Dougy Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Extinct in this country for 185 years, and at the cost of probably thousands of pounds and hundreds of thousands of hours spent rearing them. And all you want to do is have one for Christmas dinner. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospero Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Well they probably weren't hunted for the difficulty in hitting one, they are that big! I reckon they would go well with roasties and gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Apperently they were hunted to extinction because they are very tasty. Wouldn't mine one southern fried with all crispy on the outside with a nice spicy relish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 It begs the question why bother though? If they've not been here for nigh on 200 years what are they actually going to bring to the environment/ecosystem? They do look tasty though.

SuperGoose75 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Extinct in this country for 185 years I'm lead to believe that it is 179 years to be precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
