Calling Mags & Greys in the fog.

    I went out for a while this evening, thought it would be a good opportunity to call in some Mags, headed to the edge of the forestry and placed caller under ash tree, went back about 15 yds into the forestry, within a minute I could hear the Mags cackling and a Grey Crow approaching, two Mags settled on the tree and the Grey joined them, I decided to nail him, down he tumbled and Mags flew off, stayed where I was and in a couple of minutes a Mag came back and lit on a branch, knocked him and picked up caller. The second and third spots I went to yielded nothing, headed to the edge of another wood and placed caller in fork of an ash tree, retreated to a drain to hide, within a couple of minutes I could hear Mags answering back, then two flew into tree, could partially see one, waited for few seconds until he showed himself for the shot. It's far easier to call them of a foggy day, their visibility is'nt as good or they're not as wary.
