A bunch of years ago some slick talkers conned a bunch of ranchers that Emu eggs and meat were going to compete with the beef market. Turns out that never happened but there were a lot of Emus on the ground. The cost of feeding the birds was getting to be a problem and most were turned loose. I have seen them at the 777 Ranch and have eaten the meat. You know how everything weird tastes like chicken? Well, Emu tastes like ribeye or T-bone. Red meat!

My concern is that it may run like the wind into some of the toughest tracking thicket a man could enter and I'd never find it. It has LOTS of feathers so the actual body mass is disguised. I'd rather not stick it in a meat zone either. Maybe someone from Australia will have some idea. My lease is bow only so a good old fashion shotgun blast is out.
