    Where will it end ? There where at least 10 out here when I shot #5 but regularly as many as 20 mercilessly harrasing the chooks and the dogs.

    @dannyb when I started this thread I was shooting and trapping magpies on the olds dairy farm got over 1000 in a year and kept the talleys for many more years.You might have 10/50 or 100 but the barstard Aussies will come back as they are territorial and like to take over our country.

    First 1 for today, stealth mission as there a bit cagey after yesterday's efforts, shot from the slightly open ranch slider in the background where the pink circle is about 30 yards.

    450 ft lbs at that range with the average 55 gr 223 is marginal I agree shot placement is critical and even that small amount of wind could move the bullet 5 or so inches over that distance depending on direction.
    Good on you for the doubletap to finish the job quickly.

    Allow me to introduce #11 dunno if the cut outs are helping or not but if anything certainly getting more juvenile birds.... Maybe they are more gullible.
    Still getting the adults but they seem to come in once several younger birds are already in causing problems.
    I have also noticed that they seem to be more around later in the day than first thing in the morning (which is a pain cause I am working afternoons this week)
