When did hunting Peacocks become a thing?

Me and my son just finished a episode of MeatEater on YouTube, they were hunting turkey’s in Hawaii. The mustache guy took down a Peacock instead of a turkey. I get the no natural predators, but it’s a Peacock, how much damage to the ecosystem are they doing compared to the other animals that have been introduced?

I would think no more than a turkey. They are a beautiful bird and I would shoot the shite out of them if there was a wild population. I’m not going to shoot a tamed bird.

I guess that’s where I’m coming from. Growing up they were tamed birds and I just didn’t think of them as wild birds like a turkey.

Peacock problem in Florida
They have a solution or we could just shoot them

It’s a big thing in New Zealand but then again they do things way differently than we do so take that for what it’s worth. My 2 cents is that they weren’t good enough to kill a Hawaii rio so they stumbled upon a peacock and spun the episode to make it look like he did such a great thing for “conservation”

When they figured out how to get'em in a pressure cooker.

I’ve seen a video of a guy hunting them in New Zealand using dogs. It didn’t look any different than pheasant hunting, aside from the fact that he was standing on a very steep slope.

I did hear they were really good to eat

why wouldn't you hunt them?
It's a big arse bird, bound to be tasty.

All I now is they have one of the loudest and obnoxious calls of any bird I know. Good riddance...

like the said in the ME episode, its just a turkey on drugs
and they also said it tasted delicious, so why not hunt it?

I’m in SE Alabama and a few years ago at one of the places I can hunt there were 2 big males with long sharp spurs. They would hang around the barns and roost right by the farm house. One day around lunch I was by the barn and yelped down into the bottom and a bird gobbled. He gobbled again 5 minutes later and one of those damn peacocks ran past me straight to that bird and ran him off.
