When deer wasting disease became endemic, I stopped even WANTING to eat wild venison. Before that, I enjoyed it off and on. And I hung with hunters so I got a share of it from time to time. Just the right amount. My main take on “hunting for the table” is that it’s generally more expensive than just buying meat. Think of the vehicle, Think of the rifle. Think of the hunting gear. Think of all that TIME. Of course if it’s really “hunting as recreation” with a side of “and we can eat some if we kill it” then it’s fine. I go out picking berries, for instance.
