I've watched heaps of CSI lately, so I've profiled this character as being, quite young, fucking stupid, has access to a farmers gun (tut tut), played heaps of shooting video games and doesn't give a fuck about people or animals. I reckon they want to look close at hand, maybe a mate of a farmers son, a local farm hand, a townie kid on holiday at the Uncles farm etc.
That is, if they have actually been shot - I know first hand how reporters twist the truth to juice up a story.
I am merely speculating of course, and I know I probably shouldn't, but this is way out there - to hard not to have an opinion
That's why I mentioned FMJ 223 ammoQuote:

EDIT: After reading everything that came up on google search of "sheep shot dead oamaru" I have no seen two news reports alike and cant make any sense of it. In some stories the Cocky says the Vet didn't find any evidence of gunshot wounds, yet in others says the sheep "had been shot in the head and some had legs shot off"
Fucking Media!!!
This maybe a bit more accurate than 3news.

Pretty bloody scary and terrible. It will be a huge loss for him on a small farm only having 2400 ewes

Have to be a special type of sick to fire at least 190 aimed shots into a mob of sheep, killing and maiming, for no good reason. Same kind of sick that might torture puppies or hurt kids. Hard to figure why People can be so messed up. Don't anyone say video games again either, jeez, I have played them all, including some Defence Force WETS? varieties, and it is my opinion that if they affect you to that extent, you were fucked to begin with.
Something odd going on, the vet is a bloody good one, so dont think he would miss diagnose something so big.
The farms out of the way and to have this happen 2 nights running doesn't seem random.
Im working out the that way tomorrow so will no doubt here more about it.
I hope it doesn't turn out to be someone with an MSSA and 30rnd mags
Did they ever find any projectiles?

Seems to me like the reporters and papers involved have a hidden interest!!
I have not been able to find any updates online, all the news stories are the same ones I read yesterday. Useless Media, start a big yarn then walk away.
@subs did you find out any 'real' news today?
Once had 3- odd sheep killed on two farms we were doing security for, that's 60 sheep. Did initial investigation and came up with a very high powered projectile in a small calibre. A lot of the sheep were only wounded, and I had to put them down. All though I couldn't prove it, my investigation's came back to a young male, single parent, spoilt little shit who was not very socially adept. Yet the split up parents thought it was ok for this kid to take a rifle and go walkie's for wat eva reasons. They financially supported his fire arm interest, This profile, thou stereo typed fits. N.B job not signed off yet
Most reliable info ive had so far is .223 and bow or cross bow done the damage, and sounds like there may have been a dope crop found out there a few months ago.
This is not gospel and could still turn out to bullshit but seems to be the consistent story coming out of there.
That is. Lot of work for a cross bow and you would have though there would be a bolt or two not recovered
It would be alot of work with a cross bow, shes all just bush telegraph at the moment and nothing has been confirmed.
Only thing we know for a fact is the cocky is a real good bugger and looks like the community is ready to help out.
the better story will be what happens to the wanker if them southerners get to em before the cops!!!
Years ago I once shot a couple of pig dogs on the Takaka hill that had killed 148 sheep. The wounds on the sheep looked like bullet wounds and it wasn`t till we heard the dogs bailing on another part of the farm did we realiase that it wasn`t idiots shooting from the road.
Just my opinion but I`d be asking a hunter to look at the wounds and not nesassarly a vet.
The only good thing to come out of my story was I got shooting rights offered to me for the whole property any time I liked for about 20 years and my own key.
A friend's neighbour who lives just over the hill from there in Livingstone, has had a few horses shot with a 22 over the past 3 years.
There're some bloody little shit-tards out there.Quote:

Wendon Station not that long ago, almost same issue.
Heard the odd story about poachers angry about getting trespassed going back and shooting sheep, but you'd think they'd know who to look for if that was the case.
Ah a conspiracy Dundee. Shades of Kennedy and 9/11. It could have been a newby at the IRD doing a head count and the wooly buggers wouldn't stand still.Quote:

Oh, and on the matter of "poachers" the Norwest News, our local weekly blurb has this about Woodhill Forest and I am certain that some of you already will know about the Scorpion.
Another 15 sheep found dead this morning on a farm near where this happened, no one has said whether they where shot or not yet.
It was on three news tonight. The reporter said they were all shotQuote:
