 Every chance we get round here ! THere are several wild herds round SA & although I belive that in the Eastern States there are controls in place for Deer hunting. I'm sure Allan could help out here ? It's a bit like Camels over here their Bloody Feral & although there's big money in live export . They areclassed as Feral & only a normal hunting permit is needed to shoot the Damn things& as there is a estemated 700,000 roaming around there is no  season ! Though the average hunter will never see oneor make the mistake of going through a outfitter  to shoot one & pay several thousand dollars for the priverlage !

Hey Dave, Had one Emu eat some top water bass baits, kinda wonderd why he was bleeding from both ends, The one we got left, we call him dum dum.
I had them eat a half of a 5 gal. bucket of crawfish one time. and we had a couple
that would wait by the waters edge for the fish food to floot close enough for them to get.

  My Oath I was Ok ! That's why God created little Brothers! They can run like a whippet with a Daddy Emu chasing them !

    We had the same thing happen over here with both Ostich & Deer Farming (about 30,000 for breeding Pairs) then as everybody got into the market it went a burton! We have a Herd of wild Fallow deer in the hills  due to a Farmer going bust & just relased them! They are classed as a Feral animal in SA & are shot out of Hand ! Mohair Goats were also the rage for several years same thing happened though!  Ems have a nasty habit of trying to eat  anything that takes their fancey ! Some frends of ours had a Pet emu by the name of Gus & he once came close to being  sent  to the big Paddock in the sky after he tore off & swallowed several  buttons of a very expensive Jacket my Mum had just brought!

Yea same over here with the Emu farming every one put their money into the breeding and slaughtering but no one put the meet out to the publice to try
so it went bust when the breeder market got saturated,Emus were going for $10,000 to upwards as much as $20,000 a peice the high end being the ones that laid more eggs than normal,  I had 12 of them at one time ,man talk about tear the naighbors
dog up! they were great come Deer season when the hunting clubs dogs came on my property, the emus would tear them up,the ones that got away never did come back.
I told my wife we should feed them wearing hunter orange so they would go after the trespassers in the back. they would run you over for a white plastic bucket,them the
horses, goats, cows, and sheep. man i could not pick up a bucket around hear with out gettin/causing a stampead. we still have one emu left he has run of the pasture.
he kinda sneaks up on ya when im out shooting on my range,or he will dump my ammo out and try to eat it gotta watch him he will try to eat any thing odd.

it was pretty good. not much there for the effort though especially if you have to
feed the critters. they eat as much as a cow in one year. its cheaper to raise the cow
or steer for slauter. in my opinoin. what have you  to say on this ?????

  I would say at a guess the M38 you've brought had a worn muzzle & instead of cutting off the end of the muzzle & then recrowning it . This methord has been used!  Now without seeing the actual rifle I would'nt be able to tell if it was done by a comptant gunsmith or if it has been done by a "Backyarder " ! THe only way your going to find out how she shoots is to try it out!  If all else fails  just cut that section off  & get the muzzle recrowned  (helpfull hint just have a look down the muzzle & check to see that they've removed all the worn section of rifleing )
       The only timeI have ever eaten EMU was as a Kid when Dad used to get a young one & Mum would cook it slowly for about 10 hrs in the oven ! Never did much for me then ! Mum also used to get us to be on the look out for eggs (one  Emu Egg =8 Chcken eggs ) She used to make the Nicest Spounge cakes you've ever eatern! Of course she never seemed to worry that she was sending us Kids to face a certain Death getting said eggs away from the Father Bird !!!!!! Talk about throwing Christens to the lions Emu Farming was becoming a big thing over here ,but I've heard very little of it in recent years.

Hoadie we sat my boy up on one of the Emu's and hit his but to send him on his way ,......... Well the boy did a back role to the ground ! and i became the biggest a$$ hole in the world that day. even though i had already taken that trophy years ago, I had to accept it again. its an inherited thing from Mommas side of the famaly....
Ya know her side ??? was Muderers,,,,theives,,,,, AND Bootleggers!!!!!!! really Im not joking about that . My Dads side is more respectfull, More history that actually means some thing. It is really ,,,And really close to you ... Look In New York!!! (Old Flat Bush Area) a House. Look for the first and middel name ( Peter Clausen ............) and my last name. also if i would tell you my grandmothers name you would take that one back to a presadent that fought the British at the Battle of New Orleans.,,
then on to the the other side of the Pond to some one named Charles.,.,.,.,.,  Ive got the later part on disc hear at the house, my sister just gave it to me at my Neices wedding so i only glanced at it when i got home. but -- Yeuup there is some stuff in there about P... Charles and something about confinement and a tower.........
so maybe i will let you see it one day, Hey ya still coming down hear to show me how to shoot these Enfields? and what in the world is a Bevy?(A GROUP OF FINE YOUNG LADYS????) I hope ...

    Ive seen several examples of this over the years starting with what could be called extreme Crowning jobs of about 1/4 of a inch into the muzzle through to the first inch or so of a worn muzzle being counter bored . Now several of these were very well done & some of the others ? Well ...................A determened man with a demtral tool or Drill bit can do.........Well really horrible things to a rifle or hand gun
