Sarah Engstrand is a Freelance writer, editor, and Public Relations consultant for restaurants in Hong Kong.  She covers many subjects in her writing, and lots of exotic locations.  She undertook the task of writing about hunters and their wild game harvest.  With the quick development of the covid virus pandemic and soon after, a meat shortage, her story took a slight turn to how the shortage had little effect on folks who are self-reliant when it comes to meat.  Not only was she able to grasp what we do as hunters and why we do it, but that it doesn’t go without a lot thought and concern for the game we chase.  She had understanding of seasons and tags, but was enlightened to how much conservation plays into our lifestyle.  She also found it fascinating, as small of a community that hunters and anglers makeup of the whole population, we are semi separated into our own “tribes” of thoughts on what animals to take.  None of this is news to those who hunt and fish.  However, folks who do not are feeling the effects of these shortages, and are taking notice of that having connection where their food comes from might be something they change in their own lives.
