I'd bet a typical westerner has never eaten wild mammal meat.

I expect the statement in born from the misconception that "game" meat as found in restaurants and for sale is from wild animals, when it is actually farmed.

It is quite common here to shot deer to keep it under control and it gets sold to local butchers.

At least in germany.

My father is also a hunter.

If we assume that about the bison and venison I have had over the years, it has been at least over a decade for me. Not sure if we farm muskrats.

At least in Austria there is a game season (hunting is quite big) and game meat is in abundance.
