"Cark cark" BANG! "Fuck I'm dead"

Thats where the title came from mashy
Last year I left the carcasses along the fenceline, hoping to discourage them.
Doesn't work.

heh... great movie. I can't kill anything unless I intend to eat it as a rule. I can understand why they're seen as pests though.

I used to have a magpie distress tape. ./.. Problem was it was fuckin horrible to listen to and as much as I was happy to shoot them, i don,t want to listen to the friggen noise.

Simple. Get a remote speaker that you can put away from you.
A mate has his set up so that the speakers are right near the place he wants the maggies to land and from a hidden spot "fwuuuut" (use subsonics...).

Might take some pot shots with the SKS. Tracers are pretty.

Fuck magpies (no, no, you sick buggers)

.17 is 'good' for magpies - and reasonably safe too.

Has anybody tried eating one?? Just wondering, it they're tasty I'd go for head-shots.

Yeah I like waiting for them to line up on the top wire of a fence and see how many I can kill with one shot from my .17HMR. So far I can't get more than two. Still trying for the magic three

Not much meat on them scummy.
The farmers jack russel seems to like tearing em to bits though.
As for the dick who thinks i'm a pissant because i shoot a species that are now classed as a pest, (like most forms of butcher birds), go outside and appreciate any native birds you see, cause they are quickly disappearing, even out rural areas like my stomping ground.
Every kid should get a slug gun, and the image of a magpie given to them on their tenth birthday.

The local Kahu, (swamp hawkes) can easily fend the maggies off.
Its the fantail, kingfisher, etc that I worry about.

Cats need culling too................

Imported pests. Shoot them, shoot them all.

Actually their not imports "their blow in's from Australia some time druing the 60's just like the Plovers during the 70's and more resently the Pelicans on the Kaipara.

If your really keen on getting rid of some resent imports take a look at 40% of the human population in Auckland "forecast to be somewhere between 60% and 80% in 20 years time.

And their coming to a town near you any day now.

Kiwi's are endangered in more ways than one.

Agreed. They make a great Chinese so I'm told.

Bugger Google !

I thought Magpies were blow in's like the Kaipara Pelicans but it seems they were introduced during the 1860's,,,which pretty much makes them Kiwi's just the like the Poms,Irish,Chinese,saffas,Possums weasels,stouts,deer,goats,pigs,sheep,cattle ect ect ect ect.

Guess it just doesn't pay to become unpopular in this country huh.

in the 60's and 70's I never saw magpies south of Christchurch, now they are everywhere.

And so far I haven't seen mynhas (sp) in the South Island, hopefully our climate keeps pests bothe animal and human from moving here...

First time I ever saw them was in 1970 in Levin,,,but "Google" say's they were moved about the country by some gov't dep't because they eat Grass grubs.
