How to use the Fox Rut Set?
Fox flute:
Over 100 years ago in Germany, a few decoy hunting experts imitated the rattle of the fox with an ocarina (an old folk instrument). Today, a fox flute is still a successful luring instrument in Australia and England. Imagine the subtle whining of a bitch in heat. The fox whines in a similar way when she is looking for a mate. Only somewhat finer and clearer, like a bright little bell. Humans can only hear these sounds at a short distance, but the male fox can hear them at around 800 metres. Put the fox flute in your mouth, leave the hole open and blow (breathe) lightly into it so that first a long drawn-out ...kujöwww, and then two to three short kuju...kujuu...kuju are emitted. It should sound like a fine little bell, clear, bright and melodic, and should be used no more than three to five times in one place. The best time is from the end of November until the main mating season and then after the main mating season until the end of February.
Fox Barking Call:
This instrument was also used over 100 years ago. To imitate the barking of a 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, turn the loosener round and blow into it.... hauu.... hauu... hau-hauu- hau. The barking sounds of the fawn are somewhat shorter. The best exercise is to answer a barking fox. Open and close the handcup as required. From May to August, lure the young foxes in with a very short ..keck...keck...keck...keck. They are still dependent on the support of the female and are lured to prey with these short calls.
