    In this case its best to read the license, you will see facts from Greymaster are pure rumour with no foundation as its not against the law to shoot Canada geese whatever the situation due to their non native status they don't need to be causing damage or a health risk same as parakeets etc you can eat your heart out shooting them

    however pigeons do have a few technicalities attached so its best to know which bit you are using as good reason

     

    Thanks for the info mate, I had to read it a couple of times to understand it.

    Hi all, I went out this afternoon shooting over wheat stubble. Set up pattern which included a magnet. Shot 8 in about an hour, when a guy turns up (who shoots the same farm) told me its now illegal to shoot over stubble, especially with a magnet. I said I was shooting vermin not crop protection.

    He was cool about it, but said be aware it's illegal ?

    i have used a couple of owl decoys this year to bring them within range, a good cart is needed though.

     

    oh, not 100% but i think your u caller is not allowed for birds but a manual ( mouth ) one is :good:

     

    good luck.

     

    Hi I read a article on using a owl decoy mounted on a pole & using a u caller with a attack call. Why can you not use a caller? I want to do it correctly , need some advice.

    have a look at the fieldsports tv channel mate, theres a bit of corvid shooting with tips on there this week. i agree with hedd wynn, once there onto you its game over. corvids are generally clever and remember things. try not to fire at large flocks wait for them to come back in small groups. use a decent cartridge with a bit of clout :good:

     

    Hi Aga Man, I will check out field sports. I'm using 12 bore 32 grams. Thanks
