Also, to be honest with only two hunters as the supply of protein in the setting (Delfi does not contribute his stock to the town anymore, but even with him helping this point would remain the same) we'd be running out of meat very, very quickly here. Assuming everyone eats 4oz (133 grams) of meat (3oz being the required daily serving for a healthy adult to get all of their protein needs, 4oz being a rounder number for calculation purposes), we'd be going through almost 7 lbs (3 kg) of meat per day in the setting with the 27 mouths accounted for.
Average amount of meat you're going to get from large game is something like 60 lbs (27.2 kg) of meat from a fully grown white tail buck, 30 lbs (13.6 kg) from a healthy doe, 15 lbs (6.8 kg) from a fawn.
Average amount of meat from small game like rabbit is really going to be around 1-3 lbs (0.4 kg - 1 kg) of meat.
Two or even three hunters can't cut feeding this setting. Without ranches or shepherd with cattle villages like ours in the setting can and -will- starve. One full grown hog gives you around 160 lbs (72 kg) of meat if you want to compare that to your wild deer. One full grown cow will give around 430 lbs (195 kg) of meat after butchering.
Granted, there are larger game out there. Like Moose, mammoth breeds of stags that give hundreds of pounds of meat like that, but are they even common in the setting?
We need ranchers, tl;dr, and we should have starved by now.
