Where I live right now there are no magpies. Grew up on the prairies of Canada and magpies were there. Good shooting...

Norway,

That is a Pied Crow (not piebald crow) you are holding. Those crows are in the Windex commercials here in the USA.

Welcome to Crow Busters.

Thanks, seen this board for a while, some realyy good stuff in here.

The crow in the picture is the only one in Norway I think, but we also got the Magpie that I first posted. They are smaller but act the same if you ask me.
And yeah we also got http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravn or "Corvus corax." (Raven?) in Norway, but we dont se much of them up here in the northern part of Norway.

Have to check out the Commercials your talking about. =)

Welcome to Crowbusters NN22CAL. Your magpies look identical to ours here on the Canadian Prairies. Real cagey birds as they often come in from low in the bushes making for difficult shots. We often shoot them over bait piles once the snow comes. Take them from branches with varmint rifles.

Hi Norway. Welcome to the forum from Maine.

I used to shoot Magpies back in the early 80's when I worked on a large cattle ranch, south of Salmon, Idaho. We butcherd hogs one day and later that evening I took another load of hog guts/parts out back of the barn to dump. Magpies were everywhere. I also used a .22 rimfire to shoot them. An old cowboy that was a friend of the boss showed me a trick. We hid in a brush pile not too far from the gut pile. When the magpies were scared to come closer, (after we had shot their buddies) the old guy took a dead Magpie and tossed it straight up into the air about 12-15 feet. He did this a few times and the others would fly into nearby trees and land. Then I would wack them with the rifle.

 

Apparently, the Magpies thought our "leaping" Magpie was just a live one flying up to see if the "coast was clear." Periodically, when the Magpies were on the bait pile, one of them would fly straight up to see if there was any danger around. The grass and brush was about 4 feet high in that area.

Has anybody else tried this method? I haven't thought of that in years but the photos brought back old memories.

First, hello again!

Second, this is cellphone-pictures, not the best quality..

 

I try to find some time for crow/magpie-shooting inbetween work.

Shot this earlier today on my baitpile. About 25metres from the house.

It was eating on some shrimp-leftovers from yesterdays dinner.

The crows and magpies around here love this stuff. Must be the smell, heh ashamed .

 

- Still using the very nice Sako .22

-- Ammo, CCI Stinger.

Welcome! Cool pics those are some pretty good size birds! I have a little bit of memory of how cold Norway is from when I was in NATO and did some training in Oslo Bay and the Sondheim Fjord if my memory serves me correctly.

 Sadly I havent had much luck with the Faulk, but maybe thats my skills with it, I dont know. It sounds "real" atleast.
Will try it some more, and post here about the results. Tips about using it is much appreciated. :)

Yeah, its nice here with the mountains and fjords, I actually work in one of thoose mountains, in a skiresort.

very cool! I wish they would let us shoot crows with rifles here in Illinois, but unfortunately, Chicago owns everything and rifles are scarey

I wish I had more crows around so I could use the shotgun! So its the other way around here!
But on the other hand, using a rifle and scope is exiting!

Hi NNorway22 cal,

Love your gear, especially your Sako.  I have a .223 Remington Heavy Barrel rifle I bought very lightly used in high school back in 1972.  My first gun purchase, and a good one. My other Sako is a .308 my Dad gave me for Texas deer hunting back in 1981.  Very high quality designs and construction, indeed.

We shoot most of our crows with shotguns and that certainly works well here in the states.  Effective shotgunning is the key to the big numbers we are occasionally able to harvest.   But, successful rifle and pistol shots are very exciting, too, as you note.

If you find yourself in Texas, send an email and the TCP will take you on a fun shotgun hunt!

Good Luck and Good Hunting,

Hey.

The Sako is a very good and solid rifle. It did belong to my uncle who passed away in an accident a couple of years ago.

I'd like to think that he would like us (me and my brothers) to put it to good use, and not let it dust away.

 

There is crows and magpies here, but never seen them in numbers like some of you guys post about.

I would love to see, and hunt in those conditions. So I thank you for the kind invite, thats awesome!

So I will be in touch if I find my self in the right area at some point.

My family got a house in Iola, WI, since we got some distant relatives there and around that area.

So I do travel to the US from time to time.

 

Now its open season for fox, goose and ofcourse crows/magpies here. So I hope for a good hunt in the months to come.

 

Good hunting!

Please don't worry about a deficiency of magpies and ravens. I would be very happy if there were so few crows in this continent that we could only hunt them with rifles. Great pictures! Keep them coming!

