    So get this. The land owner of property I hunt has an Emu, and this Emu of his is very vicious and just recently escaped from his pen and attacked a few people. Now the landowner said that if he catches him he is going to shoot him. Then the landowner said that if I see him he wants me to shoot it on the spot with anything I got. :rock:. Does anyone have any similar storys or have any idea how to hunt an Emu? If so let me know or post your story on this thread. :)

    I think I saw a new banner on here the other day advertising "emu #69". It's made by tinks and is supposed to drive a rutting emu nuts as he searches for a receptive emu in heat.

    My tactic would be to dress up in a big bird costume, dump emu #69 all over myself and knife the giant bird when he gets close enough.

    But seriously tho, no clue how to hunt an emu. Good luck and be sure to post hero shots if you do seal the deal.

    Never heard of anything like that, just an aggressive bull that got loose and tore through a gas station and the police put him down. I would look up where its heart and lungs are so I would know where to shoot it.

    This is funny, love the pic, lol.
    Back in the 90's I had a neighbor who had a son that raised emu's and sent his mom and dad a pair to make money off the eggs. They kept them in a pen behind the house but they would never lay eggs. One day one of them got out, I was walking through the kitchen and saw something run past the kitchen window and I was like WTF was that?! Ran to the living room and it was the escaped emu. Called the neighbor and he came over to try to catch it, cornered it by the shed and it kicked and cut the crap out of his arm and got away off my property. We chased that damn bird all over this part of the county, finally one of the neighbors (a big bastage maybe 260 pounds) and another neighbor cornered it next to a fence row and tried to wrestle it to long enough t oget a rope on it. Feet got tangled up and the big guy fell on it.

    Apparently emus can't withstand 260 pounds falling flat on top of them as it killed it dead as a flipping hammer! The owner had told us all it was worth a couple grand I'm sure with that thought running through this big guys mind he panicked and out of desparation decided on the spur of the moment to try to give it mouth to mouth resuscitation. I drove up just as he grabbed the birds mouth and started locking lips to beak....it was a small tradgedy but I swear it was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

    Come to find out the reason they would not lay eggs was because they were both males, ROFL!

    It shouldn't be too hard to identify the tracks. My question is... how do you know when they are perfectly broadside? Then where do you shoot?
