No, no, no! Icotech 500 and the Mini-caller works a treat - called in a fox from 480yds to about 50 last week but ahem….. couldn’t get a shot because of hedges…Nicely done there mate. Im amazed to see a fox caller working as I was informed by the oracle (or is orifice) that they are a waste of time...and that was the Terminator himself ... oh well cant always be right
Vixen...
I asked a farmer 'how's lambing going so far?' Looked absolute daggers at me for a couple of secondsnever ask someone that!! im not allowed to say or the sheep God's will smite me.

I haven't seen rabbits like that for ages.
One place has some and I'm trying to protect them like they are gold!

That field is ours and they do no harm so I tend to leave a dozen or so as long as they're not showing any signs of Mixy, VHD. The 16 & 18 acres next door however both landowners need the rabbits reduced.
We know they work...just saying that some (plonkers) think they dontNo, no, no! Icotech 500 and the Mini-caller works a treat - called in a fox from 480yds to about 50 last week but ahem….. couldn’t get a shot because of hedges…

Strange I have permission where there's hundreds and others none or only a handful.
A small handful round my stamping ground, and an odd one or two little ones sprinkled about, but nothing to suggest any population explosion in the offing.
Text from local lad who sells eggs, small pen raided and one or two birds lost. Popped round there last night, clear starry sky and a chilly wind. A few toots on the mouth caller and five mins later this chap was seen crossing the field a couple of hundred metres yonder. Another little tootle from me and he came trotting rather briskly straight in. Classic bib shot with the 204 as he came head on about 60m.
Eight minutes after arriving I'm back in the truck with a dozen eggs.
Tidy.
Nicely done there mate. Unless I have any problem foxes I ll be leaving them alone until July...Ive hit them reasonably hard over winter so they can have their cubs in peace...as long as they behave
