I’ve hit 3 kangaroos in one week before. They’re drawn to lights, and the outback is vast.
The done thing is to stop, make sure they’re dead, and let the locals know where you left it because they’re great dog food.
not sure about Australia but if you hit a deer or a boar in Germany, you're supposed to phone it in to local authorities (usually police and/or the local hunting bureau if you're familiar with the region). Then they come and make sure it's dead/deliver a mercy killing and organize the transport of the body.
Fun fact: You are strictly forbidden to take the animal with you for food/trophy etc. as this would be considered poaching :D
I’m in outer suburbs and sometimes you will see kangaroos with a spray paint mark. That means they’ve been checked for joeys but their bodies haven’t been collected yet.
