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).

that will teach the buggers to lose against BOP last night,:D
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.
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
Nice shooting Kimjon, good haul right there!!!!!!!
Nice shooting :)
I like to use this distress call,magpies cant seem to help themselves from coming down for a nosey :thumbsup:

Worth a Crack Nigel ... nigel ?
Sweet might try just throwing my phone in the middle of the paddock and see what happens.

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 :thumbsup:
Live decoys work a treat
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.

I blody love shooting the bastards with the 22.
the more maggies the better round my house
That file worked really well. I heard a couple in the distance somewhere and within 2 minutes of playing that audio clip they had come right in. Unfortunately they landed in a position where I couldn't shoot them without risking peppering the neighbours house.Quote:
