Has anyone ever tried a fox whistle as a locator call? As the season goes on owl and crow calls may not get the same response as early in the season and I was wondering if this might work. I guess I could just try and see.

i aint really sure..never heard of it

knock em down and drag em out

It is a whistle that simulates the sound of wounded prey such as a rabbit or mouse, etc. It is used for calling in foxes, yotes, bobcats etc. It is pretty loud so I thought it might work. I will try it to roost birds friday night or Saturday morning and let you know how it does.

I use my goose call when i hunt the one place i have it is near two lakes.
Alot of the time when the geese fly over it sets them off.

i never tried anything other than the old trusty crow call. ive heard them gobble to everything from owls, crows, peacock calls, geese, yote howls, thunder(excellent shock gobble...cant rely on it though) gunshots, train horns, door slams etc etc etc...

not sure if they would gobble at the whistle...everything ive ever heard has been a deep loud sound..except the peacock...which is loud and high pitched like the whistle...id say its worth a try...see what happens...doubt it would hurt.

ive never had trouble with the crow call. weather im in a spot with 1000 crows around or 0 crows...always seems to work all season. if a bird dont gobble im confident there isnt a HOT bird around. ive noticed when shock gobbling birds that most times they are ones that will ATLEAST talk to you...but i only shock gobble after flydown...usually after the first hour or 2 after flydown after ive lost the birds from the roost..

, thunder(excellent shock gobble...cant rely on it though) Well you've never been in camp with me when I've been eating beans![8D]

i second the train whistle.i live by tracks and when it goes by if theres birds around they answer especially in late afternoons.other than that the trusty crow call works great.

lol...i know all about camp cookin and the thunder that follows!!! 3rd weekend of the season ill be at camp and ill be hunting....if im not incapacitated...by the cooking. the camp owner loves to cook...excellent cook...but SPICY and GREASY are required with anything he makes....excellent food...but itll do a number on your stomach...dad is letting me take his brand new truck...i cant believe it..but i gotta put a roll of TP in there...no doubt nature WILL call....ill let ya know if the birds answer the call
