   I'd suggest sticking to herbivores rather than
   carnivores/omnivores. You could live on bear,
   but you'd dream of beef, lamb, chicken ......

   Oh, it IS tasty ! But still - COOK IT WELL !!!
   There were REASONS some of the old religions
   forbade pork.

   Had a .44 Mag lever carbine - it was ideal for
   boar in dense brush ... strong enough and easy
   to whip around real quick. The boar hunts YOU
   as much as you hunt IT. I think someone offers
   a .50 S&W carbine/handgun combo now, but only
   use the handgun if you want fused wrists in
   yer old age  :-)
