It'll soon be that time of year again when magpies become annoying, aggressive and sometimes dangerous. Magpie decoys and the distress call 'lure' tape have become sought after items by customers of Hunting & Fishing New Zealand. Predatory decoys such as hawks and owls also attract territorial magpies into the shooting range of concealed hunters. Home Use! Gardeners have discovered magpie decoys discourage blackbirds, thrushes and mynha's away from ripening fruit etc.
