Neighbors have cows and goats adjoining the property, heck sometimes on my property. Might have to poach but lots of protein available. Fish and green vegetables are hard to come by right now.

(all about 4 minutes from my house) Guess I'd have to shoot a steer to avoid poaching.

Anything will grow here. There are no gardens and none of the "starving" people fish. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

You know, what fills the four hours before the warning says to see your doctor. I guess to continue, go fishing for perch. And to revert, go out and deal with a bunch of ice holes. And I haven't even had a drink tonight. Yet. The key elements in human thinking are not numbers but labels of fuzzy sets. -- L. Zadeh Which explains a lot.

This city floods at the drop of a hat, so there's lots of places along creeks you cannot build. The riparian corridors in San Antonio all have good numbers of deer and hogs, nearest one as close to 400 yards of my house. Other than that, dogs and cats all day long.

Within 30 minutes I would definitely have a few pigeons, maybe a duck or two hopefully wood ducks or teal and not a dam mallard, and some sunfish for sure and probably a crappie. If it were a bad situation and I wasnt concerned about being legal I could also get a turkey shot off the roost in a evergreen thicket on the way to my fishing hole that is also my duck and pigeon hole.

Or if I took a left on the way to the lake, I could raid my cousins feed lot for beeves.
