Is this an actual everyday concern in Australia ?, (like we watch out for deer around here )

On a drive into town Bruce which is 30 kilometers we could easily see up to 10+ on the side of the road.
They do a lot of damage to cars, if a big one comes through your windscreen and its still alive and kicking and thrashing, you're in big trouble.
The feral deer population has exploded around my area and now they are also a huge problem driving at night.
There's no season on deer, you can spotlight shoot them at night and still their numbers are exploding.

I would assume that means that you eat a lot of venison and keep a freezer well stocked.

Is Kangaroo any good for eating and is it legal to hunt?

I actually have stories along those lines, but I'll judge the prudence of telling them, based upon your answer.

My great-grandma was around 85 and did an all-nighter at the casino, on her drive home she heard a loud crash and her windshield shattered. She pulled into a farm yard and asked to use the phone. When the cop showed up she told him “I think I hit a deer”, he goes “yes, it’s laying dead in your front seat”. She didn’t do a whole lot of driving after that…  :D

I don't blame your great-grandma Nick, that would have scared her.

Roo's are shot in their millions Daniel, mostly for commercial dog food processing.
Roo meat is sold in supermarkets and often on restaurant menus but is much harder for consumers to cook (much harder than venison) without drying it out and making it tough.

My sons are always out after deer, here's a recent one taken -

I like to cut venison medallions around 2" by 3" and in a hot skillet sear all sides in bacon grease and we all like it very rare -

Oh man does that look good Jim ... or on the BBQ with an "X" of bacon on top. Yeah, venison tends to be pretty lean, and I guess Roo does too!

Based on your delicious answer, I may go ahead and tell my tales of mystery, mystique and mayhem!?!?

It will require more than a bit of typing however, and with my hands, that could take some time. Perhaps I'd best start a different Off-Topic thread, and just link it back here, so I don't do any damage to your cool thread.
