[essexlad06 0]

I just killed my first magpie! - I though I would leave it in the open and attract more but that does not seem to be working!

 

any tips?

For magpies (and crows), use a rabbit with its belly cut open and guts hanging out.

 

They love it.

Round my way I get success with sardeens and bread!! I tryied a rabbit as bait but the crows and the maggies were spooked for some reason. But the maggies seem to go for the sardeens !! hope this helps

what you can do is get a cuddly toy rabbit some black pudding and some blended cat food put the toy rabbit belly up with the white fur showing pour out the cat food goop and sprinkle out the cubed black pudding that was the advise in the last airgun world mag

owl decoys work well.............but only in the right place!!!

 

position them quite close to woodland, near the roosts and bait up aswell, with whats already been suggeted.

 

good luck fella

I shoot a lot of magpies with dead rabbits for bait, but I also shoot a lot on our Industrial Estate where my units is, for these I use pies and mcdonalds cartons because that is what they feed off in the week, and find if you chuck half a pie on top of a skip it soon as a magpie perched on the edge of it, I think the story is use what they feed on in the area, but like was said dead rabbits with the guts showing works any where

one of the best things i have seen is a dead fox proped up like it is just sitting there they will start of by mobbing it conceal yourself in close cover they normallythen settle in the cover still alarmed and can then offer some good shoots also works well with crows dead fox easy enough to find as roadkill if you dont hunt them
