[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3085587, member: 109862"] But things like this are a good reminder that "wild" doesn't automatically mean "pure" or "natural". That used to always annoy my dad enough that he'd actually argue with people about it (and he's not an argumentative man), but all the other old guys in church claiming that because it was WILD meat the elk and deer and moose around here were for sure more natural, safer to eat than beef cuz "you don't know what they've done to it", organic, etc…. But the thing is all of those animals in this neck of the woods walk around eating whatever they want whenever it suits them, and they don't know that a field has been recently sprayed with herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides and theres no practical way to keep them from eating from said fields. Whereas our cattle were carefully prevented from eating anything like that, pasture grazing in the summer and in winter fed with hay that had NOT been sprayed with chemicals anytime remotely close to when they'd bale it up, if at all. So my dad would argue that sure, once they got To the big feedlots yes maybe some questionable things are done, but the beef we ate in our house was more NATURAL than ANY wild game around here, it almost certainly had to be. Nobody was ever really able to counter that argument because it's obviously true if you stop and think for a minute [/QUOTE]
