Yeah, I was kidding. I typed all of that out as a huge joke.

I don't know how much you eat or how big your family is, but a limit of fish [if caught] isn't going to feed an average family for more than a meal. Put a deer in a man's freezer and he'll eat for a month, which gives that family plenty of time to get back on their feet.

What would help that family get back on their feet is the guy getting a job to pay the bills and getting food from a food pantry instead of being in the woods poaching. If he's not in the woods poaching it gives him that much more time to make money like the rest of the us do! What would happen if the guy gets caught poaching, how would a big hefty fine help the family get on their feet, one needs to keep a sensible head!
Agreed! Although I have never been in the situation that deer meat is a necessity, thank goodness. I don't know that poaching is the answer. There are always jobs available for flipping burgers (I'm not saying anything bad against this job I'm just saying they are available)
