chickens are:D

Wish i could get it on the lockvogel now!!! Must look it up:)

I have the Lockvogel as well - works good on the foxes and crows especially.
Amazing volume out of it.

Never heard they do a lamb distress call - checked their site there and it's not listed either.

Yeah I know Lurcher, I couldn't seem to find it either. But it would be a right one to have. Why lockvogel are so damn expensive is because there is no mechanical sounds when it is playing the call. You can also get a speaker as far as I know which wouldn't be a bad purchase. But to date I defo can't complain about mine. Grrreat tool:D

It's on a chip I got a good while ago contact Tom @ Casale 2000 Ltd 062 63106, they're the importers.

Hi all, So this is what I ended up with after trying out the mini amp and MP3 player. The sound is very good with the big speaker and the sound travels quite far across the fields. With only the mini amp about 100m was the best the sound would travel.
From this post http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055320088

Total cost
Mini amp under €20
Speaker €37
MP3 player €19 or use whatever you have. The mini amp will take any input from an ear-phone output jack plug.
