  1. I reckon market squeakers are shite just squeak of your fingers!!!!!
  2. Only done it to shotgun but have had them in pretty close! don't keep the light on all the time, keep down wind. And practice your sounds. it personnal preference but i squeal loud to get attention but i reckon it sounds shit so once attention is gained i quieten down and use quality not volume. also i sometimes use mouse like squeaks if in an area where there isn't much rabbit hare etc. I practiced on the foxes in my road and the local cats. helps to get a feeling what sounds work best. then adapt. i had a fox jump up onto the side of my car and put its head in the window!!! that made me
  3. From reading this and been out looking for foxes etc movement does show up. i've also been where i shouldn't with my air rifle and had to lie in a ditch the guys out in the field with their lamp were only 30 odd yards away! i lay f**king still and the light passed along the hedge right over me. i had a veil on and they just didn't see me but i can guarantee that if i had had a white dog they would have seen me miles away.

  7. Thanks for that guys but to add yet more confusion - i was told today that you could use a single lurcher on foxes as it was not a pack regardless of whether it was injured or following a pack for flushing. This is the second very reliable source i have heard this from.

  8. Hi, just getting into lurchers and am very keen to get a good all rounder to help tackle foxes on an estate. I was told that you could use one lurcher to catch a fox if you are protecting your livelyhood ie pheasants but then i was told you could never use them! what can you do? Can anyone help?
