    10/22 Magpies (Well actually 23 plus a spurwing)

    For some weird reason we were plagued by Magpies yesterday, but hey worse things could happen and in no time flat I'd shot over 20 of them - by the end of the day it was score 23 magpies and one spurwing.



    Fun way to spend a day, all shooting was done from inside the house into the front paddock ranges from 50 to 150m (a bit of ''Kentucky windage'' used).

    Yeh well done Kimjon. That is fun with a stick right there. I have shot heaps of them here over the years. Hardly see them now as they learn quick enough from watching their brothers and sisters die.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yes Rushy, there are a few lucky ones that just got away with a slight haircut, I'm not sure if they will be dumb enough to return, but if they do my little 10/22 will be waiting

    Have you ever tried deliberately wounding (but not killing) one? It causes the others to go nuts around it and makes for easy targets

    Doesn't have to be that loud ,seems to work good as gold once you have a visual on the birds ...The magpies cant seem to stay away from the distress cry as soon as they hear it ,even when you pop one after another ,they still seem to be very attracted to the call ...

    Ive used so far with success Cell Phone , LapTop, Car Stereo ,The kids Generic I touch thingy ..
    Think if you added one of those $14 plastic magpie decoys the magpies would really go OFF ! ... or your Rifle that is
    Or I have seen a video where a guy is shooting pigeons and he freezes down some dead ones ,pulls them out when he's off for a cull ...and he just pretty much puts a "Stake" in the ground and impales them on top of it and spreads the frozen wings out ...gives bird movement if facing the wind ... cunning bastard

    Some good tips there that I'll have to try. Rushy was right, as soon as I poke the rifle out the window they're off! Didn't take them long to figure out my game.
