stubby 175 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 what some new shooters need to remember, is they may see shooting wood pigeons or crows as sport or fun, and we all know it is fun, BUT, and heres the but, you cant use that excuse for shooting them if someone was to ask you, your only reply can be, FOR PEST CONTROL, and you still need to mention, that you have tried every other means possible to keep them away from the area, banger ropes, scarecrows etc, and that shooting is the last and only option using decoys is within the law, but using a "caller" is looked upon as enticing them down, would they still have come within shooting range if not, therefore your not doing all you can to keep them away by using an electronic device Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Just to clarify, The law in regard to using callers for shooting wild birds is covered by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, particularly Section 1(5)(d) which goes as follows, uses as a decoy, for the purpose of killing or taking any wild bird, any sound recording or any live bird or other animal whatever which is tethered, or which is secured by means of braces or other similar appliances, or which is blind, maimed or injured; Quote Link to post
