>How long does it take to hunt a fat emu?
since they are sitting on the nest, not much time at all.

>But how *shure*
sure. your spelling is rather annoying.

>and how *often* could a fat emu be found?
since its estimated there were more emus than aborigines back then, no
shortage.

>Not only for one human, but for a band of, say 20 persons.
a good emu would feed 30 or 40, not 20.

>Would it be enjoyable to depend so much on hunting luck?
not luck, skill. thats why they've been around for so long. they were also
expert fishermen, bird snarers and egg collectors. the skill of aboriginal
trackers is legendary. wonder how they got it?
