    That is when you need a shotgun Mrs Dundee. Stops them dead
    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!

    Got one with the 22 last night. I was out shooting bunnies in farm garden, and in swoops a couple of maggies. First one to pop it's head out of the tree got the works. 5 bunnies went to sleep too

    At what distance? You can shoot the nuts off a gnat at 100 yards with a 22 but mis a maggie with a shotty. That doesn't compute Dundee unless it was out of range.

    It was dark Rushy and the magpie didn't fly down the headlight beam

    I think you should give up trying to shoot them in the dark Dundee. Just wasting shells.
