Deer calls

So I have recently come into an electric caller that has Roe, Fallow & Sika calls.
I have never used any calls for deer stalking only ever foxing.
What are the pros and cons of using an electronic caller over the traditional horns and reeds wtc?

In what legislation suggests that calling deer in the UK is illegal?
I have poked through both the Deer act 1991 and the Hunting act 2004 and I can’t see where it says it’s outlawed, if I’m wrong please do put me correct onto the legislation.

Is the use of electronic callers for game not illegal?
Or am I confused with ducks and geese?
Either way, as above they’re illegal here.

Here in England it would seem they are not illegal no.

Fair enough, my bad and apologies.
But having just spent the morning calling sika in by mouth, I’m not going electric.

Younger generations are all digital. They have no concept of actually learning a skill, or how to read an article or indeed think for themselves.

If there is not an App to do things by, they really are unable to function.

Indeed these days they can only meet people via an app. Indeed if they want to procreate and you don’t have an app, then no chance.

In any case I think tape recordings for use in attracting wild animals for purposes of killing them is prohibited under the Wildlife and countryside act 1981, or the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.

So your idea of actually learning how to use a mouth call is an excellent idea, or at least buy a buttalo.
