Catamong Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Somebody once told me to shake a box of matches, didn't work for me, I much prefer to use a Larsen trap, very efficient in removing magpies whilst you do more important things like shooting clays or playing golf.

bob300w Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) A fox/rabbit squealer works fine, providing that you see the magpie before it sees you of course. Course you may also attract foxes, crows, owls, hawks, stoats, weasels and rats, so take plenty of ammo! The problem with matches, that are supposed to sound like a magpie chattering, is that the noise only carries 30 yards or so.

steve_b_wales Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) The best magpie call ever, came with my callmaster digital caller (I've had it about 6 years now) It is the most genuine sounding call that I, and my mates, have ever heard. It may have cost me a lot of money ( bought for the fox calls) but excellent in sound quality and reproduction.

Ferret Master Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Please note using an electronic caller in order to attract and shoot a bird in Britain is illegal. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
