But at the end of the day, there are many perfectly able people who deer hunt without even seeing a deer out in the field let alone harvest one every season. What u are trying to do is gambling, there is a good possibility that you may not harvest a deer and be in a worse situation than u currently are. There are food shelfs that can help you if needed, I suggest giving them a call.
they are only good to about 50 yards and none of the pawnshops available to me sell guns . And the one that might have a gun, I am banned from, because I kept reporting them for selling stolen city property in which the city was able to recover.
Not been our family experience. we are over populated here. when I was bow hunting the day went solo saw over 40 of them problem is they were out of reach of the bows range. I pointed out I need accuracy and range of a rifle but it has to be a 12 ga. basic 870 doesn't fit that bill. a cheap right handed bolt action doesn't either, I am a lefty. and repairing a lefty is a pain in the ass.
But then whether I could afford this gun or not was never even up for discussion. Been saving for a year combined with tax return add trading a few items from my old life i got it covered.
What this whole debacle was about is making sure I get the "RIGHT" gun, I asked for, from a online gun-store, when my experience here with the 3 local ones all told me they had it only to get there and they would show the wrong gun
Actually the food shelves can't help either if they have no food or little food to give. 4 out of 5 times I go there I leave empty handed. in the last year I have gone 6-7 months with nothing from them. The churches that give out meals from the food donated by restaurants I can't eat, due to food additive toxicity level, being to high for my body to handle, that I wind up in the hospital. You and I both do not want that.
I beg to differ did you not see my comment regarding give a fish, eat a day .teach him to fish, eat a life time? Knowing how to hunt makes all the difference. Party hunting increases your odds. Just going to a patch of land and setting up a stand of course there is a good chance you will not get anything. key is scope ahead. find out where the deer are hanging out regularly. I got the advantage of farmland all around with plenty of water, and woods. heck there lot of deer right here in the city limits, too bad can't hunt them. in 5 years our family only failed to fill 1. my bow permit. and school/work was in the way from me being out there every day during the season. butchering your own deer is fun. its food and biology class roiled in one
can be a little gross though, especially when the meat hadn't been aged. with the exception of the deer my father let age too long. lets just say they had to burn the shed to sterilize it.
Insane view points how so? what is insane about my view points? If I do have insane view points what are they and how are they insane? Isn't kind of insane of accusing someones view points as being insane without supporting your own view as to why they are insane?
read here for example of proper Etiquette of calling someone view point insane and backing your view of it. note the first post and the second post.

Following is just general stuffOnly real reason I went off topic was to address some of the one lines That were simply off the mark about some actions was taking on my part. One fault I know I have is I like to debate especially devils advocate so to speak. talking different angles etc. Some of the angles I speak from are not necessarily the ones I follow in real life with action. In the end its justice and fairness I seek, Not hand outs or revenge. If I wanted handouts, I would not have mentioned anything about hunting and demanded that you give me everything I need to survive and live in relative comfort.
Think about what social responsibility is. If you truly understand what that is, then you may understand some of the points I make, that may seem a little out there. If we are a society then we all have a responsibility to one another and the failure to uphold that responsibility is the collapse of society..
If we are not a society, then its "dog eat dog" and screw thy neighbor, left and right, so I can have ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING i want or would ever desire..
I try to practice social responsibility every day, example I gave a cantaloupe to a neighbor who has even less than I do, on sunday. Yesterday held door open for a guy in power chair to get into kwik trip (everyone, except I, wouldn't acknowledge him). Last Saturday, I offered and carried a bag of meat from the farmers market to a lady's car, because she was over burdened with a heavy load , total stranger. This all occurs in the little time that I get out of my apartment.
How many times a day do you help others , that is not necessary for your job?
OK people probably wonder why I write long posts.... I am use to chat rooms, years ago (MSN chat rooms as example) where ideas and thoughts could be share rapidly. Since that doesn't happen in a forum like this, I tend to have a conversation in my head beyond that of what is posted by others due to time it takes to get responses back. If this was a chat room, my posts would be short like the rest of yours and be based on what is actually being said by others with little sidetracking if at all.
I get stuck in debate mode, with this kind of format, and I apologize for it.
