003.jpg Charlie Jacoby uses a Callmaster call, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEI had with me an electronic caller from Decoying.co.uk, which Howard Heywood tested in the last issue of Sporting Rifle. A point he made was to use it sparingly. A few squeaks of a rabbit here and there is more realistic for a fox than a rabbit squeak going on and on. The digital caller comes with chips loaded with sounds. It did not have, I noticed, the mewing of a vulnerable kitten.Surveying the farmyard where there were cats, chickens, duck and all of it a potential feast to a fearless fox, I reckoned the predator could only come through one of two gates. The wind was wrong for one of them, so I followed the fox’s future path back out into the field from whence it would come. There was another gateway on the other wide of the field and covering both it and the farmyard gate was a perfect thorny corner. I’m a great fan of these. I use my pigeon hide kit but I use the camo net to make a roof as well as a wall to take the sun off my face. Having set up the digital foxcaller, built the hide and put the stool and dog inside it, it was a question of waiting. And waiting. And waiting.It took two hours, during which time the pheasants went noisily to bed, the thin winter sun ducked behind the hedgerows then sat sulkily for 30 minutes, I could hear the poultry being shut up, I could see two cats scouring the hedges for rabbits (leave some for me) and a bat flitted over head. It’s December – shouldn’t they be hibernating?As the fox slipped through the gate in front of me, I leveled the M03 and silently cocked it. The first shot was a definite hit but the fox bolted forward, then slowed. It took a couple of seconds to work the bolt and send another round in as a safety shot. The fox was dead.The Callmaster costs £165 and spare chips are £39.99 each. www.decoying.co.uk

054.jpg Frede Mueller calling roe deer in Germany, 3456 x 2304 Frede Mueller calling roe deer in Germany, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEWhat did the Germans ever do for us?Charlie Jacoby goes roebuck shooting in Germany and finds out how they do things differently over there. Britain has all the best roebuck but the Germans have the best traditions and techniques for shooting them. Admittedly, they do their traditions with the kind of tweeness and attention to detail that ends inevitably in fascism but we have plenty to learn from them.The German ammunition company RUAG, which sells Norma and RWS cartridges among others, keeps a 2,500ha hunting area near its southern German factory. I went there in a party of four English stalkers to shoot roebucks from highseats and stalked along woodland rides. RUAG employs jaegers (stalkers) here to take its own staff and guests out to shoot roe deer. It takes around 150 roe off the mainly wooded areas on the hunting ground, including 40-45 bucks. It also takes 40-45 wild boar a year, including half a dozen keiler (full-grown males). It also sponsors general wildlife management in the district, including dealing with the 20-30 deer RTAs per year on roads through the area.Unlike the UK, where you might expect him to come with triple shooting sticks, RUAG stalker Josef Naegelein carries a fold-up camping stool, a single height-adjustable thumbstick and a cushion with a strap. He and client stalk carefully to a position in the woodland where he reckons there is a good chance of a buck. There he puts out the stool for the shooter to sit on and plants the thumbstick for the shooter to use as a rifle rest. He also issues anti-midge stuff. Then it’s a question of waiting. Every 15 minutes, he will use his Buttolo call to give three or four roe kid peeps. He scans the area with Zeiss 10x56 binoculars.As well as his job as jaeger, Josef is a local carpenter and made many of the 50 highseats on the 2,500ha ground. For the highseat work, he has the cushion which, sensibly, he sits on himself.
