As "Oldbloke" also mentioned,,,,,, it does have a certain technique to it.
And I believe time of year etc also plays a part.
I usually muffle mine with my thumb so it's not so loud and raucous, and also shake it as I stretch and squeeze it.
If you have heard or imagine something being violently shaken as it is being attacked by a fox,, that is what I aim at replicating.
I've found it to be excellent on foxes,,,, but to date haven't had luck with dingo/feral dogs.
Which I'm working on in regard to time of year, and also differing weather conditions.
But that being said, I don't usually have the time to experiment due to their elusiveness, as in they seem to suddenly appear, and if you don't take the shot
you can miss out altogether.
Only if I see one beyond "sure shot" range and its then maybe worth trying to call it in.
Whereas the property owners just simply want to see a dead dog,,,,,,
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
