Why didn't they just hire Nugent to do this? It would only take him a couple of hours.

,,, a few years back the Aussies shipped kangaroo meat to the US as "beef". It was discovered and their export industry took a hit for quite a while. I haven't tried kangaroo but I fully intend to and know it's on sale here in New Zealand. Obviously, it's a red meat and not too far off what beef is like, in my estimation.

I don't know how they taste but I know their hides make the best rawhide for making braided items.

"Animal welfare activists have said they were prepared to stand between shooters and kangaroos if they deem that the animals are being unnecessarily killed. "

"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five. Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind have lost track myself. but bein' this is a 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question.......do i feel lucky?..........well do ya punk?"

Never mind PETA! Hey, Nugent, are you on tour? We have an assignment for you. Will make a great new chapter for your new book Kill it and Grill It.

Maybe I am strange, but I do not understand why an Army would hire hunters to do shooting for them, even for kangaroos. Seems to me an excellent opportunity for realistic live-fire practice. If not line troops, then snipers.
