I had good practice sneaking the goose gun barrel out the door quietly and I dropped him just like I had dropped 10 magpies. He was not educated

A fellow "pie killer "...for a little more fun try this way .

You must be really stealthy or have dumb magpies. Haha. I can barely get 2” of barrel out the crack of the door and shoot. They’re on high alert.

80 acres... ish. but can really only shoot on half of it as the house is where it is. There is a tree lot in the centre which is where they are denned up.

If you have hunted the same 80 acres multiple times then they likely know your there before you even step out of the truck. I'd give it a few months before going back. When you do go back try to park and sit somewhere different than you have in the past.
