    New upland game bird - Good eating

    I was up the back of the farm last night and instead of the normal peacocks, pheasants etc I cam across this big bugger

    so I wipped back down to the house, got my shotgun and sprinted back up to the top. It was still there

    so I gave it both barrels of number five. Never even scratched the mongrel.

    What the hell is it?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Rushy Attenborough esq try slugs next time you see one !

    I think it is a lesser spotted stuffed moa, but best to check with the experts at Te Papa.... And careful Rushy, they are apparently carnivorous...

    Looks like I have stuffed up and somehow posted this twice. If one of the moderators could delete this thread and leave the other one it would be good

    Rushy, I'm far too polite to agree with such statements.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Some one nearby have an Emu farm? There's a couple farming them just up the road here ,very good eating apparently.The eggs are great for cooking too. That bird might be worth a few buck Rushy ,wouldn't want a kick from it though .
