Lowton Stalker 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Comrades, Information please on fox squeaking! Dose one squeaking four or five times? Ten a dozen, twenty, or dose one squeak for half a minuet, or a minuet or indefinitely, or what. Then how long dose one wait before one squeaks again. Cheers Chaps Dennis.

martin 332 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 There is no exact science to it Dennis,it unfortunately comes down to experience,but,don't give in too quickly wherever you start to squeek as they can start to come in from a hell of a long way away.I have lost count of the times when I have just about made my mind up to move on(could be 20 mins)and just as you get through the gap in the hedge only to see a fox steaming across the next field to the call that had already stopped.You must ring the changes as well,because foxes learn very quickly,and if you do miss one you will have to do something very different to get him back within range,but,saying all of that from time to time they surprise even the oldest of us(eh? Bob)and fall for the most inane whittering squeeks from a complete novice that you wouldn't think would turn a lap dogs head,so,never take anything for granted.I am sure you will get a lot of adice on here some you should forget,but,most of it will work from time to time......so good luck.

martin 332 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 They often creep up behind or out to the side,and the first you see of them is on the very edge of the lamp,I shot one at point blank range while squeeking a very nervy fox out in front of me at about 150yds but in cover,then all of a sudden right at my feet but to the left a bit there stood a vixen which was dropped on the spot......you never stop learning with foxes though.
