Question: I was wondering if it is legal to use electronic calls for animals and birds out of season for things such as bird watching or scouting? I have heard yes and no from different people, so I want to clarify. Also is it even legal to call with non-electronic calls out of season?

Answer: Yes, this would be legal as long as you do not have any methods of take with you. The prohibition against electronic calls only applies when "taking" birds/mammals (Fish and Game Code, Section 3012, and CCR Title 14, Section 475(b)).
