Rhea Bird, who's hunted shot and ate one?

Dang Blake, those are some beautiful plates.

If I shoot one I am totally going to do a euro mount of it. That would almost be as cool ask my monkey euro

I shot a couple emus with a bow around kerville. Made jerky out of one and just cooked the other. I thought it was pretty good. Should be about the same as a rhea. One of my buddies raided two of them on that ranch. Found them when they were chicks. His daughter named them "dia" and "rrhea." It was pretty funny!

[TildenHunter]

There are a bunch of them down in Uruguay/Argentina. When we would have time off between groups coming to duck hunt, the guides would ride around on dirt bikes and snipe em with crapy old .22s. Good times.

This is dia and rrhea with my buddies jack Russell. They were buddies.

Hahahahahahaha



Reminds of a time in college. Buddy's uncle fell in to the emu trap. Ended up turning loose 20-30 of them. We decide we are going to catch and kill one to try it out. They were pretty tame, you could walk to within 10-15 feet of them. Another uncle had said their necks were pretty fragile, so I figured just lasso it and yank, and it would break the neck. NOT. Got the rope around it, slowly tightened up the slack, and snapped it hard. The bird flipped towards us and came up kicking like a champion kangaroo boxer. Had a helluva dispatching it in that perturbed state, as we had no firearm with us. I really wish it would have been videoed.

Haha that would make you famous!!

They are pretty hard to rope.

I found them fairly easy to rope. What you do is get one to run past you on a fence line and then throw a Hoolahan loop over it and let the loop fall over the body then get your slack real fast to cinch up them legs, boom, got em down and tied.

I had emu and it tasted like nothing.
