Big strong predator that sucks at hunting so much that they need to lure the deer to stand directly in front of their gun.

At that point you're not even a hunter, you're a slob that might as well be ordering from a menu. Pathetic.

The expense does not end after you shoot the bullet...

What, butcher paper and freezer electricity?

The poor who subsist on game and garden butcher their own animals. My stepfather's elk tag fed my family of 11 for six months of the year, and gave him his one personal break per year. Plus, we weren't eating meat drenched in chlorine or fed on trash. He never used shit like in the OP's pic, though.

To your point, he hunted on horseback so feed for the horse probably evened out the savings over time. I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, just that the argument around hunting is more nuanced than most of the conversation in the replies.

Transportation, skin, hang, age, butcher, freeze (including buying the freezer), dispose of or process the parts you're not eating. It's all part of a curated lifestyle, not a poverty decision.

I'm not sure what nuance you're referring to this is an actually simple topic.
