“You have to travel hundreds of miles anymore to find a place to hunt, often out-of-state, and states charge non-residents far more than residents. By the time you factor in all of the costs, you probably are paying more than $100 per bird and $25 per lb (or more) for venison. I can get the best steak at the local mkt for far cheaper than that.”

I guess I’m lucky.I walk out my back yard and there’s deer, grouse, wild turkey...etc...
Hell, the apple trees in my side yard are a constant hangout for deer.
We’re over run here in Ct with deer.
Yeah, but can you pop off any of this game? The hills around So. Cal are loaded with deer, black bear, cougar, racoons, opossum, pheasant, quail, dove, cottontail, etc. However, there are housing tracts everywhere now and there only a few areas where you can legally discharge a firearm.
