T3_TIKKA Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Is it allowed to use electronic devices in the hunt in the UK, such as CD players and motor-driven Decoys. THX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 it depends on what you're hunting - Birds then no to electronic calls (yes to motor decoys), Foxes yes to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 as nick says. Funnily enough we're one of the few countries in Europe/Globally that can use electronic devices, lamps and moderators legally. However in a number of countries using live animals/birds as decoys is OK...go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verminator 66 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 the law has a big grey spot as you can't use callers but in some of the air gun mags, they do :yp: pls it is illegal to bait in wild birds, the same again in some of the air gun mags and others you are making a nest with eggs in putting out split rabbits under a crow or magpie decoy and others like bag of bread broken in bit's in a field Funny thing is I emailed them about this and said you are telling shooters to brake the law with this as it is ILLEGAL TO BAIT IN WILD BIRDS Hmmmmmmmmm no reply at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I can`t remember the exact wording of the law, but where does your interpretation leave those of us who regularly feed flight ponds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an article in the latest BASC magazine on shooting corvids which recommends hens eggs in a false nest as bait. Seems strange that BASC would recommend this if it's illegal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piebob Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 the law has a big grey spot as you can't use callers but in some of the air gun mags, they do :yp: Don't believe you.

You can't use electronic callers to attract birds to shoot in the UK and the part about baiting being unlawful only refers to attracting wood pigeons using seeds. That is also unlawful according to the terms of the General Licence. It does not refer to birds in general otherwise game shoots would not be able to place feeders out. Geddit?
