7. I do not see costs for a butcher to properly cut and wrap the meat.

I support hunting when it is for food, not for sport.

I never hunted big game, but I have shot birds(partridge) many years ago,

but my favorite source for real food was fishing.

I had to stop because I was financially strapped since a decade ago.

That changed recently, so I'll get my hunting(small game) and fishing licences renewed.

Won't go for large game(deer, moose, etc.,) until I have a freezer large enough to store it in, and arrange a butcher to carve and wrap the meat.
