I have no way of knowing whether you are being serious, or are joking around?

I will throw out my thoughts on what you posted anyway......

I do not, for any reason, buy the feeding the family excuse. EVER

If you are truly that impoverished that you need to illegally shoot deer to provide a meal for your family, here is a novel suggestion.........

Sell your hunting gear. Guns, bows, etc.

Spend half of the proceeds at the local grocery store.

Spend the other half putting gas in the tank to go hunting......a JOB!

Once you have worked hard enough, and long enough to comfortably provide for your family, then go buy what hunting gear you can afford.

That has long been my opinion, and I am sticking to it.

BTW, I am not so old that I cannot remember when that was pretty much how my own life was.......[]
