Greetings,
I lost the original post, so please forgive me that it is not referenced
at the end of this post.

However, as I am truly interested in this topic, I beat the powers at be
to the punch and put a topic regarding this issue up on the forum.

I have said in the past that using bird calls is kind of like drinking
adult beverages...fine in moderation, and only where it's legal, I also
don't use them when I am with other birders, or where there is a lot of
human pressure.

I have heard some people prefer pishing over calls, and others that are
the exact opposite, Some will only use predator calls, and still others
that are of the mindset that any noise used to attract birds is the
cruelest thing that anyone can do.

But a good discussion needs to be made, listing all sides pro and
against, so I started a post:

Keep discussion language within the bounds of forum guidelines please.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Steve J.
