...I had my first go at chasing magpies last week with my kids, we all got one, but had no idea how elusive they little buggers are.
Still had a bunch of fun, only 3 dead and one with less feathers...

My rangefinder has just been checked by neckshot against a leupold and leicha and exactly the same distances came up as mine:P:)
A very messy close range kill on a magpie at 39yds for the 22 hornet , and 3x goats at 522m with the 308
Or a Dutch Oven?:O_O:
8 on Friday night. 5 for the 22 at close range coming out from an old building, 3 for the HMR at 120m in the lucerne.
Found these six and cut them up for the farmer's dogs and my plate.
Marinaded the younger ones back legs and backsteaks in a satay sauce. Made into skewers and served with salad, poppadoms & dips.
farmer happy. Wife and kids very happy.

Just sighted in a mates .243 with 100gr Federal when these little critters popped up at 146m.
The ear was found 15m away from the body.
Fair to say the new Tikka shoots good and he is bloody happy.
What would you say is the best way to pick off 1-2 magpies and still have them look pretty enough for a nice taxidermy? :)
