My story took place several years ago in the finger lakes region in the town of Groton NY. Could it be that there has been more than one kangaroo running around NY during hunting season. LOL.

A couple years ago a buddy of mine was sitting on stand watching a little 6 point check a scrape about 25 yards from his tree. He looked down the field line and saw a bighorn ram. It came in and chased that little 6 point away. This was in southeast MO. There's an exotic animal farm about a mile away from his place. Not sure if they ever got it back. I hunt a 1/2 mile from him but never saw it.

Just as if you shoot a cow you can be liable to the owner, it is the same (at least in NY) that you can be liable on an exotic species. Several years ago when I was motorcycling I had a mature bull Elk walk across the road in front of me. That was a shocker! I was aware that a landowner kept exotic species nearby. I hope he caught up with it before deer season opened...it would have been tempting!

I had a horse walk within 5 steps of me just yesterday before seeing me and bolting off in the other direction. Five minutes later two red foxes came by at about 15 paces. I guess I was concealed a little better than I thought lol.
