    What's your magpie tally upto now Dundee ? I have been tracking my kills from the start of this year only 7 so far, the winter has got me into the garage so I'm gonna make some decoys up for a spring trip. Plywood and paint on the shopping list.

    Get into the mongrel things VC or the next thing they will be dive bombing your kids in the spring.
    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

    That's was what that Howa was made for VC. I have just two magpies left but I use them to get the Plovers into range.

    I hate those spur winged little bastards! Ever since I started putting them down all the grey heron's have started to return. And they explode with a nice puff of feathers which is an added bonus.

    1 duck, only one that jumped off the pond, 2 fallow out of four on the crop, and 78 hares, 19 of which we got in one 8ha paddock.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    That is a hell of a day JoshC. You would still be skinning, gutting and cleaning well into the night.

    More like an evening mate. Don't pick up the hares eh, when we're night shooting for pest Control they get left on the hill.
