We have a huge problem with magpies. Poison isn't really an option. I asked to start doing target practicing with the 22 and then realized, um..yah I can't really shoot that at the truck. So hello pellet gun It has been 20 years since I've shot a firearm but eventually I'll get one of the little bastards (where's a gunslinging girlie icon when you need one)
Its in our yard. They go after our garbage (because for some inexplicable reason the daily drive by the garbage bins with the truck on the way to work means it has to sit there until days off). There's lot of things to hide behind but since I have the kids I'll just pop them out of our living room window. Its a pellet gun. We live in redneck country.
Even better than a pellet gun is a wrist rocket. Much more entertaining and you can shoot them with anything from pebbles to old cigarette butts. We used to have a good old time with peanuts and the pigeons in Vegas...
Magpies......about the size of a crow? I think I saw a magpie in Korea once, dead. Supposedly that is bad luck, but my luck soon after was actually awesomely good. Go figure! We had ravens in Wisconsin...bigger than crows, and didn't come around humans too often...they were deep woods versus farmlands like the crows.
That word thread is too funny lmao The size of a crow and black and white yah. We are deep woods north I don't know about bad luck I just know that they are really freaking annoying (and before you ask why I don't just take it to the bins, the extra truck is broken right now and only leave the farm once a week so you would think I would welcome a trip off, but its on the bottom of my to-do list)
My god I've gone to the dark side, would rather just shoot them than start up a vehicle and drive 20 minutes. Wow....
So? Who doesn't like the feeling of a gun in their hands? Just think of it as target shooting, which trumps starting up dead vehicles!
