How do you use the fox barker?
This instrument was also used over 100 years ago. To imitate the barking of the
male fox, the tapered mouthpiece is jerked and the air is drawn in so
that the following sound comes out.... hauu...hauuuu....hauu....hauu...hau. The trap barks a little
higher. To do this, you turn the Locker round and blow into it.... hauu.... hauu... hau-hauu- hau.
The barking sounds of the fawn are slightly shorter. The best exercise is to answer a barking fox at
. Open and close the handcup as required. From May to August, lure the young foxes in with a very short
..keck...keck...keck - call.
They are still dependent on the support of the fawn and are lured in with these
short calls when they see prey.
