Also, there are some states/municipalities where such practice is illegal.
Thus, the ND shire up in Grand Forks can serve the results of the hunt at
a feast, but in Minnesota I cannot, and if I read the law correctly, not

Ah, the joys of living in a state that is almost as legislation-happy as
the Midrealm...
