Was talking to a teacher the other day and he said each year kids at our school are getting worse and worse as they know no one can really do anything about it and they are learning that from a younger age each year. Sending them out isn't a punishment. I'd get my self kicked out when I didnt feel like doing anything get sent to another class chill out and draw pictures. Now Im not saying bring back the caine but if I was getting a smack on the ass, just like an electric fence I aint gonna touch it again...

The vetting system doesn't always work. How many of you can honestly say you don't know someone who you think should be questioned again about their reasons for owning?
For those of you still insisting on the poison theory on these sheep, poison doesn't poke holes in things.

Sure they weren't just using a real estate sign for a backing board? Pretty common on our range.

Just re read your post.

If those sheep really were shot then it's a sad day .
If they were shot, all licensed law abiding firearm owners should be really pissed off about this , in the eyes of the unknowing , uneducated , unquestioning general public utter stupidity like that re-enforces their misguided beliefs that gun owners are all " Wacko's "

If they were shot ?
Seems bloody strange that a definite cause of death wasn't officially released within hours of this coming to the attention of the media .
If there is any suggestion that a firearm has been used in a crime , the police take that very seriously , and police resources ( forensics etc ) would be involved immediately .
Hope the farmer and his family are alright .

Surprisingly Zombies are real, the official American government's CDC Centre for Disease control have included them for "Preparedness".

CDC - Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response: Zombies

The original article had a professional opinion from a vet that they were shot didn't it?

Quote from news report -
his vet confirming the head and leg injuries were all from bullet wounds.

Quote from same report -
"It's quite difficult. They've left no cartridges at all in the paddocks, can't find one. And the vets have opened up a lot of carcasses and can't find any bullets or bullet holes," says Mr Stackhouse.


How is that official conformation that they were shot ?

FARKIN METAL DETECTOR!

That said again:rolleyes: it is entirely possible that if they were shot(and that's what my guess is) and the criminal/s involved went to the trouble to catch brass they may have also gone to the trouble to reload perhaps wax subsonic slugs, but more likely using fmj hence entry and exit wounds on head of survivors.

FARKING METAL DETECTOR! they are cheap and effective and work!

i think its safe to say they were shot, dont think any reports have actually been questioning the cause of death... just this forum :wtfsmilie:

they have probably deemed that finding a projectile is not actually going to help find the culprits so havent gone to far down that track

Awaiting the Zombies:P

yeah i reckon, but don't think we can rule out the unicorns running around poking holes in the poor little sheep yet

could be @kiwigreg shooting them from nelson with his suppressed 50cal???

Are the heads still on the sheep? if so we can rule out kiwigreg with the .50

In the Campbell Live video they showed 3 surviving sheep, which had entry and exit wounds in their heads. One had it just below the eye - seems being shot is the most logical assumption.

Don't be silly, the black panther is in Canterbury not Otago.

Local saleyards had a special sale yesterday, sheep donated and some extremely high prices paid for them, all profits went to the stackhouse's. Think the sale made 22 grand and further 10 grand or so donated from nz women farmers.
Peter was so at the local hunting comp prize giving on sunday night, which was really good to see him supporting it.

Great to see that sort of community support.

He is an anti like button old fart mate. Check out his response in below thread :D

Enjoyed reading your post Tussock.

Things seam more weird than usual though, including the 20 people brawl in Oamaru last weekend.

I agree with what you say in general Tussock. In my experience, adults are slow to step up and help out with Scouts and the like.
I am not however convinced that this event is down to kids. Unless they have a very generous pocketmoney allowance, I cant see your average teen being able to afford night vision gear etc

Nah I never do that. I prefer to respond. I. The two years I have been on the forum I have only given 54 likes and I swear on my old mans grave that they have all just been me inadvertently touching the like by mistake.

That equates to 20 posts every day Rushy. You need help :)

True Pengy. It is a twenty per day habit.

This is an article in todays ODT, take it as you will. Sheep killer likely young person doing it for 'thrill' | Otago Daily Times Online News : Otago, South Island, New Zealand & International News There are three points about FMJs made in it this that is utter bollocks and I will guote it.

"Expanding projectiles could be bought from a sports shop, while full metal jacket solids would be much more difficult to obtain."

''There wouldn't be many people who would buy them other than people who belong to gun clubs,'' he said.

If it was solid ammunition, the culprits were likely to be using a military-style semiautomatic (MSSA) firearm.


On the complete no firearms knowledge whatsoever scale, that is 100% complete bollocks from a so called expert. Combined with the dribble about reloading I feel it let the otherwise fair opinion piece down.

Obviously never heard of a brass catcher either.

Well, I would agree about the solid ammo, and the link with young people and MSSA.

Older people (like me) were well put off solid ammo through our experiences with ex military 303 ammo. Generally, most hunters have no need or desire to buy or use the stuff.

The resurgence of solid ammo has been hand in hand with the sks etc sort of guns and cheap Russian ammo. My subjective view is that hunters and older people have no particular interest in owning or using it, save for those involved in military type target shooting.

If you're really onto it you'll catch it as it comes out. That'll save the bending and the "errrr, my back" :D

I can assure you that plenty of 'older' people get a buzz out of sending a large amount of lead down the range, even more so if the rifle has the ability too 'burp'...just that the older one's like the casings curving in an arc...younger one's are just being 'tidy kiwi's'.

pfftt.. The professors's theory seams to be based on speculation, contradictions and wishful thinking... I wonder what his log-in name is? :D ..

The unsub is supposed to be young and stupid or old and demented, employed or going to school, stupid but smart enough to use a brass catcher... sounds like the professor fits his profile perfectly :D ... irony too funny

I thought Professors were supposed to be the experts? Seems like the Professor is as dumb as the "bloody young" and "bloody stupid" criminal. Reading that article just pissed me off. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I go to the neighbours place and shoot all their sheep!
