Coypu Hunter 486 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well, Maggie Maggie at any rate. Three of 'em prancing around on the lawn, screaming their heads off. At 17 yards from the windows at the back of the house (bad decision). The first one (on the right) dropped where it stood, heart shot from the front, just up in the black bib.The second came back to have a look, and stood over its pal, shrieking. It hopped up and back away from its pal just as I pulled the trigger, so the shot went a little low. However, since it was face on to me and jumping slightly backwards and up, I think the shot still clipped the heart and/or lungs. Either way, it only flapped about five yards away and then dropped like a stone, didn't even twitch after that. 2 Quote Link to post

Coypu Hunter 486 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Coypu Hunter 8, Magpies 0. This one was at the top of a tall pine tree in our back garden. Up angle about 30°, distance to tree trunk around 41 yards, line of sight to target 45 yards. Centered the crosshairs on its wing shoulder, where the heart is, rather than holding over by 1 mildot as I would for a 45-yard shot on the level. Heard a loud thwack at the receiving end, and the magpie flapped twice before nose-diving towards the ground, where it was pronounced DOA. Quote Link to post

Coypu Hunter 486 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 And it's a smackdown for number 9 this year. I'll soon have cleared out the bunch that learned to steal eggs from inside our chicken house... Quote Link to post
