What do people hunt in your area, I would guess this is the answer.


Here people fish lake Erie a lot and never seem to have a problem. Whitetail deer are also heavily hunted as are rabbits, waterfowl and to some extent squirrel.

Probably the exception to this is pest shooting & varmint hunters rarely eat their kills, they do it because it’s fun to shoot. I know a lot of woodchuck hunters in this area (I’m one of them) but not one of them eat woodchuck. I don’t think there is anything wrong with eating them, but is just doesn’t seem to happen.

Go to a gun shop that caters to hunters and ask questions. Almost all parts of the country have animals that are hunted and eaten.
