Haha, that's my secret call Well actually its a $2 squeaky toy from the 2 dollar shop. I usually put it on the ground and operate it with my foot - keeps both hands free and works pretty good.

I really like the Foxpro - can set it upwind and dogs, fox and cats will came into it from the downwind side and with a few feathers on a stick keeps them occupied plus a wide choice of sounds and volume.
The old tin whistle is hard to beat - hands free as well and the 12g call is good on windy days.
I like to mix them up, some work better one day and not the next.

Cheers,

I took my oldest grandson Evan out fox whistling last night. I did plan on going to a larger property but due to lambing the farmer preferred I didn’t shoot for the next few weeks. So we went to the property where I shot the fat fox a few weeks ago, some of you might remember. Anyway after a yack and a cuppa we got a bit of a spell between the rain for about 15 minutes and sat down in amoungst some cypress trees. After giving a few whistles we saw a flock of crows tack off about 300 yards away. Waited a minute or two and another blast on the tenterfield & guess what come trotting along? Evan was a good boy and sat quietly and didn’t move which I thought was good for a 12-year-old. Anyway after a couple of kisses he stopped at about 70 yards and I let him have it with the 223. Here’s a pic of a very happy Evan and the Fox. Making memories.
