    I have shot 1/2 dozen sheep from 50-450yds with nosler custom comps which are as close as you'd get to a FMJ and from memory recovered at least 2 maybe 3 projectiles.
    And YES I did have permission to shoot them and all but 1 grandma sheep ended up in my belly

    I just dont think they have looked that hard for bullets, its not that important. Probably had a dig around in a couple of sheep and then dumped the lot in a hole

    exactly.
    vet said bullet wounds, who is goin to pay him or her to autopsy hundreds of sheep to find a projectile?

    The vets a keen hunter, so knows his bullet wounds I would think and he spent days out there doin autopsies on the sheep. Metal detectors have been used in paddocks and in the hole where the sheep were thrown. Plenty of rumours still getting round but still nothing confirmed.

    I'm pretty sure it "a doctors a failed vet" and a "DENTIST is a failed doctor".

    If it is unicorns at least it will make my daughters very happy.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Y'know unicorns arose from a mistranslation of oxen in the bible?

    I've seen heaps of hornless unicorns around here, I think they cut the horn off at birth so they don't stab sheep. Must be a bit smarter then the "mainlanders"

    I think one of my trailcams recorded the offenders:

    Name: unicorn-man.jpg Views: 701 Size: 104.5 KB


    This is from the second time:

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.
