Hw100 Kt.177 Strikes Again!

Went to a small new shoot this afternoon for a quick hour or so, the magpie shot i really enjoyed - it was about to kill a very young black bird while its mother had to stand and watch. I drilled it at smack on 46 yds on the bi pod.

The others at differing ranges between 28yds to 35/ 40 yds.

Nice shooting mark. They are very pretty birds up close but in my humble opinion the only good maggie is a dead one. Last weekend in my mums garden we saw one swoop and take an adult great tit.....maul it...land back on the fence and take another. Typically i had no rifle with me so launched one of my trainers at him in disgust. Never seen them take adults before.... and im guessing he had never seen an airborn size 11 hurtling towards him either. Keep it up fella

Hi Matt,

Yes mate we hate them, they constantly take young birds and peck them to death.

The Magpie in the picture - check out the size of it in comparison to the rifle, fairly large isn`t it ?

I`ve stopped magpie attacks by running up to them when they have started to attack the young game birds, etc they fly off and as soon as your any distance away they return and continue.

 

I hate Magpies.
