The MDX, Universal handsfree combi corvid call
The MDX is the successor of the MID-call and the very first call is made out of another material then wood.
It was developed to generate a different corvid-sound the the FT3 to keep the birds interested, especially when calling frequently the same area. It is also very effective in the period June until August when there is less corvid migration in Western Europe and you only have the local birds to call in which are already familiar with your FT3.
During this period you mostly call to the same birds in your area and the ones that are still there are the smarter and more axperienced crows which offer tremendous challenges in calling.
The MDX can be used in two different ways.
As a magpie in distress call. Use short calls, in full panic, it helps when you think that you are being ripped apart.
As a classic young crow call. This imitates the sound of a less dominant and younger hooded or carrion crow. The FT3 call imitates a real dominant crow and has a deeper, more aggressive and louder type of sound.
