Crow killer Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I am intending on trying to get the magpies in my garden at the moment, but do not know how to make one land for long enough for me to get the shot with my airgun. Any tips would be gratfully appreciated. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Frozen chips then be patient and very still and hide (have the airgun almost in firing position pointing as the chips as magpies see movement very easily. Use the biggest frozen chips you can (so they can't fly off with them) you'll also get some crows, good luck :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
