Magpies are some of the most satisfying things to shoot.A couple of years ago,after unsuccesfully trying to shoot some for a couple years,I got lucky.I was living in the country in a trailer home about 30 feet from the edge of a large wooded area.I had shot a deer and threw out some trimmings and leftovers at the edge of the bush.Well at about 5 oclock in the morning I was woken up by about 30 of them.I went over to the back door and opened the window,but they seen me and left.The next evening I made shure the window was open and went to bed.Same time in the morning they woke me,so I went back to the door and stayed 5 feets from the door and shot about 10 threw the screen in the window.They had no idea where the shots were coming from.To this day,one of the most satisfying feeling I have had,even if it was at 5 in the morning.
