ftm 3,357 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 i was asked by a mate if i could get rid of a pair of magpies that were starting to build a nest in his garden ,well he didnt have to ask me twice lads and i set myself up behind his wheelie bins [make a cracking hide lol] then waited for them to show and it wasnt long before they were both adding twigs to the already started nest one presented me with a lovely shot from only 25 yds and i rested the rapid on the corner of the bin and fired !one stone dead magpie hit his lawn and i thought the other was about to fly off but it did the very opposite and flew down to its mate [probably crying lol] so i lowered the rifle and killed it as it was just about to take off -job done my mate was impressed and after a cuppa we spotted a woody near the magpie nest and a nice shot brought that down too! so 3 shots and 3 perfect kills thats me sorted for the day boys thanks for reading 1 Quote Link to post
