From the article:

> When I asked Jody how much of his family’s meat is wild game, he initially said “about half.” Upon reflection, he bumped the number to 70 percent.

Doesn't sound like this is a justification for "culture" or "tradition". Certainly seems a lot more responsible than the average "tradition" of "I got it at the grocery store".

When you hunt for your own food, you are forced to consider the sacrifice of the animal and have to put in the work of preparing for the hunt and cleaning the animal. Things that anyone who's not done this takes for granted when they eat meat.
