Big Bird Down
« on: April 02, 2014, 09:42:00 PM »


 

Free-range low fence Texas Emu.  Didn't see a turkey today but I did connect with this guy.  Bisch says emu is nasty....my other buddy says when fried it tastes like chicken.  We'll see.

Full length GT 3555, standard insert, Magnus feathers, and 175 grain Woodmans
10 yard shot, no pass through, dropped where it was shot.
Ground hunting, ghillie jacket.

Congrats again, Bill!

I still say those legs would make one heck of a nice back scratcher!

And you should have emptied a can of bright yellow krylon on him before you took the pic!    :laughing:    :laughing:    :laughing:

Dang!  I was expecting a turkey, and when I saw the arrow on the leg it kinda surprised me!

Congrats on the bird!

Cool trophy.  A buddy of mine once had them.  I had no problem with the taste.  Red meat......looked like a ribeye steak.
