    Hi, I joined this forum a week or two ago. Live down south and do a bit of deer stalking, vermin and rough shooting. Hope to learn and share a few things here.
    regards

    I made up a caller with a MP3 player and horn speaker and called in a fox from 2 fields away using one of Varmint Als sounds but that fox was to sly to get a shot off at him.
    What sound did you use?
    Very still last night the sounds carried far across the fields.

    Mostly used the cottontail & cottontail distress. I shoot in the evenings and would sometimes shoot the shy ones further out if the wind allows.

    Welcome aboard and happy hunting!

    Thanks again for the warm welcome.
    Mostly gear comes second out in the field anyway, but I enjoy trying to improve the accuracy and repeatability of a rifle.
