Kangaroos anyone ???

Dubbed “Project Sage Hopper” by the WWGD team responsible for evaluating the viability of Wyoming’s habitat for Australian marsupials, it has been in the planning stages for 3 years. The goal is two-fold: Create new and interesting wildlife viewing opportunities for tourists, and in several years, potentially provide additional hunting opportunities.

I don't know how I feel about this. Introducing non-native species is always fraught with unintended consequences. Just wait until they form roaming gangs in Cheyenne. :rolleyes:

Kangaroo hats will sell well.

Non native species can be horrible for the ecosystems they are released into, but if they can find a niche without becoming destructive, the more the merrier. I had kangaroo meat a few times when I visited Australia, and I really enjoyed it. I'd love to have it as a regular option at the grocery store or in my deep freeze after a hunting trip.

In my experience if you like deer, you will like kangaroo.

Fairly tasty. Had kangaroo tartar.

I was worried about them accidentally hopping on a jackalope. Jackalopes are the Lego pieces of the western prairie. It could have been bad.

They're already a terrible hazard to skiers at Jackson Hole.

Well that's what I get for not reading the article. It's too bad though. Kangaroo really is quite tasty.

My mother in law was talking about this today. First thing I asked was if she heard it yesterday bc it sounded like it had April fools written all over it...

My mom is from Casper WY. I had a Jackalope mount in my house growing up.

I shared the Wyoming DNR site news post on this... and added it was for wolf control... my left-leaning friends and family lost their minds...
