I use all sorts of whistles, callers etc Westy - I have a few diff Tenterfield Whistles I use, Scotch Predator Caller, a Fox Pro Caller, Styrofoam (rub that on the window/mirror , wet it with some spit a rub away madly) they seem to respond to that one well.
Keep the wind in your face is also important when whistling - although every now and again one proves ya wrong and sneaks up behind ya
had one a while ago that came right up next to me
. I usually stay in one spot for a good 20mins upto 30mins at times, then if nothing shows I move on to the next spot and try again.
Foxes love gullies and creek lines, bracken ferns they love sleeping in so pay attention to those, they love fruit too so if you have any blackberries and they are in season and ripe give them a good going over too as the little buggers love em - I had 6 or 8 pile out of one mountain side that was covered in blackberries last year
I've never seen anything like it before in my life, just like a rabbit warren only with foxes
the time of day doesn't seem to matter greatly, I've called em in at all times of the day, if they are there and hungry or inquisitive they will come.
When I use the Fox Pro I use all sorts of diff sounds, I try one and if nothing shows I try another, I vary the volume too, I also mix up the Tenterfields with the Fox Pro too (I start out with the Tenterfield at a high volume then switch the caller on.
The Scotch predator caller I use like a 13yr old whos just discovered his ol fella, I go flat out on that one
seems to get their attention well for the most part.
I was out last week testing a whistle I made for a mate and it worked fine I called 2 in but they wouldn't come any closer than a 100m or so so I switched over to the Styro and they responded well to that, I also tried the scotch Predator caller and they didn't come in using that.
So as you can see I use a large variety of diff things to get em coming in, one thing might not interest em but another might hence the variety. I use all those things when I'm spotlighting too.
Thats about all I can think of right now, if I remember anything else I'll add it later.
Cheers
