jazz_11 5 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 magpies never really cause a problem round my place. i have plenty of them but there not making a serious dent on the bird population. i still get the same amount of blue tits, great tits, coal tits, longtailed tits, finches and sparrows every year. i feed them rats i trap once and a while and ive seen them devour a whole wlarge rat in under 4 minutes. so aaron would you shoot a magpie although you say they arent causing the bird population a problem. theyre my favourite along with crows .... if im out shooting and i see any legall quarry within a good distance i will have a pop at it... im sure everyone does the same dont they lol Quote Link to post
Guest Catcher Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hate magpies. sneekey feckers always pestering the small song birds. very hard to shoot. first light is the best time for them. Hi mate i agree they do get sneekey when they seem to know after you have shot a few in the same spot.As soon as i shoot one now i move about fifty yard,s.I find the best way to shoot them is when they are coming in to roost. Find a tree with a lot of droping,s under it.Pick a good shooting place and you will hammer them.atb catcher. Quote Link to post

hughesey1552 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) As i said in an earlier post there are quite a few magpies on my permission, one of which weight about 15 grains heavier now after yesterday lol. Anyway, a lot of the magpies take off as soon as they spot the car or a person. so my mate thought we should ask the farmer if we could take a shotgun next week and he said yes, so hopefully next week we'll have a bigger bag.
