I'm wondering how I can make a rabbit in distress caller, for hunting. I can make a call with my fingers, but it's not loud at all, any ideas on how to make a better one?

Nothing beats the authenticity you get from blowing in a real rabbits rear

I'm sure you have great experience with that, I think I'll stick to artificial callers though.

You can mimic a general rodent distress call by sucking on the fleshy part of the back of your hand between thumb and forefinger with slightly pursed lips -- I wonder if that's similar to what you're talking about with your fingers.

I don't hunt but I'm an amateur wildlife tracker and you can usually get a fox or owl to turn their head in interest that way.

That's not exactly how I do it with my fingers. I use the side of my middle finger facing my thumb, get it a little wet and suck with pursed lips at the point between my middle and forefinger, mostly on the middle finger. Long and loud at first, getting quit and slower, to mimicking a rabbit dying. They come out of their holes to see what kind of danger is happening. Your method can make the sound of a rodent pretty well though.

Pretty good. I'll keep that as a plan b. Still looking for a way to make a good rabbit caller. (Don't own a bluetooth speaker)

lmao, I was joking. Honestly, I don't really know how to help. Only guy I know who hunts rabbits just brings a bunch of dogs with him up in the mountains and has them chase them around so he can shoot them.

sneer? May have been joking, but I've used YouTube recordings or rabbits in distress before.
