Question: I am interested in hunting doves, pigeons, turkey, deer and/or ducks. I see that some states allow hunters to use decoys to lure in their game and would like to know what's okay and what's not. Since there are so many sold in the markets now, how do you know which are legal to use in California and which are not?

Answer: Wildlife decoys are generally legal to use in California. There are restrictions for motorized spinning wing decoys for waterfowl during the first portion of each waterfowl season. Please see CCR Title 14 Section 507(c) in the waterfowl hunting regulations.
