    Just stick it between your teeth and your lips and give a light whistle type of blow.
    This leaves both hands free to use the gun.

    I've used them fairly often with good results .
    I try not to use the same call all the time in one area Mr Fox gets used to hearing the same call all the time and that makes him harder to sort out.

    They are prety much the same thing right. I was warching a video on you tube " Robert Brucknell" your mans name was ther is a difference in the pitch or something. The caller i got was E5. Would have paid the extra for a Wam.

    Robert Bucknell , this guy knows his stuff. He wrote a book "foxing with lamp and rifle" and it's well worth getting. He has also won numerous shooting comp.'s in the UK. if you can locate a copy buy it. it can be found here, bit expencive at £30 but good apparently the publishers wouldn't touch it because of some of the photos being so graphic so he published it himself even though he's dyslexic, the might explain the price:

    It's on amazon books for£70.50 + shipping used!! ha LOL!
