    Lidl have cheap carrots as well. Sounds a better way to go.

    Could always squeeze the carrots to make 'em squeal and the sound will definately draw in the rabbits which in turn would draw in the foxes :cool:

    I imagine that you might think you'd use it more than you will.
    I got one last year from Lidl. It is very good.
    But I've hardly ever used it.
    In all honesty, I'm not sure what I thought I needed it for...
    I just liked the idea of it.
    You would see a rabbit at 100yds. I could tell which dog was in the field about 150yds away.
