DIY Predator calls & whistles.

Post by Oldbloke » 15 Nov 2017, 8:32 pm

So when I can I like to DIY. That goes for calls too.
Some are very expensive for what they are. Some are cheap, like the button whistle. What does every one else do?
Tenterfield whistles are very easy to make. Bent piece of light galvanised iron. Drill two holes. I use 2mm & 4.5mm. A picture is worth a 1000 words.

Ive heard more people say they cant use it, but ive had no trouble.
I have an original one...soon as i ripped it out of the packet i couldnt get it to work for the life of me...so i read the instructions which momentarily made think of an entirely different type of foxing...

But then in the paddock at calving time...
... waalaah shazaam, first night i used it i was da man...
Many a fox came-a runnin for me to give'm a stunnin...

Its my favorite now, a bit raspy, but effective...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...

" I've never even tried to blow one, are the hard to get the hang of?"

They do take a bit of practice.
