wing shooting

[wrenchman]

Do you guys have any upland game birds I use to do it a lot when I had better knees Oct 1 was grouse and archery deer for a week on state land from a tent

[Westy]

GI Day Wrenchman you must be in the northern state say like Iowa or Michigan????? I hunted up in Idaho a few years back loved it but those hills are a heart breaker!!!LOL

[wrenchman]

Michigan my home state is rather flat compared to idaho.

Not much of that sort of thing down here. Most of our ground birds can't fly! Reminds me of an old poem.
THE EMU.
cannot fly.
cannot sing.
Might as well shoot.
The f****g thing.

[Ken]

It's all about duck hunting here.

[Harts]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Duck is delicious!

upland... like land birds....
Quail, those pesky little buggers fun to shoot.and tasty..
We have Pheasants, limited though

There are dove and pigeons that are not protected but they prefer the the cities and suburbs and shooties in the burbs are kind of frowned upon.

We have Snipe, at least according to my old ammo packages , but they 'gained' ptoection some time ago.

[wrenchman]

Can you guys hunt emu?

That would be cool. So I guess if you said it tasted like chicken that would be a big chicken.

Man that would be cool how big would the roaster have to be to bake that bird.

[mahna]

Not allowed to hunt emu here (not allowed to hunt any native animals).

Only introduced animals and declared pests are to be hunted here.

Deer, pig, goat, fox, rabbit, wild dogs, feral cats, kangaroos in pest control situations. I think that's everything?

[wrenchman]

That sucks

[1290]

You can hunt natives with a permit....

[mahna]

You can hunt natives with a permit....

That's what I meant by "in pest control situations", e.g. kangaroos.

Didn't know Emu were a pest for anyone though?

Or can you get a permit to hunt for meat?

I am deeply apologetic about the emu joke and my suggestion that it should be shot. Disgraceful behavior I admit. Must be my western NSW background coming out. he he..

On a more serious note...Westy, you forgot about the feather cloud when they first hit the bull bar.

.......and, for all those abroad and elsewhere the Emu is on our National Coat of Arms, is a protected animal, no you cannot shoot it, however, an occupier of lands may be able to get a permit to harm emu if there is a case and evidence of;
Damage to crops,
Competition for pasture and/or water points,
Damage to property e.g. fence, infrastructure,
Causing erosion,
Hazard to aircraft or vehicles (aircraft????),
Disease or human health management,
Aggressive animal threatening human safety....look out!!! those buggers can really give you a nasty peck....

[wrenchman]

I don't think I would want to piss one off.

[Col]

Mauser,

Can tell you that pissed off emu is not a pleasant creature and with his toenails is not pretty savage on your flesh if "got".

Everyone seemed to forget the good old galah. Great shooting, unprotected in western NSW but crap to eat.

Remember put in boiling water with a house brick. When the brick is soft throw out the galah and eat the brick.

[Swarm]

Or can you get a permit to hunt for meat?

I dunno about the permit or pest stuff but it definitely tastes good

Some of those big birds... You see YouTube videos of cassowary attacks. The people on the receiving end get f***ed up!
