some one shot one of my horses with a 22 rimfire- probably from the road and at night, none the less we had a vet check him because of the appearance of a mysterious hole in his shoulder..the vet could feel the bullet with her forceps, but suggested it would be more traumatic to remove it than to leave it. we just irrigated the wound to make it heal from the bottom out. the moron that shot my horse probably thought he was a hunter- and putting any restrictions on him- like not shooting horses at night - is just going to compromise my day in the woods.
