    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    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.

    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.
