Redditch Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) This is the bit I was worried about "Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 it is illegal to sell decoy birds." "use as a decoy, for the purpose of killing or taking any wild bird, any sound recording " It seems to be about Larsen Traps underneath, but it doesn´t speciffically state that. I was worried, because I was thinking of getting one of those electronic crow calls too. http://www.basc.org.uk/en/codes-of-practice/trapping-pest-birds.cfm Your thoughts please gentlemen If it´s only about Larsen traps then no problem Edited August 15, 2011 by Redditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.philmypower. Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 No decoys are fine unless they are alive. Using recordings for birds is illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redditch Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) LOL, the laws here are totally different from other areas I used to shoot, and I like to keep within the law, so just need clarification on those two points, and whether it´s illegal to use an electronic call when shooting crows Edited August 15, 2011 by Redditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
