Kangaroo

[piggy]

Where I hunt it is common to see several dozen while hunting and although for us Aussies we don't think anything of it.
Thought my fellow Trad Ganger's might like to see.

Stocky little bloke, Paul. Good photo.

What does kangaroo meat taste like? He's got some good-sized drumsticks.

[straitera]

Much obliged for the photo. Do you guys hunt them? Eat them? What do they taste like?

[greg fields]

Don't see many of those here in PA...

[Benny Nganabbarru]

'Roos taste a bit like wallabies, but we're not allowed to hunt them.

Back about five years ago a fully grown kangaroo was found and captured near Dodgeville Wisconsin.  As far as I know they never did figure out where it came from.

Fascinating creatures!  Thanks for a cool pic!

I'll bite. What do Wallabies taste like? Kangaroo right?

Keeping the Faith!

Nothing ruins a good stalk like a 'roo busting out of the brush right in front of you (and your quarry)!

Thank you Piggy for posting such a cool picture.

I assume, based on the color that it's a gray?

He looks "buff" for sure.

God bless,Mudd

We can't hunt them but you can buy the meat, love the old kanga banga its bit like beef but not nearly as fatty.

God bless,
Ari

do they sell roo leather there? I have a roo strop for My straight razor but might want to get some more.

One of the neatest things for me in Oz was seeing the wallabies.  The first several times you can't believe what you are seeing.  I have lots of video of them hopping around.

Not only do they wreck stalks by spooking game, it will about make you crap yourself when you are stalking buffalo in the high grass and one of these outfits takes off like a bulldozer 20 feet away.  Talk about clearing the old arteries for you!

Anyone remember the phrase
"Hoppin' Mc'hamburgers" from years ago?  Supposedly we ate a bit of kangaroo here in the US disgiusied as beef.

Roo meat is yum yum i had a good feed when i went over there to see my Brotherinlaw but they are not aloud to hunt em.

Roo is pretty good, rich and lean, much like venison.  It's wonderful on the BBQ.  Only licensed (professional) shooters are allowed to kill them on a cull basis, usually off farms or golf courses where they are a nuisance.  There is no "sport" hunting of them allowed.  Overall, not much of the meat is used for human consumption, most of it goes into pet food.  Many, many of them are hit by cars and most vehicles have 'roo bars on the front to limit the damage.  Seeing one running (hopping?) full tilt through the bush is pretty amazing, they can cover some major ground in a hurry!
