Although I wouldn't look down on the person that killed a deer out of season to feed his family in the short term during tough times I don't think that where someone lives justifies not going out and finding a job to better their family situation. There are many comments about families living up in the mountains with 8 kids to feed. If they can't support 1 child then why are they having 7 more? Teach some of those kids to hunt and go to the city yourself to get a job. When you have enough money to rent out a place then move your family in. Obviously this is very over simplified but there are people in the U.S. from many poor countries (much worse than anyone here has experienced) who's family saved enough money to send 1 person to America to get a job. They in turn send money back home to improve their situation and eventually send another family member here. These people manage to do it and they live half way across the world! I personally have been fortunate enough to have never been in that situation so I guess I'm not very qualified to respond to this but it is just a few thoughts I had. For those comments that said those that don't understand need to get out of the suburbs I would say maybe you need to get out of the woods and into the suburbs if times are that tough. There is a whole country of opportunity out there if you are that hard up.
