and bulk buying might help ??

No kids at all,, but a walk in with couple 1/2 beefs hanging, along with 1/2  ton potatoes-vegies, small dairy, 1 acre vegie patch instead of lawn they can take care of may help ??

Good hunting skills and lots of ammo ?? 

Work a deal with the state on those who poach deer, etc.. with their trusty fords ??

 At one time State Game Dept gave all "special kill permit harvests" road poachers, etc.. to the County Jail..   I was the designated "meat cutter"/C.O.  I field dressed 9 elk and hauled them to the meat cutter in 7 hours.... Entire meat cost to county for entire year for a 60 bed jail was under $9,000.  Yah,, and the inmates pizzed and moaned cause they had to eat elk,deer, instead of cow hamburger...  Yes,, all the game was USDA inspected before cutting/wrapping..
