If you consume meat, then think about hunting to save money. My eldest child just called to inform me that she just signed-up for our local Conservation Department's Hunting Course. WOW! She's following some of my advice from homeschool lessons. She's going to take the archery skills that I and her Father taught her and use them to save money on her grocery bill! Proud parent!
She's already found that if you hunt in your own state , that buying a resident license is cheaper than hunting out of your home state. She also knows she must pay for a butcher to handle the meat carving or do it herself. Deer are small enough to butcher at home if you have experience, time, help, enough cool weather and a large freezer. I have helped home butcher a hog, a deer, chickens, rabbits and fish. It can be done.
You do need to learn some things about butchering BEFORE you attempt this though. Go to your local county extension office or the Internet and research. You need to know how to determine if the animal's liver is diseased and never, never to use the brain- not even for tanning hides unless it's the Apocalypse and you have nothing else. There's a correct way to butcher an animal so don't WASTE the animal by doing it wrong. Ever see the movie "
Into The Wild " ? Perfect examples of what NOT to do.... sorry but that guy didn't research a thing.
What's that? You say you 'did the math' and it costs the same as buying meat at the lcoal grocery store.... I'd much rather 'trust ' WILD meat than what's at the local food mart - really..... You have no idea and don't want to know. Why do you think we have so many virus outbreaks? Now you have more movies to watch. :) EDUCATE yourself!
