I can tell you proudly that I have never eaten a wild animal, and would have to be pretty damn hungry to do so! I do know people that eat anything that crawls...these are the real rednecks-

What on earth are all the guns for, then?
Here's a cultural difference, it seems - I'm Swedish, many people here, especially in the country, own firearms; but it's only for hunting. I've never even held a gun or rifle in my life, but I eat quite a lot of wild game; mostly moose, because my family owns some land further to the north, I have relatives who hunt and while the hunting rights are rented out to hunting teams (standard practice, although interested landowners are part of the teams, of course), we always get our share as landowners; but also deer, reindeer and sometimes wild boar. It's great food, and ethically I prefer it, too; at least with wild game I know that the animal has led a good life out in the wild, hasn't been shipped anywhere alive and hasn't been through industrial slaughter.
