zini 1,939 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi there, If you have lots of magpies and crows on your shooting area, hide from there sight and get just 1. Recover it's body and set it up as a decoy over a dead and cut open rabbit. Hide again and watch the rest come in for a free meal. Si Quote Link to post
hullhunter 219 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 or put a vibrating razer in a tin box at the range you want to shoot turn it on and cover it with grass so it cant be seen and watch the mags come in. Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 That's simple Millsy bud. A randy male magpie will think that a lady magpie is playing with her toy and come in to spy on the show. When it happens you shoot him. Lol Atb Si 1 Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi, i have decoyed a few corvids over the years. Firstly you need a place to shoot from that they cannot see you,Ideally is the inside of a vehicle or a dark shed where you can move without being seen. I use a dead squirrel and open the belly and place the carcase in your shooting range. Do not try to lure them too close. Better to have the magpies 30 yards away and relaxed that 20 yards and hyped up. I always leave the magpies a day to feed on the carcase, and often two days., Also worth remembering, have a carcase spare in case a fox nicks your bait carcase during the night. You won't kill huge numbers but the waiting game can sometimes be good fun. Good Hunting JD Quote Link to post
