Well, just to play devil's advocate, I agree with you MOSTLY GR8atta2d. What if we are talking the difference between steak and just meat? In this area, there is no lack of squirrel or goose. I have had squirrel before. It is actually pretty good in pot pie. I would legally fill my freezer with meat (even in a poor deer season). Do you see my point? Obviously, it is easier and probably cheaper (one shell versus several) to do it with deer. Just a thought. I certainly would not take NEEDEDfood off a man's table though.
