yep, i would only body shoot one with the .223
unless you connect with a thigh bone,
i would still expect some "post emu" zip on the round
you could prolly bait them into a paddock with dog food
but i think you need 5-6 foot fences to keep them contained
at least they are not cassowarys!

"PAWS stated that they would not respond to this incident until Monday due to the fact that the last officer who attempted to pick up an emu ended up being hospitalized from injuries sustained during the fight," Jenks wrote in a police report.
Fearing the bird would harm dogs or neighborhood children, Jenks fired three shots into its torso. The emu kept running about 20 feet before collapsing and then Jenks fired two more shots to finish it off, according to his report.
