Still here boys. Kids are finally asleep....end of day 2.
Hmmmm. Flamethrower? Haven't made that one work yet. BTW, has anyone seen my dog?
Wifey caught wind of the brake stand with her van and put the kiabosh on that plan.
However, we have learned a few things about baiting magpies. They, like me, like left over pizza! Also, with action, the kids are HIGHLY motivated spotters!
The initial shooting lane from our blind/dining room ment that, as a right handed shooter, I had to slide the window open all the way from left to right. After the first couple of botched shots, they figured out the movement thing right away.
Sooooo, I busted another screen in the kitchen in order to only have to move the window an inch or so to stick the barrel out. They figured that one out also. Here's where it gets funny....
I 'locked and loaded' stuck the barrel out the window, lined up on the bait pile which is now sporting a dish of dog food, proped the stock up with the toaster and waited....
Managed 2 shots. First was a misfire as the cheap BB gun is only good for 3 out of 4 down the pipe. Second was deflected by the stupid fence (thought I had that solved) and hit it in the azz.
I've been trying for a clean head-shot, but now that they are paranoid, they don't sit still for too long. Maybe in the morning I'll try and just 'gimp' one and go from there.
Stay tuned.....
