RE: Emu
Scow, been there done that this year. We saw a wild emu on our hunting property and my dad shot it with his bow. He hit it a little infront of the thigh and a little high, and the bird went down quickly, after running maybe 20 yards. I was told if I saw an emu not to shoot it, because those things are no fun to skin! Hope this helped, and I hope you get your big turkey (that's about all an emu is) with a quick, humane kill. One last thing, a co-worker of my dad's hunts with us and he just moved down from New Hampshire... he said our deer are small but our turkeys are huge!!!

RE: Emu
My hunting buddy saw the Emu on his way off the ranch this morning and called me on the radio to let me know. I made tracks for the area and lurked about but didn't see it.
Thanks for posting the photo of the Emu, our Austrailian friend! I cant get over the mental image of your method of EMu hunting! Probably bust out laughing if I tried it!
I'll skin all day if that is what it takes to get to the good part!

RE: Emu
they're not real small...my neighbor has one in a pen that keeps getting out...the last time it got out he caught it behind my house by throwing a lasso around its neck....man if was fookin hallarious. the thing went nuts it was jumping straight up in the air and yanking the guy about 5 ft off of the ground. think i would have used a longer rope....LOL
