I also recommend visiting this website if you have any questions. This website goes into lots of detail on the variety of meats, prices of meat store bought, and tables of the previous along with weights of the animals and meat yield of the animals listed. "The condition from which wild game is harvested is much cleaner, environmentally safer, and healthier than its domesticated counterparts. As an added bonus, the general worry about injected hormones, toxins, steroids, and additives are eliminated. What you harvest is safe for your body. Now your food is as organic and local as it gets. Not to mention, the pursuit of game requires some level of active participation which forces you to live a more involved lifestyle as you pursue your food." So, in the end, it is more sustainable, healthier, and more economical to hunt and fish for your meat versus purchasing them from the store. What are you waiting for? Grab your pack and get outside!" https://www.wideopenspaces.com/7-reasons-harvesting-deer-better-grocery-store-meat/ The link above gives seven reasons why eating wild harvested meat is better for you. This is a good explanation of why harvesting your own meat is a good thing. With this I don't only mean deer meat, I mean turkey, wild hog, dove, duck, goose, I say this because all of this came from the wild and if you take that animals life with a plan to eat it there is no harm or damage done because the animal didn't feel any pain, and it also explains that if you kill the animal, clean the animal, and cook the animal you know who has touched it, what has been done to it, and how it was packaged. I say this because with a cow that came from the slaughter house might have been hung up for a couple days before anything was done to it. Above is what happens at slaughter houses, hundreds of cows are herded into small corrals before single filing into a bolt gun where they are painlessly killed, but are put through lots of stress, being put through that stress releases cortisol and adrenaline, which taints the meat Above is a mature whitetail buck that is in an open field with NO stress being put on him, the reason I say this is Fear causes stress, and stress releases cortisol and As your body perceives stress, your adrenal glands make and release the hormone cortisol into your bloodstream. Often called the “stress hormone,” cortisol causes an increase in your heart rate and blood pressure which can ruin the meat on the animal.
