Fast food. Nice, minimal colateral damage too, nice and neat.

I hit a big red west of Bowen once in my old HJ45 cruiser, bull bar stopped him dead but he slipped through, took out the bonnet, radiator, widscreen and cab roof.

Needless to say I needed a tow back into town.

Mate, Kangaroo tail is some of the best tucker you can get. Especially cooked in a camp oven. Will be cooking some soon so will post some Pics. Roo rissoles are also fantastic as well as steaks. The lean meat does tend to give one a bout of flatulance however Wink

Makes you wonder why they bothered introducing cattle and sheep Down Under. Used to wonder the same about North America with all those bison roaming around.

Then I tasted bison!

Shocked

The truth is Roo's were not as plentyful at the time of European settlement in OZ.

The popular opinion of the Australian Aborigine with a roo over his shoulder at anytime is a myth.

The natives here were mainly fruit, seed & nut eaters. They also ate lizards, rats, fish, mice, bugs, etc. Interestng to note that once there were giant roos, 22 foot long goannas, giant wombats, 2 other species of flightless birds bigger than the extinct NZ Moa. All these former continent dwellers had one flaw when man arrived here 40,000 years ago.

They didn't run FAST enough............. meaning they had none or very few natural predators. Roos and Emus can step out when spooked.

The reason why Kangaroos have only become prolific, indeed plague proportions is since the advent of permanant water in the outback areas, i.e. windmills & troughs.

We have professional roo shooters who we allow to shoot on our places for nothing. They are doing us a service, less competition for what native flora that we have left. Under Govt control of coarse.

The price a Roo shooter recieves is 85c kg for pet food, 110c for human consumption. Again its the middleman makiing the money. A good night for a roo shooter is 1 ton. But the man has to cover some ground to get it, rough ground at that so its only the dedicated that make money.

Beef and sheep were introduced because they are the most flavoursome meats. The latter, merino sheep had the added bous of fine wool which at the time fetched the best prices in the London wool exchange. British wool being a much coarser fibre. The Chinese however now buy most of Australias wool. The price is not worth the production and the industry is now in free fall.

I hit an emu in SA near Liegh Creek, luckily I just hit the neck not the body. Once in Canada I was riding a Honda VF750 from Vancouver to Calgary overnight. Near a place called Rogers Pass I came around a corner and saw an elk or a moose in the middle of the road. I was doing 100+ kmh, and I saw it for a split second as I passed it, it was at least twice the height of me on a bike, if I hit it I would've been f***ed. No roo bar on a Honda!

I've had a roo come through the drivers side window, only got through 1/2 way however. The momentum of the vehicle hitting his body flung him back out again thankfully for me. He just hit my back as I was leaning over the steering wheel after I relised his trajectory. Bowed out the drivers side window frame like a boomerang. Luckily the motor car was a station hack.
