The only assumption you can make from that experience you describe above, is that you've probably help educate that particular fox on what a local 'distressed prey' animal
doesnt sound like, & so if its a smart one, itll associate many environmental factors to that sound & be extra cautious next time it hears it....
But thats life...we all do it...
You cant make any assumptions about what foxes like, or can tell the difference in...
For all you know, that fox may have been motoring in from a far, & it just so happens that you blew the other whisytle at the same time it wouldve come hurtling in anyway...
Or...it may well have been sitting back cautios of the other soend, & got a confirmation with the next whistle...
Each & every encounter is different...
Ive been in one spot in daylight (from sunset to dark) & had 3 foxes---one come hurtling in to the whistle right up to my car...another pingded out the paddock like a ricochet'd 22lr off a lump of limestone, & the other had absolutely NO interest in me, my car, my whistle OR my light & carried on like it was shopping down the mall...
These were all in the same spot within an hour of each other...
I think foxes are predictable in general behaviour as a species...but each & every encounter can be different...& as OldBloke & Blade says, whether they are targeted in the area & so many differing factors to take into consideration with each attempt & setting...
Thats the fun of it--after the frustration is gone...you cant wait to get back out there & do it again...!!
Fox hunters--i guess like deer hunters, are thinkers & learn almost every time you go out--if you dont learn, youre trying to think of what you could have done different...
Then there is the fukhead retard dum arse brigade that cant hunt or shoot, that record their outings & upload the clips to yoo choob & proudly display their utter fukwitt'd-ness for all of us to see...
Things like shots so bad foxes get shot in the guts at close ranges (50 - 180 yds) & get away, with rolling text saying they couldnt find the fox...well that obvious when you see the reticle is positioned over its back half & you shoot it in the guts ya fukn dik...!!...
Or the old favourite of milking the footage of the fox for a few minutes, then when they decide to take the shot the fox moves & their lack of impulse controll & inability to think rationally with a gun in their hand comes into play & they jerk off a shot with unstable rifle & the cross-hairs weighted with hope on centre of mass & prey for just a hit--anywhere...then they laugh & expres how good a shot i am cos i wounded an animal at 100 yds & cant find it
...
Fukn retards...!!!
I could go on---there's a few on there that i cant believe havnt been to court--im gobsmacked that some people loose their licence for shooting targets on private property & posting it on bookface, yet these kunts have a yoo choob channel & get away with horribly wounding animals & laughing, yet still have guns...
Sorry for the digressive outburst...watched a couple of fox vids on the weekend of "local hero's"...just utter fukn wankers with too much money & time, & microscopic penis's...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
