Im under the assumption that doc would never allow us to hunt something thats endemic and at risk of going back extinct. In my mind they would never be able to be hunted, ever
having them in the bush and not being able to hunt them would make them a liability if you have been face to face with a hormonal ostrich male Im sure it would be similar but without the fence to protect you, I was told by a farmer once one tried kick him and snapped a post off at the ground, another farmer he knew had his guts scragged and his guts fell out
Iv seen an emu south of the mungamuka gorge across a fence from me while out pig hunting on private land
I cant believe any of the reasons the people i hunt with tell me with the amount of bullshit that gets spun into "funny stories"
