Matt and I are meat eaters, but we've never had to kill for our own meat....well, cuz we haven't had to! My one closer neighbor is a Hunter, mostly deer, moose, and bear, not the Grouse or wild turkey or duck or geese or other birds here....
But if the proverbial Shit Hit the Fan situation ever did occur, Maine has plenty of wildlife to sustain us, let alone the halibut, salmon, and lobster, and clams....
We have just on our property, turkey, grouse (which looks like a chicken), mallard ducks, Canadian geese that fly over spring and fall, rabbit...snow shoe hares actually, bear and deer galore. Then the sea is just a mile, so the seafood....
But, I could never, nor could Matt, eat deer or bear unless perhaps on deathbed from starvation....because we've befriend them over the 17 years here in Maine!
In fact we are waiting for our bear to show up, this is her first stop after hibernation, since she was a baby cub!
