is there anything i can put out to attract charlie i thought of tined dog food but am unsure if it will attract them or scare them off ?
+ 1 with big white hunter - unzip a decent sized rabbit or two and if you can, drag them on a bit of string put a large cross on the field to ensure the scent can be picked up from any entry point and place a couple of tethered but unzipped rabbits in the centre and let the breeze do the rest.
you can call them in to the field and it should help keep em interested until a shot presents itself.
Try not to use illumination until your on to a shot for positive ID, if needed, a good pair of binos usually do the trick for locating em, nice and quiet, wind in your face,
Keep lamps to a minimum and stealth will get em
good luck

purchase a raw ham shank put a bit of rope throe it put in sealed bag and put out side for a few days when it gets ripe go to your shoot and atach to tree post but high enughf that the fox cant reach it now go out the next night and wait if you dont get a few foxes snifing around il be surprised / another that works very well is get your self something from the fish and chip shop cover it in lots of salt and vinigar place on the bit of ground you want to shoot foxes works better if your shoot is close to a housing estate as foxes pick upall the stuff thrown fromcars dumped at the side of the road trust me it worksis there anything i can put out to attract charlie i thought of tined dog food but am unsure if it will attract them or scare them off ?
How true ,won't see a fox for ages till the poults arrive .Build a pheasant pen, put a few pheasant poults in it and they will be there snooping around before you leave.
