My first call ready for the stand!!

Now its ready....my first call, i made it

out of a Roedeer antler and it has a

real nice high pitch distress sound.

Got some tips from TonyTebbe about

trimming the reed and thats the last

part now then i am ready for the stand.

Got the parts today!!

So the parts arrived and now its up to me to make them work, i will start assembly the first voices on Tuesday evening and hopefully the day after i´ll go out and get material for the body and reedprotector. I´ve been searching the "for sale" ads. for antlers or horns of any kind but so far nothing of interest has shown up, i will keep you posted on the progress.

Skull mount!

I had to mount the skull of my first "Call in" its a Redfox male

i hope i get the skin good too, well i just let the pictures speak.

Treestand!

The wiew from the treestand from
wich i shot the Redfox from (post below), i hope this pic. can give you a hint of what the countryside were i hunt looks like. The right wiew
picture is missing (sorry).

My first "Call in" Redfox!

This Redfox was called in on Saturday morning as i was sitting in a tree stand some 800 meters from the city dump, a perfect spot as all the garbage attracts rats and birds that the foxes prey on.

When glassing i spotted a fox about 400 meters from were i was sitting and as i started calling it cautiously started coming to me, but after 200 meters it suddenly stopped and looked to the right towards the dump. As i took down the binocular and turned there was another fox coming straight at me almost running from the dump in a snowmobile track it came in on about 70 meters and i took it down with one shot. I did see six foxes that morning but only got a shot at two and missed one of them, but as it is my first time to "call in" im satisfied with the result and the season is just in its beginning.

Lynx tracks!!

I found this track last weekend when i was out calling for fox, there was two adults and one cub. They had been there probably during the night, and as far as i tracked them they had not been preying on any deer or rabbit. Well we are six countys that have a total limit of four Lynx and there is probably 80 of them roaming these six counties, so the limit will be reached in about one or two hours on the seasons first day March 1st. A grand total of 43 animals are to be taken down in areas outside the Sami peoples Cariboufarming grounds up north, the limit this year will sure show to be too small but who can persuade the gorvement officials that we must hunt more predators.....................please answer me that!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_lynx

Night calling

I was out the other night calling for Redfox but i didnt see a singel one, there was moon but not enough for a good night hunt. So i turned to the Predatormasters forum to ask for some advise an they told me if i cant use light i should try to hunt in the early morning or at full moon nights and do a good run of practice shooting in moonlight cause it hard to tell distances in those conditions. I have practiced the "Cronk killer call" for some time now and im pretty shure that im able to replicate the sounds for Fox, and now the Redfox mating season is coming up so i hope i´ll be able to call them at daytime instead.
