    Lockvogel with the inter-changeable micro chips... Good little caller, only downside is the price, paid 225 euro for mine some yrs back.

    Im using a caller i got for 10 euro at the game fair this year. Its called the ultimate fox caller.Try www.foxcalluk.co.uk. Im having good sucess with it. very easy to use and as its between your teeth your hands free.I made one from a clothes peg and some cassette tape tied together with insulating tape.It was in sporting gun a few months back. To date its my most successful caller and only cost me 10 minutes to make it.happy hunting.;)

    These calls were out years ago! but they seem to have changed the name for some reason. think they used to be called O.L.T fox call, or something like that! i`ve been lamping for years now and tried a lot of different calls, still think its the best and cheapest call i ever had, well apart from the palm of my hand! I`ll have to try and get my hands on one again! Highly recommended!!!

    Hello greenpeter no point in only giving you half the story.take the spring off a wooden clothespeg. pear off the humpy bits of both pieces. put 2 layers of tape each end of one peg. stretch the lead in part of a cassette tape between the insulating tape. secure with 2 more layers of insulating tape. then secure the other peg on with more tape.ready to call. you can vary the squal with more or less layers of tape. 2 layers under and over works best around here. g

    As far as i can remember, the more you use the call, the better you`ll get at it! You can change the pitch by bitting down on the call, muffle the sound when a fox is coming in close by placing your hand over your mouth, and brake up the sound by rattleing your mouth and cheek with your hand! Experiment with it! You should be able to make sounds very similar to that of a rabbit in distress!
