    He was talking to me just before he shot it.We were above the yards and i said i would go past it and it would go in the yards between us but when i hopped out he had come down past the yards so that was the outcome.

    Best result was achieved, could have been a disaster. I have a friend in Oz who is a wheelchair after hitting a sheep on his motorbike on a highway 15minutes out of Perth.

    And yet hundreds of people manage to get them off the road every year without being a big man in a blue suit with a rifle, doing shit they'd arrest anyone else for in a heartbeat

    Who you going to call if there's a big man, not in a blue uniform shooting things on your property?

    No its not. They are specialists not some over confident member of the public with a fire arms licence. They have a different set of rules to follow than civilians and are the ones that civilians call when they need help.

    Scariest thing I can think of is a traffic officer on patrol on the side of the road with a semi auto rifle! FFS he should have run it down with the patrol car. Why has he got that rifle in the boot of his car? Is Taihape really that bad?

    uh actually no, I have shot a sheep on the side of the road as it had just been hit by a car and was badly hurt and going nuts running all over the road, I dropped it with my 357 then went and told the local cops what I did, the response I got was "cheers thanks for that you saved us coming out to do it"
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Slightly different to running around with an MSSA on the side of the road desperately keen to shoot an able-bodied animal. I doubt that'd go well.
