That is an AWESOME article!

I wonder how hungry city people will have to be before they get over being squeemish about taking the life of their food? (Or most country people, for that matter.)

The plastic wrap in the supermarket has removed us from what we need to survive - the ability to take the life of an animal, appreciate it, be thankful for it - and then get over it.

Lots of Urban Deer in Columbus.
Car accidents have always been a problem.

There are lots of parks and backyards where the critters hide out.

Good article. I keep thinking about a Goose for thanksgiving dinner. ;D

That article was quite good, IMHO. I enjoyed the humor. And I liked reading what was really behind his desire, or lack of it at times, to hunt in urban areas.

As with David in OH, there are a lot of park area around where i live. Even in Our storm water management ponds, have frogs and geese. They also are great game attractors. My work site is presently "disturbing" 30 acres of woods a lot of deer going to be displaced (i see a lot of tracts).

when they are hungry they will get over any squeamishness mighty fast, I think you can forget aobut hunting, how many squirrels do you think there are? they will be gone fast, so will cats and dogs, rats become a delicacy, whoever can will go out in the country and "hunt" cows, goats, you name it. be careful, desperate folks do desperate things.

Our Belgian neighbors (have lived in the U.S. for 40 years) tell us that sparrows are considered a delicacy in "the old country."

;D Well to the guy who's going to have Goose for Thanksgiving, you had better get five or six if you have very many to feed. The only part of the goose that's fit to eat is the brest. Very small amount of meat for such a large bird. To bad we can't eat the feathers & the honk ! ;)
