Glad to hear you got a good response.... 
Not sure electronic calls are legal for any predators classified as big game though....

Pg 70 para 13 states which animals cannot be hunted using an electronic call.

Deer are the only big game that you cannot hunt using an electronic call.

I say BS... unless they actually catch you using it they can not do sheet about it  ... all this BS some of us worry about needs to stop ... because you need to look at it in the way they wrote the laws ....if it does not specifically state in the laws its illegal to carry an electronic call while big game hunting then forget about it ...BUT NOW THEY KNOW SO most likely it will be states in next years laws .... if you ever get an attorney for a game violation I guarantee you he will pick there sheet apart  :sry:but I get tired of hearing all these freakin rules they have .....

page 70/#13, Using decoys and calls.  illegal to hunt WHILE USING for waterfowl, turkey, and deer.  ONLY.  no other game animal is mentioned.  stop worrying about it and go kill chit

In the eyes of this state you are guilty until proven innocent.

I got a ticket for "hunting" when I had no gun or even a knife on me. I have a hard time not giving lip when I run into a gamie, especially when they approach you with foul language and start accusing you of crimes. I know you could get alot dropped in court, but the right gamie will ticket you quick as *censored* for having a electronic call while deer hunting. Just having it in the rig they can still ticket you, all they'll say is prove it in court and hand you your ticket. I'd like to be able to have a rifle in my rig for bear while I'm bow hunting Sept, but I dont want to risk loosing my gun.

I had my foxpro in my truck while deer hunting this year and got checked by a gammie. Luckily it was in a backpack in the back seat. I brought it for predators in case I got bored but unfortunantly it came with some deer calls on it. Got lucky, not gonna bring it any more.
