    Magpies, crows and pigeons

    They are all to clever, and complete and utter b*****ds.
    Down the farm, you cant get within 100 meters and there bloody gone, but in my garden and the trees, on the fence, they take the pi55.
    Magpie (my now arch enemy as i still have not shot one) take the dog for a walk, this thing is so close, i could almost touch it, and it aint moving, 5 yards if that.

    We need to change the law very fast or i may be the next one to go physco with guns (just on corvids) lol

    Get some good maggie deeks and a split bunny, put it 20 yards off the tree line and make a hide within shooting distance. Make sure theres a solid background on your hide tho. Then nailem.

    I have done all that, the biggest problem i have is the flight path, they nest in a field close to the road, and the field they tend to fly across has horses in, then they go across the road and away. The only place i can bait the buggers has very little places to set up a hide, last time i was in the ditch for hours, freezing with my decoy out and a couple of rats split open. You can here the buggers but they just dont come down. I am hopeing it snows this week end so they find it hard to get food, then i am hoping they will go in the barn, should make it easier.
