for those of you that want to report him, i have to disagree. family story here:
my grandparents had a farm here in vt., and raised 16 kids. while i am not certain how many kids they had when this was going on, it must have been quite a few. starting around august, every two weeks either my grandfather or one of the boys would have to go out, and shoot a deer, so that the family could have meat for the table. this went on for a very long time, and i would be fairly certain even over the period of a few years( guessing about that.). now one day, the neighbor came up to see what the shooting was that she always heard. my grandfather told her straight out what was going on. she asked what kind of gun he had, and left. she returned later with ammo for the gun, telling him that while she disapproved of poaching, she understood that he was only putting food on the table for his family. now, the boys didn't grow up to be outlaws, and there were eleven of them, so the story that some of you had suggested that start with small game, then 7-11, just doesn't hold water, at least in this case. you might be surprised at the boys story, it could be very similar to my family's. and as far as assisstance goes, believe me, it doesn't go very far. keep track of your own grocery bill some month, and then take half of that, and try to shop, for a month's worth of food for your family. take out most of what you have stored away first. on the second or third week tell me if you are tired of grilled cheese or macaroni every day. been there, done that, dropped a deer, and i wasn't even on assistance, but holding down a full time job! a friend of mine asked me why, and i had to tell him" you know, i just couldn't take macaroni and cheese any more". and i sure as heck wasn't living beyond my means, hell, i didn't even have a bed, just an eggshell cushion on the floor. so, reserve judgement unless you know the entire story.
