Apparently, Wallaroos are rather dangerous opponents:
I never heard of “Wallaroos” either.
Do they have Kangabees, as well?
I don’t know, but I’m staying out of that corner of the county for a while. Luckily, my job hardly requires me to visit the Greater Alva Metropolitan Area.
Wrong tool and wrong attitude. Should have first tried to coax him with a biscuit jointer.
Am I reading this right?
They shot it from 60 yds away, feeling threatened because it would not retreat?
60 yds seems a long way off, couldn’t they just run away or stay well away?
Maybe I’m confused, I am aware it’s a powerful animal capable of deadly blows and all, but from 60 yds?
I think it means that the second encounter happened 60 yards away from the first one, not the the Wallaroo was 60 yards away. He’d have been unlikely to hit it with a pistol at that range unless he was really taking his aim.
I dunno. There is a saying that “The wallaroo that stands up will get hammered down.”
I remember reading about Vanilla Ice’s wallaroo.
That’s too bad. Think of all the wonderful events you’ll miss out on because you can’t get to Alva. Like, say, the “sit on the porch and see who can spit farthest” contest.