Another picture of my Brother, who also loves shooting crows.
Today we were talking about from how far we could shot a crow, with a .22 rifle and the CCI Stinger. (Hollow point.)
Best chance we got was this, shot from 75 yards. And yes, with the very nice Sako .22 talked about in this thread.

One happy boy. :P (30 years old.)

Hello again guys!

 

Me and my two brothers were out by the sea this afternoon.

We were supposed to hunt ducks, but they failed to show up..

 

Where we hunt ducks sits right in the middle of the highway the local crows use.

So my older brother (31yo) , with his Remington 870 Supermagnum, got a little impatient!!

He shot one pied crow about 40 yards infront of us, and after the second hit it went down into the cold sea.

 

As a good brother and hunting companion, I volunteered to go get the crow out of the cold sea..

But, its autumn here now and the temperature is currently around 41degrees.. And the dead crow was floating around in the Atlantic Sea.

It was fun for my two brothers, laughing, pointing and taking pictures with their smart-phones!

 

SORRY for my lack of pants haha! no confuse no

New pictures for you guys!

Early this morning my brother shot this BIG raven with his Remington 870 Supermagnum.

A couple of hours later I shot a small magpie over my baitpile.. Real difference in size those birds!

The magpie was shot with my Brno Model 2 .22 rifle, fitted with an Zeiss Terra 3x  3-9x42.

Ammo; CCI Stinger Hollow point.

I got home early this morning, and while eating breakfast I heard my "Driveway Patrol" go off.

I have it mounted over my baitpaile cause of foxes. But it also goes of when crows and magpies move on or around the baitpile..

So then I saw this guy, and got it with my .22 Brno Mod.2. :)

Those Magpie's remind me a little of the Pied crows over in Africa. The Magpie's are a shade smaller than our Fish Crows here in the USA.

Bruno makes a nice rifle.

Shot a magpie while hunting pheasant in England a few years back...I thought the land owner was going to give me a medal! He sure was appreciative of my service.

Always enjoy reading of hunting experiences in other parts of the world! New here myself, but started hunting at 10 years old, now 60.

I can imagine our version of crow hunting would have much the same effect on you as articles of South American dove shooting does us Yankees.

The wading in the ocean looks like one tough s.o.b.! Must have some Viking blood mixed in there somewhere!!!!

 If you require offal, go to your local butcher and ask for fox bait scraps. Works well for foxes, but also for corvids. Also chuck down a rubbish bag split open with cans and other bits sticking out and the offal spread around. 

Corvids just LOVE rubbish bags to break open and discover what's inside, and while they do that, you can pot them off

Here in Washington State we have to use shotguns only on crow and the raven is a protected species. Your Brno and Sako .22s are great rifles. I would enjoy plinking crows at a distance with a .22 or 17HMR if it were legal to do so. I would also like to take crow with an airgun were it legal. I've been enjoying your pictures and the scenery is beautiful. The Pacific NW is quite similar in that we are surrounded by snow capped mountains and deep cold waters. I use either a Remington 870 20 GA or an old Browning A5 Light 12 auto loader. I used to hunt them with Winchester Model 12s both 12 and 20 GA, but they are getting to be a bit long in the tooth so they are relegated to the gun safe these days. They belonged to my Father and Grandfather so hearing that you were using a Sako owned by your deceased Uncle was kind of nice. Nothing like hunting with a firearm that has some family history to it.

When I arrived in Zambia my guns did not catch up with me for several days so I used the guides Bruno .375 to shoot wart hogs for camp meat. Those 300 grain soft points would lift a small hog right off the ground on impact.

Welcome to Crow Busters.

Bob A.

 Known as a "grey crow" over here in the UK. They tried to ban shooting them, as they are rare in the south, but we have them by the thousands in the north and west. They are a sub species of carrion crow, and the nastiest of the bunch. They pick the eyes out of lambs and calves, and when sheep fall on theit backs, they peck the bellies open

 The last pictured crow was shot by my older brother (32) who owns the Remington 870 SuperMagnum (12GA)
He is one hell of a shooter with that shotgun!
My little brother got the Sako .22 now, real solid gun!
And I still got the old Brno .22, with a brand new scope. I also got a very clean Sako .222, it was also owned by my deceased uncle. Beautiful gun, never selling that.

When I arrived in Zambia my guns did not catch up with me for several days so I used the guides Bruno .375 to shoot wart hogs for camp meat. Those 300 grain soft points would lift a small hog right off the ground on impact.

 Guess I would get the same effect shooting crows with the Sako .222, loaded with Z/V-Max bullets. biggrin
