    i have used it a bit, with a bit of a rabbit thrown in near a ditch, i let the caller near it and waited near by, you will call them but i was using a rifle as couldnt get them in near enough, must try it again soon

    ive had great success with the u caller on the magpies,dont bother with decoys or nothing,just put the caller on or near a big tree and give the place a call for 15 mins and move on!!

    This works for me as well - if there are magpies nearby they will at least fly over to see who's making the noise.

    Do you just leave the magpie chatter playing for the 15 mins or do you use the other magpie call. Also what volume do you ave it playing at?

    I leave the mags chatter on full volume for 10 minutes - usually I hear magpies respond by then. I've noticed that crows will come and have a look as well. Has worked well in several occasions :D
