Teal Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Please note Lancs Lad's suggestions are illegal, as it is illegal to use a recording to lure in a bird for the purpose of shooting it in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballymac Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Apprently you can use this type of electronic call as long as it is not a recording of a live bird, and you are calling non game birds. Might be some different views to this and whether or not it like a form of cheating to use the latest technology but to attract carrion crow and magpie this type of calling is very effective.

hawkeye Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) I believe electronic calls are legal to use it is just recordings of real birds that are illegal to use mind you if im wrong there will be someone on here that will sharp put me right, Edited February 23, 2006 by hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big simmo999 Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 electronic callers can only be used to call the birds in if you are going photogarph them (can't see where it says that you can't shoot em' after taking their photo's!)

I'm with this one, sure it's right, any way my mate's bought a e-caller here in the UK, & it's got Magpie on, so if its illegal, why it got this on.
