lister1 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 can you attract jays like you would magpies or is it a matter of getting them on the wing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 They can be trapped with a larsen well in the spring with dummy eggs and nest. Otherwise it`s on the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_R Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 If you are doing this in Oxford I think Jays are off the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Jays are still on the general license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Depending on how much time you have to spare you can watch out for where they are visiting their stores of acorns and lie in wait. They won't be far from the oak trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossandjet Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Jays are the easy to shoot when they are collecting acorns to store for the winter. They fly back and forth all day over the same route and it makes them very easy to asmbush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
