I shoot these little buggers like its goin out of style...they are a real pest here and will peck on our cattle.. I usually hittem with my 12 guage with either 4 or 7 1/2 shot. I like when we slaughter a beef then i push the gut pile in line with the opening of the barn door..then i sit in the barn and wait fot them to come and feast at which point i stick the gun out the door and blast them. We have so many here i usually won't shoot until i can get at least 2 lined up with one shot so i save on shells lol....personal best is 5 with one shot...also we dump all our table scraps out on our garden behind the house so they are constantly swaking out there...its pretty convienent to sneak my bedroom window open and let some lead fly at them.....Now this isn't a good idea in a heavily populated area or when someone in the house is one the phone lol.
