when your food runs out

[Mortblanc]

Just a thought;

I have secured more food this year while protecting my plantings and chickens than in the actual pursuit of game!

Use the garden and the livestock as bait. Eat the game that harasses you stock and ruins your garden.

While the term "foraging" is used in GB as searching for plants in hedgerows, in the U.S. it is defined as taking targets of opportunity for the stew pot as well as greens/mushrooms/fruit of the countryside.

Each and every trip out the door should be a harvest effort with the eyes constantly open and a weapon in hand for targets of opportunity.
