One on the tree, one under him and one to the left behind the tree. Easy for me to see em coz I have pics with nothing in it to compare to! Have an over and under I can use there and a whistle but haven't had any luck with the whistle yet. Seen em a couple of times without it tho, stuck a broadhead a half inch above ones head into a tree last time I used my bow, misjudged distance by only a few feet but that's all it took! |

Get your hands on one of these bad boys Rhino http://www.tenterfieldfoxwhistle.net/ They may take a long time to learn but once you learn how to do it properly foxes run in from every direction! as i have lernt! Watto and Trent have also seen one of these things in action had bets put on that a fox will be around within 10 - 15mins and they were both wrong 2mins flat at 20m away! |

Mines a couple of coins drilled out with a brass ring around em holding them together. This thing has sentimental value so I wanna stick with it till I know for sure. Haven't really used it in the right spots yet I reckon, or I'm doing it wrong! Heard good reports about em, not as good as the tenterfield tho! |

The whistle your talking about is the tenterfeild whistle. Alot louder and more raspy than the common button whistle. The gun I mainly use is a savage mod 12 BTCSS in 204ruger with a 4-24X50 I load all my own ammo with 25.5gr of bm-2 under 39gr serria blitzkings. I have also shot foxes with 222/17wildcat, 223rem, 17hmr, 22lr and ofcourse .204 ruger. The 204 and 222/17 stand out above all. When I can I will shoot a fox with my samba rifle (weatherby vanguard 300win mag) anyway last night provided 2 foxes shot one lost in long grass the other droped on the spot  my left hand is covering the logo on my work shirt. i could get in alot of trouble for petty shit like that |

that's a lot of foxes! spotlighting seems a bit boring though (I imagine), is it more fun walking around during the day and getting them? and has anyone here gotten them with a bow? I think if I read correctly, Rhino missed one by a few inches with a bow. |

Got this pup at 280m using my .204 Ruger. P.S. Sadly my .204 is for sale....easily the most accurate rifle I have ever owned - so accurate it makes the nut behind the bolt look bad! Its a Howa 1500 Stainless Heavy Barrel in a Boyds Thumbhole stock with a Tasco 4-24 Mill dot scope, comes with Dies, 100 projectiles, mabye 200 once fired brass, 100 factory loads, cover and cleaning kit.
