[@melissamorris2547]

Thank you so much. I found it very difficult to find instructions on how to use this 😁

Totally awesome, one sounded just like the fox(es) around here, hehe. Thank you for sharing.

[@foxy358]

thanks for the vid, good calls cheers

[@EDB0223]

I will try that here in the U.S., We deer hunt mostly (Upstate South Carolina Deer) but this looks great!

[@haydencook4524]

Good job mate..

[@raymondsloan1267]

Whats the full name of the hare call? The green one looks good.. Thanks good video

[@mjgab12]

what kind of rifles are those? i see them in your videos that take detachable magazines.

[@foxesandfeathers]

what kind of fox whistles are the first two in this video?

[@johngalway78]

Very interesting to see the mouth calls in action, bit too much focus on the electronic call.

[@studogg99]

anyone know where i can pick the steel and brass call up from ?

[@Chooky88]

My dog pricks up his ears when he hears thew whistles on youtube! lol

[@eddieorf]

Nice video Sir,what was the green hand call? Couldn't get the name.

[@StrictlyShootingUK]

Edwin Orf Thank you, the call is this one www.wildlocker.at/en/product/faulhaber-hare-call/

[@eddieorf]

Found it,I'm not going order it,cant spend almost 100 US dollars to have it sent over to me in USA . Thanks for getting back to me tho. Any other mouth calls you recommend ,that I might be able to get here?

[@StrictlyShootingUK]

Edwin Orf Not sure what’s available in the US but I’ve used all the mouth calls listed here bestfoxcall.co.uk/product-brands/bestfoxcall/ and they’re all good, my favourite is the Wham but the Original is excellent too. You may have something similar available locally, or these might be available at more reasonable postage.

[@StrictlyShootingUK]

Er, it's a call that imitates a hare to attract a fox.

[@arthurfoxshot]

Great video, Ignore the anti hunting people. I dont know why they are wathcing this if they don't hunt. Its like say me watching big brother.

[@truthseekers666]

Does fox taste horrid then? Or is it tough as hell?

[@Here-and-there]

Good video Shame you carn't get an anti-call to draw them in then drop em

[@ekscholl]

You missed the point completely. I said, "to make us conform to what YOU believe is right" NOT "conform to what is right." Two entirely different animals (no pun intended). In other words, the former would include you imposing your will on those that do not agree with you. The latter would constitute the existence of an actual correct answer supported & proven by empirical data of which in this case, there is none, merely belief.

[@bshee400]

@IShootandFish that's how i ended up here thanks

[@truthseekers666]

Gordon ramsay shows how to Pan boil fox in the Times Newspaper do a search on google for FOX RECIPE

[@ekscholl]

Think through what, you trying to make us conform to what you believe is right? Good luck with that, Sue.

[@665Rogue]

@665Rogue i don't agree with fox hunting in the slightest but when those hounds get that fox and remember a hound could never catch a fit and healthy fox so it is only the weak or elderly, the hounds are trained to make a clean snap to the neck sure they rip the fox apart after but the neck has already been snapped. I dont agree with shooting if done by an amature it takes days for the fox to die, so people should not premote it like he is.

[@truthseekers666]

@dartmoordog I eat free range eggs, cheese but feel guilty over it because the cows are gen altered Holsteins that suffer massive udders etc. I wish we used normal cows because then they would suffer less. Still these animals do get to live and they dont know much different.

[@arthurfoxshot]

I dont really know, its just thats it not edable I suppose, or maybe it is just tough and horrid. I've never come across any country/culture/ people that eat it. But I'm no expert.

[@5130tractor]

@RYAND548 hi you can get wam callers from wamfoxcall.co.uk.they are fab just be carefull with it dont dint it good luck

[@truthseekers666]

So running down a fox and 40 dogs ripping it apart is a contest the fox can win? Contest???

[@MrShanesean]

what about the we lambs u eat and the fox i got one fox one night but my friend killed 16000 pigs and 500 lambs in one day for the shops not good to see 500 we lambs

[@StrictlyShootingUK]

You are confused between your class-based hatred of the hunters, and your concern for the welfare of the fox. 'Ripped apart' is something that happens after the fox is dead, not pretty to see, but irrelevant to its welfare. And your motivation when shooting as a kid has no relevance to the motivation of adults shooting for pest control etc. You need to think this through some more.

[@arthurfoxshot]

Yes it would be ,"nicer", to call foxes and observe them. And yes, hunting is cruel, but not brutal. Beating a dog to death with a cricket bat would be seen as brutal to either a hunter or anti hunting person. Cruelty is something I accept in moderation. Afterall, theres mroe thrill in pulling the trigger than watching the animal. But yeah I would find it nice and also interesting to simply observe a fox.

[@arthurfoxshot]

No you can't eat fox, well unless your hungry enough. But foxes eat lambs, chickens, geese and ducks which I do eat. Use it usefully? Well I got a fox fur coat. Yes I agree the world is changing, the majority of people no longer live in the real world. But that cannot go on forever, they wont eat when it snows.

[@arthurfoxshot]

No I disagree, I dont think one grows out of accepting cruelty, my step uncle is 95 and he still loves to hunt! Your ancestors hunted for 100,000's(maybe millions, I don't know) of years and we still do it today. I would rather shoot a fox than set hounds on it, but, every man to his sport!

[@aaronvpickard]

f**k anti's if they dont like this stuff then fine but dont watch these types of videos and give out about other people doing this type of stuff !!!! Bring Back Fox Hunting

[@ekscholl]

Simply because you are against hunting doesn't mean that everyone has to agree with you. That concept is very authoritarian and not characteristic of a democracy or even a republic.

[@truthseekers666]

Well i respect you more than most meat eaters because you have the guts to kill the animal yourself. However do you eat the foxes killed or are they just discarded, because as you say we have been hunters for a few million years... but we tend to eat what we kill or use it usefully as this seems to make sense. When one has been so accustomedc to doing something for 95 years I wouldnt expect them to see new horizons of stopping but I think the world is changing.

[@kittenkisses41]

Pest control, yeah right mate! you have a duty of care to your own animals and it's up to you to keep them safe...........why not try putting food out for the foxes instead of killing them. I dare not type what I think of you, but if you pop down to your local Ann Summers shop., I'm sure you find something to cure that itch in your prostate!

[@truthseekers666]

@dartmoordog I know this wont go down well but I am vegi and people who keep sheep for meat sickens me. So you lose some sheep to a predator. Well buy a sheep gaurd dog... oh paerhaps that would cost money. Farmers are all poor and commiting suicide arent they, but not before having acres of land to rear animals for food. Farmers should realise the land is not theirs but belongs to the animals of this planet that have a right to live.

[@truthseekers666]

Im anti hunt. Its an interesting video and very informative however wouldnt it be nicer to call foxes to observe them rather than blow their brains out.

[@jackscenic]

No..it would be nice if you'd engage your brain and understand why some animal control is needed. People like you don't neuter their cats or dogs and are the problem of feral cats and homeless dogs. Wild populations can get out of control and hunters address that issue.

[@flowerpower223]

What a horrible man

[@MrOzzy281]

Yes, he should just allow an ever expanding fox population to tear apart new born lambs limb from limb

[@bobbythompson3544]

laura flowers Laura what were you searching for when you found this? You find it all highly offensive to the point where you pass aspersions on a complete stranger! I hope you did eventually find what you were looking for, in the knitting and embroidery menu.
