Make it 6?
OK fellas, looks like @SiB got the last one... however, lets see how Paul at FoxCalls goes with following up, he’s been inundated in the last few days and comms have been slow. If he does what he says he will do, no harm in adding a couple more to the order, so @kukuwai and @MSL you’ll be covered. No more please! At least until we have a view on whether these things make a cat feel hungry or not...
As per #21 I'm still keen on one please
I am keen on one too.

This thread about fox whistles reminds me of the fox hat

OK fellas,just had a mail from Paul at FoxCalls to say he is out of stock but more is on the way, no time frame specified. Will be in touch on this again as soon as I hear from him again.
List of recipients is:
Me @viper @SiB @FatLabrador @kukuwai @akaroa1 @MSL
and the sneaky @Russian 22. for asking even though we were done!
So that’s eight all up. No more! Hopefully this won’t take too long to sort out.
Gents
Paul from Foxcalls.com has been in touch and now made NZ a shipping destination - cost $5 AUD - so all up the whistle costs $33 AUD.
Seeing as how me getting them in and then sending to you will only cost 3 or 4 dollars less, I'd prefer it if you would order your own. Does that sound fair? I'm also going away for most of the next 2 months and don't really want anything like this sitting in the postbox or at the post office for weeks.
If you think that's all very unreasonable then tell me and I'll order you one. I'm going to order tomorrow night so he processes it Monday. But... if you leave it to me you might not get it for quite a while. Sorry about that.
You can get one here:
Tenterfield style whistle
@viper @SiB @FatLabrador @kukuwai @akaroa1 @MSL @Russian 22.
Yep sweet as I will jump on his website and order my own. Cheers @Flyblown. Far out $5 AUD to my door is a pretty sweet deal.Quote:

All good , cheers mate.
And now we have seven households in NZ that are being driven crazy buy the sounds of fox whistles :O_O::XD: as the entrepid wild cat hunters are about to step forth :ORLY:
Some maybe whistling from there ass if they have pushed it to far on the home front with there other halfs and have found it stuff up there with some force:sick::P;):XD:
I will get on to it tomorrow.
As a matter of interest there was a kitten sitting on the stone steps to my workshop a couple of days ago.
Box trap is out.
But where there is a kitten there are sure to be more kittens and a cat !!!
They’ll be singing songs about us one day, @Sideshow. Big bawdy thigh slapping ale swilling songs. There will be medals and OBEs and environmental awards, we’ll be on breakfast telly regaling the nation with tales of how we saved the birds. Campbell will interview us with fawning admiration and Kim Hill will be speechless for once, incapable of even one interruption. Massey will give us honorary Doctorates in Whistling. Court cases will come and go as Whistlers are charged but then acquitted of shooting neighbourhood pets, and a ground swell of public opinion will shame cat lovers into exile once and for all.
Just you watch.
No pressure lads, the game is on. First to win a medal, wins.
Got mine ordered looking forward to using it.
Whistle arrived today. Drives my Staffords mental.
Having a bit of trouble mastering the Tenterfield whistle, starting to get the hang of it. My eldest boy got it immediately. Unfortunately I won’t be able to test on feral cats for several weeks so one of you fellas must get out there and claim the first scalp.
surely if it works on cats ferrets n stoats could be the same seen quite a few ferrets lately on the roads
You just earnt a ministerial position for sure! that was inspirational! @Flyblown for 2icQuote:

My son can do it, I am struggling. There is a YT vid that helped me here:

I’m a wee bit disappointed with the plastic Tenterfield, maybe blaming the tools, maybe not. Am going to smooth off the plastic around the hole as there’s a ridge.
EDIT
GOT IT!
Took a wee scalpel that the nurse used to take my stiches out (waste not, want not as my granny said...).
Gently trimmed the little ridge of plastic around the holes formed by it partially melting when drilled I guess.
Also just gently turned the scalpel tip in the holes to clean them. That made a real difference.
Watched the video again, and bingo, dying rabbit and extremely interested dog.
My post trim efforts - improvement required, but getting there.

I ended up hand turning drill bits perfectly sized for the two different diameter holes and cleaning them that way, that made an instant improvement too. So its a little rough in stock form, but a couple of minor clean ups and good to go.
Get that black cat @FatLabrador! I expect pics of it tonight.
Was out doing tractor work and spotted a wild cat so went home and grabbed the 223 and the Tenterfield. When I got back the cat was nowhere to be seen. So gave it some whistles on and off for a minute then next minute a cat appeared out of the broom straight on looking at me. Quickly aimed at the chest boomtwack and she's lights out.

YOU BASTARD
I was determined to be the first one to get a cat with that whistle! But I’m friggin’ useless, every time I’ve seen a cat I end up kicking myself half to death because I forgotten the bloody whistle.... again!!!
Bloody good on you mate, that is a good result.
Righto the wife has just read your post @FatLabrador, and she’s sat down to knock up a lanyard with a wee pouch on the end, that she’s sewing onto my .223’s sling. No farkin’ excuses now, she says.
Funny as I was just talking to my neighbour about feral cats today, and the need for us to wage war.
I'd be keen although I guess I'd have to adapt it from an Aussie rabbit accent to a kiwi one so the local feral pussies can understand it.Quote:

I'd be keen as well if someone is going to order some more.
Rubbing a moistened piece of polytstyrene across a piece of glass works really well as a fox call.
Not as portable as a whistle but readily available here to give it a try.
I downloaded a game call app on my phone and use the mouse squeak or dying rabbit call to bring them in.
If I don't have time, i simply squeak with my lips
Bloody hell. I never knew this kind of app even existed. Which one do you have @scottrods? I can see a definite application with the Bluetooth UE Boom.
I just tried Coyote & Predator Hunting Calls on the iPad and played the four “rabbit in distress“ calls and my Staffords went freakin’ ballistic.
55grain Speer hollow point tnt the projectile went in front on chest and angled out it's right shoulder with a fist size exit hole and the right leg was just hanging on.Quote:

always wondered if it worked on feral cats👍😎 watching foxing vids on youtube on my ph makes our foxie x's go bonkers 😁🙄🤣
I use a predator quest cottontail rabbit call, here in Canada, I've called in lots Coyotes, a few wolf, lynx, black bears and grey fox and a lone cat (cougar) that scared the Be Jeasers out of me, and him. I am now a bit more careful, with how much cover is behind me. Most predators will come in to a rabbit destress call.

I soldered mine but same thing !
Finally got my shit together and went looking for cats. I walked up the race, stopping every 50m to whistle and scan. Was on my 5th or 6th whistle when this little vermin stuck his head out the bush on the other side of the creek. He headed down through the brambles and crossed the gully and came up the face, continuing about 60m towards the whistle, before I shot it, never stopped once. He was up for some dying bunny for sure.
