    Hi lads,
    Our club had its Xmas fox shoot yesterday and we had a safety officer from the NARGC down with us to do the safety talk before we started beating. We got to talking all things shooting and he told me that if you were caught with a propelled decoy by a ranger,that you would loose everything.I know this is true about electronic callers but never heard of propelled decoys being illegal. He said Mojo's and spinning wing decoys were ok.

    Anyone else hear this??

    Ya I remember years ago something about this, they are illegal, I remember someone brought them home from America long ago, new fangle gadget, but could not use them here, whether it was law or they(Rangers) did not have a clue I do not know.
