30-6 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Last week, went to see my farming friend, who commented on the magpies and squirrels around the farm. So goes over yesterday, armed with a 20g shotgun, and a decoy owl with a rabbit skin tied around its feet. Put the owl on a section of my lofting poles and placed him about 20 yds out from where i was hiding in a hedge. Straight away a magpie landed in a tree out of range, and started voicing at the owl. This went on for 25 minutes, and he wouldn't come in any closer, so getting fed up i started creeping towards the tree he was in. He was so pre-occupied with the owl, i managed to get under the tree. Ok, i shot him when he was perched an not flying, but i had him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbox Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Been taking the magpies out of my kitchen window with the pcp for the past couple of weeks. Now getting robins, black bird and the like back in the hood now the bullies are gone... Most satisfying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
