stubby Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 became a mad inventor again this morning, following on from a post on another forum about using a crow deek and fox tail on a pigeon magnet, thought that although it sounded crazy, it just might work, at bringing down a pack of pesky magpie's that so far, have out witted me one one of my permissions, Ive tried all manner of stuff, dead rabbits, distress call, large owl deeks, none have worked, so am going to try this later in the week, see if I get anymore joy... fingers crossed the movement and tail will bring them in to investigate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hryAh2jHODE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) That fox tail seems to work cos there is what looks like a Maggie constantly chasing after it, mind you the poor little ****** is going to get awful dizzy if it doesn't catch it soon! I'm only joking mate, good luck with it! Edited October 11, 2010 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubby Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 well that idea was totally a no go-er, but I wasent going to be beated by those maggies, went back the next day for some rimmy shooting, had a rabbit before heading back to the car, and came across a little patch that Ive totally overlooked before, where the magpies tend to roost, so placed the rabbit down, belly side up, then settled in under a tractor 60yds away, within minutes a maggy had landed, and was dispatched straight away, the sky then errupted with screaming maggies, dropping in one by one, as I dropped them one by one, I got 6 before they figured out it was'ent a safe place to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 freeze one of those maggies down and you have the first decoy bird for next time out with a split rabbit, + the frozen maggie will be out of the area and will help draw in birds on the defence, great combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Great result but why didn't you use your roundy roundy maggie chasing fox brush thingy, it needs a test run out in the foeld (Videoed of course mate)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Well done mate. I ******* hate magpie's and their most definitly number one on my most wanted list. Keep the good work up mate. . If you do manage to road test that invention you made out in the field. Try and make a video if possible, if it in use so we can see the results lol.
