Illegal Doco on TV2.

[peasea]

And rule 1 with covert camera operations,make sure the bloody sun doesn't hit the lens there by giving the game away.Seems a bit dodgy though,almost like the "rustlers" were tipped off to burn the shed down,insurance claim maybe,firey's knew it was arson,not a bad way to get payout,cynical moir.

Would be interested on how widespread this epidemic is,losing 1800 sheep is pretty well gutting granted,not much cops can do as the buggers are well gone,but hell when a truck is required,numerous guys and dogs needed,the thieves are brazen.

It had to be a bunch of sportsbike riders; they could carry two cattlebeast each on a Gixxer and make haste.

That show is shit, but we knew that anyway. Didn't we? Does anyone truly believe that a .22 with silencer and subsonic ammo will put a cattlebeast down?

.22 Magnum is weapon for a couple guys who do it for living.

Get up close enough .22 ok,but silencer not needed,wasn't any less noise with it on anyway.And the dick head reporter said "I don't feel comfy now"as they drove around the paddock prior to shooting,wtf you're doing a doco on illegal meat,did he think the beast killed itself.

Magnum...yep. Packs much more wallop. Problem is, need subsonic load for silencer to be any good. Same as for ordinary .22LR. Subsonic loads just wouldn't have the hitting power. Both types of cartridge using high velocity would do it, placed just right. Difficult in the rustler's circumstance, though.

Using 40 grain .22 should suffice if experienced and close enough,these aren't wild animals.And will be despatched with knife immediately.

And watching the pictures of cattle to build up suspense was a laugh,showed a paddock of bulls,great idea guys lets rustle us some 2 yr old bulls for meat.

A .22LR can be used to kill cows providing you know where to shoot them (my veterinarian sister explained this to me, I didn't believe her at first but she has actually done it several times).

A suppressor makes perfect sense in this setting. Suppressors DO work with supersonic ammo, they suppress the muzzle report all the same. The only difference is that they can't do anything about the noise the bullet makes while traveling, which is why they aren't as good for hunting when they are used to avoid spooking other game and allowing possible follow up shots on the same or different targets.

The other reasons to use a suppressor are to avoid needing hearing protection and to avoid pissing off neighbours. Both of these are perfectly valid reasons and are why they are used by the guy who kills/skins/quarters/hauls away the home kill we get done.

Of course, the show is utter shite and I didn't bother watching any further episodes of it, but that kind of goes without saying, really...
