TC Why is that TC, it was set inside the chicken house for a rat, it was inside and covered. Ive lifted the lid up to show it. Unfortunate that the magpie climbed inside but hey ho.

Astral 253 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I thought it was legal to shoot problem magpies as they are listed as a pest species? (I may be wrong, but as far as I was aware if they came on your land and were causing an issue, bumping it off with a slingshot was perfectly legal?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
