That's an old trick. First time I saw that was as a kid.
Free is the best bit, loads of builders yards have it blowing around the place.

Although I was calling yesterday for ~15mins and no Joy with my lips.
Perhaps I was not loud enough though, I hear you on bleeding lips.

We have to rid the world of these baby Killing Foxes!:D

yeah but the stuff you get on building sites is mostly aeroboard when you try rubbing it on glass it just breaks up into balls, polystyrene i think is the finer stuff they make the cups out of when you buy your tea in a filling station, i must try and find a bit....

Gormless might say you are damaging the environment though lol

You must use bio-degradable fox calls !!

I use the polystyrene on the glass and it works well, very well in fact. I like the way he had the glass on the board, nice and easy to carry around with you.

If it's polystyrene you want I have fecks trucks loads of the fecken stuff. good compacted polystyrene comes in the packing around washing machines and the likes . Have seen alot of foxes called in this way

A nice size van mirror on a looped rope is handy.

Can hang around the neck of the lamp man and it is always close to hand

My Pensioner Hunter buddy gave me this today, been calling foxes since the 70's

I want to soak it in Detol over night though

You have to put it between your top and bottom for it to work.
Not very hygienic though

Ya see a lot of them in them in the shooting mags from England. Cheap as chips and quite effective.

I got mine thrown in free with an order of gear from Arthur Carter Sports, have it hanging round my neck on a landyard when lamping, ya wouldnt even notice it there, just looks like a bit of bling

Is that the same as the WAM fox caller

I like the noise it makes but the output from them can be quiet low and you cant just blow harder as the sound dies when you do. Great for coaxing a close fox in, not so great for calling in from afar

Also they are delicate and if you ever sit on it by accident, they bend easily

The wam one I have appears to be thin brass. I prefer the electronic caller and the polystyrene on glass just because they are more versatile than the wam.

Anybody got any links to get some fox calls for the ipod?

A spit gatherer

Any Downloadable fox calls for my iPod?

this old man has no Tech in his life, he was using a Dictaphone recently that he left in a hen house and reckons that the foxes came running.

I want to make it a bit more precise, one continuous loop of distressed rabbit sound

Although as it's lashing here might not get to try it out on my local Foxes until it stops!

rabbits were in the garden last night again, which means we could have foxes outside the door!

Not putting them on a phone, on an Ipod and using a speaker

I have an Ipod nano should do the trick

Then you could get a little amp to boost the sound

Here's the DIY setup I made.
