Prefer calling with lamp of mate

though foxes hunted into wind so you need wind at your back

thanks lads use no any good callers

yea its called your hand better then most callers

[Irish Lurcher 1,013]

Contrary to common believe its not always best practice to call with a strong wind present.

 

Let me explain, take an example where’s the caller is stood tight against a ditch with a strong wind blowing straight into his face,, yes he is masking his scent from any fox that may approach him from upwind. On the other hand how many fox’s have approached him from behind and got a sniff of his scent???

 

Now if the same hunter was to go out on a still night with little or no wind I feel he is in a much better position to call in fox’s from all directions as his scent won’t be carried as it would with a wind present. Thats my opinion.

 

Below are two of the best callers that I have used todate, cant fault them.

Tbh mate your first 1 is always the hardest..maybe trying too hard..but once your first 1 falls then the rest seem to get a bit easier..atb stabba

be as quiet as possible use a red or amber fillter,make sure your down wind of the fox [wind in your face] make sure you get a good field position, wear either camoflage or dark clothing and use a good caller predator 1 is the best iv used but sometimes using you hand can be just as efective. iv been lamping lamping foxs for the past 17 years and sometimes luck plays its part so keep trying it will soon come together

its not all about calling them you can walk onto alot of foxes on rough nights mate,spot him lamp off and walk onto it as long as youve got the wind half right you,ll be surprised how many you can walk onto ,some will call in some wont,but likes been said a filters a must
