Owner blamed in emu chase

Tastes like chicken, but bigger (much bigger). HTH :-)

<lol> Not at all... ;-)
Emus are a running animal and the meat is NOTHING like poultry!
It's a red meat like beef, but no marbeling since it's still bird meat.

I've eaten a lot of it, and the closest I can come is Venison.

I still have a source for FREE emu meat in the Austin/San Antonio area
if you are willing to work for the meat. Slaughter 2, keep one.

That's the deal.

Unfortunately, the truth didn't make as good a joke. ;-)

I'd take you up on the offer if I still lived in Central Texas.
I'm not really sure how you'd safely kill an emu. (shotgun to the head?)
They are a big target, but a tiny little brain, and the head doesn't
hold still. I don't think they are as dangerous as ostriches, so maybe
you could get close enough to use a sword...

Best regards,

Heh...reminds me of the opening sequence subtitles to "Monty Python and the
Holy Grail":

A Møøse once bit my sister...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end
of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an
Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo
Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

We apologise for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible have been
sacked.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for
sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

Bob

<grins> True...
I just feel compelled for some reason.
Guess it's because I deal with it so much?

Actually, Paul goes for a heart shot. It's more peaceful, they struggle
less and don't bruise up the meat as much.
They are his birds, so he does the actual killing.

I've shot emus in Andrea's pens. I aim for the head, right behind the
eye. The head is as large as your fist so is a good target from 50 yards.
I seldom miss. ;-)

head wound, caused by an emu pecking on,the head of a not so cautious
farm workers.

I was once pecked in the head by a pterodactyl. Is that as common?
