Well that's over half this forum

Yeah, he's a professor of criminology, but Greg Newbold is also a convicted drug user who did time behind bars. "The Big Huey" was an interesting read, but I never forget it's an autobiography. There's that saying "there's nothing worse than a reformed smoker", perhaps the same can be said about a reformed criminal... He just comes across as such a feckin' know it all, and yet he obviously dosent.

I see a lot of people taking the piss in this thread but a farmer has had their livelihood cut back severely and some dickhead/s is/are running around thinking that it's ok to shoot the shit out of someone's stock.

I hope that they get the bastards and do it smartish.

Whoever is doing it should never be allowed near firearms again - these sort of red flags need to be noticed - if there is another Aramoana type incident then we as a shooting community are screwed so we need to look out for the signs



And city slickers taking the piss out of farmers - wtf? Who do you always ask for hunting access but farmers?

Sorry for the rant, please go back to taking nothing seriously until it happens to you

So, who is it that isn’t taking the killing of these sheep seriously?

I’ve seen the piss being taken out of some academic. That’s all though.
And this city slicker farmed for longer than you have probably been alive.

I will let you kill the lamb tomorrow to prove your innocence as I are not comfortable of picking the fattest lamb out of the flock

This is how it started in my home country, now all Semi auto rifles, sound mderators, any magazine holding more than 5 rounds, night vision gear and reloading ammo is illegal.
Because some pricks where violating the FA law. After a few fatalities and accidents with a few antigun politician in the parlament we recieved the new FA law pack.
Guns had to be handed in to the Cops to be destroyed.

There is a reason why I left

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

There is a young guy who shots a boundary to a farm we shoot . He's got night vision , in conjunction with a black lens on a hd spot light . Unfortunately we have noticed quite a decline in deer numbers . I'm guessing it works well enough

If night vision and thermal was available when i was late teens early 20s I would have had 2 of both, all I had to spend my money on was beer and toys.

now i am grown up i can hardly afford ammo !

It's interesting that these sheep were 'shot' but not even ONE bullet recovered....
We had a lab and German Shepard that went on a killing spree, 30 dead sheep that we thought had been shot until the dogs turned up 3 days later and were 'pink' in colour.

Doom gloom night vision semi autos... But no bullets...

dogs cause entry and exit wounds to the head?

An entry and exit wound caused by a bullet that none have been found...
I'm not saying they wernt shot, just that there hasn't been a bullet found from said shootings of 300 sheep.
Short of exploding bunnies, I reacon I've recovered 50% + of bullets from animals I've shot.

Shot many with FMJ's?
