Hare numbers are in "plague" proportions in central NSW Australia. Instead of seeing one or two a night there is 5-6 every hour in the light while reducing roo numbers.
It's frustrating when authorities don't do anything to help control pests. We have so much trouble with kangaroos, we used to have national parks come and assess our problem and they would say we can shoot 10-15 and they think the problem will be solved. The problem was they came to look between 9-5 when the nocturnal roos are bedded down and not seen. Luckily we got a local farmer in parliament and she eased the restrictions of shooting them.My city refuses to address our hare problem while family's feed them. I see multiples everywhere.

Have a few relatives scattered across Oz (Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania). Jake The Peg was one of my favorites as a kid. Found it absolutely hilarious.
For the folks who've never seen/heard/heard of it
Oof. Had no idea about that. I just remember listening to the songs in the 70s and 80s.How ya goin' cobber?
That's songs not so funny when you google Rolf Harris and see how his career ended.
I'm in a pretty good area, semi desert, so thankfully the mice haven't been a problem. We can keep the kangaroos at bay now we can shoot them, don't even get me started on the emus... I'll check out the YouTube channel and let you know if there truesonofwilfred I've read about the Australian kangaroo problem, the Emu problem, and now there is a mouse problem? Have you watched "thejuicemedia" youtube channel? I get a kick out of it, but if just 1/10th of what they say is accurate, I feel you aussies need a drastic parlimentary change.... my 2 cents.
I knew cassowaries were a thing in parts of Australia but never realized emus were as well.
I have a question for you guys, I was out looking at tracks to see what's moving after a rain event we had last week and I came across unusual tracks for here (central NSW Australia) and was wondering what you would think it was if you saw them in your neck of the woods?
how does kangaroo taste?It's frustrating when authorities don't do anything to help control pests.

Like wallaby.how does kangaroo taste?
There are fallow but not common. There are reports of Sambar and red deer as well over the years. And that's what I was hoping to hear that it was deer. Thanks.I'm not sure what hoofed game you've got down there. Doesn't seem rounded enough for a hog track, looks sharp-cut like a deer track. Any fallow deer right there?
Ok Timmy, do you know the smell a car has when there is a coolant leak? A distinctive hot smell, that my Irish wife says smells like a hot strong cup of tea. Well that's what large mature kangaroo, smells and tastes like (disgusting).how does kangaroo taste?
I'm not an expert on species, but this deer was on the farm a couple years ago. The fence in front of it is 4 feet tall. I would like to think it's what's around now. It Couldn't be the same exact animal on the farm because we ate that one, it was so nice.I'm not sure what hoofed game you've got down there.
