May need to pony up some more dough. Before anyone takes aim at my pun, or comes gunning for me, hold your horses and be stable. Laughter is good for the soul. Give it a shot.
Do you think you are funny?
This is such a senseless act. Hope they solve this.
I bet it was a deer hunter tired of sitting all day in a deer stand looking for something that moves to shoot.
If it was shot with a .22, it was probably a kid - deer hunters don't use a .22.
A deer hunter with a .22? You betcha.
this is the work of meth head deer headlighters.
they use a .22 because of the minimal report.
they go out on christmas when a lot of people are shooting fireworks and gun shots blend right in.
they work that area because deer there have little to no hunting pressure so they downright tame.
they can't find a deer so they thrill kill livestock.
Deer hunters don't hunt movement. They hunt deer.
8:20, I've never heard of anyone hunting deer with a .22.
How many deer hunters do you know that hunt with a .22 caliber rifle?
They're putting a lot of effort and resources into this. Ballistics? Heck if JPD put 1/10 this effort into solving murders, they'd cut the homicide rate in half.
A .22 is a interesting choice. Low noise, but it took a well placed shot to take down the horse. I'm betting these were either kids missing around or a jealous lover taking out his/her anger on these horses.
