I say again, too proud to ask assistance or work an odd job, but not too proud to steal!!?? Or even worse, send your kid out to steal for you!!!!
Something is very, very wrong here!

Also if they would have a dozen deer tags, they should be able to get enough meat in season to last the year!

No matter how you look at it, there is just no way to justify this theft!
Nor to excuse the parents irresponsibility!
This is not even close to being a matter of survival!
