Well you can save your sheckels and buy a 50 lb. sack of carrots for $4.99 at your local livestock feed store. Then you start trading bags of your carrots with your friends and neighbours, for small leftover portions of moose meat or venison or smoked salmon from their freezer or some of their apples to replace the ones the bear stripped from your tree. Works for me. And boy, oh boy, do I have some variations on carrot soup.

And you'd be surprised how much meat you can get from chicken backs and necks.
