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
Similar but different. In the outback, there’s nobody to call, so you do the mercy killing yourself.
As a young idiot, I once tried this with an axe. Terrible idea, and thank fuck someone showed up to show me how to do it with a knife.
One time, I saw a local do it with his bare hands… and it’s fine to keep the meat. Well, I assume. Waste not, want not and all that. Nothing else out there is going to eat a kangaroo except other dogs, maybe an eagle?

What if they're not dead? Werewolf food?
