Will333 1 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Got quite a few jackdaws about atm but I've was warned that they were difficult to shoot. Apparently they have a small brain so once when my friend shot one in the head (near the eye) it didn't die, also he said that they have strong flying muscles, tough breast bone and tough wing joints. Are they this difficult to shoot? Where is the best place to aim for? Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 There just like crows or pigeons. Bang them in the head and they go down. Might flap about abit but a follow up shot to the back of the head soon calms them down Quote Link to post

Where is the best place to aim for? for what reason will you be shooting a jackdaw, remember you can only shoot under the terms of the general license after all conditions contained within that license have been met.

paulus 26 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Shooting them because they are nesting in the chimneys and under my roof - making holes in it! i think you may find that you would need to prove all other methods have been tried and failed in order to meet the terms of the general license, i.e mesh ball on the chimney pots and bird proofing all access points to your roof, not trying to put you down or anything but if someone made a complaint you could get into grief very quickly, Quote Link to post
