Shooting UK: Squirrels

I've got it, tried it and by eck it works, if a little too well on one occassion.
For a start the caller can be used in three ways for chatter, alarm and mating calls. you ca shake it tap it and blow it, and to top it off you can call foxes with it.
I was out yesterday for its first real outing. I called in three with relative ease. One of them I couldn't get a safe shot, the second died, the third came in the wrong side of a hedge and appeared about 15feet away. Too close for a scope but close enough for a John Wayne off the hip line it up and hope. A good afternoon in all, four shots fired 2 squirels, 2 rabbits.
The build quality and the instructions are really pleasing, and as long as I dont ovr use it in one area I think it will work for a very long time.

Rob jones, Why steel shot? I use and air rifle or .22 rimmy for squirrels. Shotguns are too loud for this type of work, quietly does it. The only time it gets loud is drey poking or if I happen across a long range one when I have my .22-250. Slight over kill but 250yd squirrels make me smile like a schoolboy with a catapult.
As for the foxes, the call has a squeaker in it for maternal mothers etc to immitate young, you can either blow into it or close the end and use the bellows. It wouldn't be any good for long range calling but for drawing charlie into a close range it really does give the last death cry f a rabbit. Not too loud but enough to be heard.
In summary I love it and the squirrels are going to be alot thinner on the ground very soon.
BTW I purchased it from Bushwear.co.uk, ordered on the Monday, here Wednesday. Brilliant service.
