"We plan," is Cougar's serious response, because he's been working at it with the chickens and rabbits to the point that he feels secure so long as the numbers don't go above a hundred. If they do, then there will be a problem. "I have chickens and a rooster. I have eggs, but also little chickalings," he explains. "Enough to feed. Then, I raise rabbits for the same."

It has none of the thrill and the joy of hunting, but it's steady, dependable food. It keeps them alive.
