Accidents happen, you really can't be held accountable if one jumps in front of your truck?

As long as your catcher doesn't cause it to come through your windshield.

"The whole town has been complaining about these kangaroos -- you can't drive down the street without swerving to miss them," he said.

Well then, quit swerving to miss them - problem solved!

[Hot Tabasco]

The region near the town of Mudgee had been overrun by kangaroos in recent years

Kinda like the overpopulation of deer here in S.E. Michigan. The only solution is to hit them with your car (over 60,000 annually) or shoot them.

Unfortunately they live in the wooded areas amongst subdivisions which makes them unavailable for shooting with either shotguns or bows..........Bad situation all around.

Lotsa places with similar problems and too close in to use rifles or anything noisy. EVERYBODY in the world should have at least one compound bow and know how to use it. That's the basic solution to such problems:

For people who live in the country, on farms, or ranches, dogs can be extraordinarily useful animals.

People need to quit swerving and go ahead and run over the SOB’s.

Oops...Captain Kangaroo...

Shoot, Shovel, Shutup. (Bone out & freeze first)

and I thought our wild deer were becoming a problem.

It was ten years ago when wifey and I were in Perth on seafood (lobster importer) biz, and we were invited to "the farm and winery" for the weekend, well inland....got to see tons of those pests bounding thru the vineyards and across the roads.

We were warned that were we to drive in the countryside (fat chance....wrong side of the road over there) at dusk to be on high alert for 'roos crossing.

“You got problems son.”

Or bizarre desires...

[Grizzled Bear]

I have two things to say to you.

1. You are one disturbed individual.

2. That is really freakin funny!

[Grizzled Bear]

Kinda like the overpopulation of deer here in S.E. Michigan.

I grew up the Detroit/Inkster area and I never saw Deer in the street.

I never saw very many stray dogs either...

[Grizzled Bear]

I’m confused. Are we supposed to “Tie Your Mother Down,” or “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport?”

[SeaWolf]

Fine Pistol, have one myself.

[FORTRUTHONLY]

Minus the weird hairdo :)

Whichever keeps your chewing gum from losing its flavor on the bedpost overnight.
