Just wait until we have a real meat shortage. Hunting will become even more popular.

Yes but it may not last long.

Everyone will have the same idea and those with the equipment and skills to harvest and process animals will be hard at it.

After a few months to a year, maybe, depending on the area, a person may have to walk a long way to find something for the frying pan.

Hunting during the Great Depression severely impacted the game population. Deer hunting was banned around here until 1951. It came back slowly with strict permit quotas.

The past few years the state of Wisconsin has allowed me to take two bucks and either 8 or 9 does depending on the year. No application or drawing required, I just pays my money and I gets that many “harvest authorizations”. Two deer is plenty for our needs until the next year, so that’s where I stop, and some years only one.

We recently became experienced at pressure-canning meat for long-term storage though. Our first attempt went well. So maybe this fall I’ll take one or two extra and put them in pint jars. Lasts for years that way, no refrigeration required.
