I don't hunt myself but my father has since my earliest memory, and my
brother-in-law in Idaho hunts and fishes. My family always had 2 freezers
when I was growing up, and the meat was a big part of our diet, and saved
on the grocery bill. Yes, my father enjoyed going out with the guys and
having a good time, but still, it was important to the family. I have eaten
deer, bear, elk, pheasant, duck, sage grouse and probably a couple of
others I have forgotten about... and loads of trout of various types, I
remember some summer meals nothing but trout and corn on the cob.
Sheer heaven.
I would like to see anyone who wants to hunt be able to continue. I
do think maybe they can work with the powers that be to more
closely regulate herd counts, etc., but I believe that it can happen.
And hey, Dixiespurgirl, you can ship me that deer roast whenever
you're ready!!
