For most of us-no,the meat isn't when there grocerystores on every other block.For me personally,I'd rather eat venison than beef.I like the way it tastes,it's healthier and I get great satisfaction knowing my time outdoors will provide for my family.If I were a better wing shot,I wouldn't buy chicken,either.I can't see that beef is cheaper-a bullet costs me .75cents and I butcher my own.
