wadingin Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Mate of mine wanted a magpie call bird up in the lake district so as I am running a larson trap at the moment picked one up this morning brought the bird home placed in large cage with food ie chicken leg plenty of water ready for collection .Due to warm weather put cage in shade whitin 20 minutes 2 other magpies where attacking it. I felt sorry for the poor ****** didnt feel the same for the other 2 shot them, am sure the call bird winked at me .What do you think.lol Wadingin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy130 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 agreed, magpies and Jays really **** me off this time of the year, had a Jay carrying off a pheasant chick already this year, the thieving little blighters. I have 5 larsons working at the moment on our shoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malantone Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Caught 9 last year, 23 year before, haven`t seen any this year, but the garden has plenty of song birds, they`ll no doubt fill the gap next year and we`ll start again, viscous black and white ******** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffyshooter Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Have caught 60 magpies on a new permission since the start of the year - they really are a plague that requires year round control just to make a half decent dent in their numbers!!

Gutty Boots Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Don't have any round these parts, they're one of the first things I notice when driving south though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenshooter Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Likewise, I'd refer to myself as an enthusiastic controller of magpies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
