Fox bark ( was it )

One shot on kill

Was out in the garden at about 12 Christmas Eve.

I could hear a really loud constant squeal that was moving very fast. After this a couple of times I heard what I think was two foxs barking it sounded like a hoarse dog. So in I went gun lamp jacket and out the the field. On my way down to the field I heard the bark twice.

Got to the gate checked the wind direction and on with the lamp. Seen noting I called for about 20 mins and not 1 eye. Was it a fox barking I heard.
I also last a hen on Monday two weeks ago I though be he back for more.

A fox sounds something like a cross between the bark of a pup (domestic dog) and a human baby crying.

Muntjac are known to have a bark quite similar to a dog*

*just putting this out there to see what reaction is out there to be honest, you have more chance of winning the euro-millions than it being a Muntjac.

Good choice of words.

How about trying a fox call rather than a prey squeal.

Came home from the cinema tonite with the ball and chain. Stuck the lamp out the back door and seen to sets of eyes down gun out and into the field no eyes calling for an hour and noting again.

I heard of a fellah somewhere on the tinternet getting a tin of dogfood and rubbing it into the grass with his boot. i expect the fox is so busy licking it up off the ground he won't notice you about to shoot him.
