Honest question....

If things got that bad it wouldn't take that long. The first night I went to bed hungry would be the last. Anything made out of meat would be getting shot.

I have known a few older ranchers in Mills county that killed deer, on their property, year around for protein. This was in the late 50's and early 60's in Mills county. Nobody thought anything about it back then. Just feeding your family.

My great-grandad was doing it in Nacagdoches in the late 80s.

If it got that bad, something is severe and food is serious. Protection comes to mind. And in the same scenario, shoot for food careful aim as that ammo might be an important commodity. My family and those around me will be cared for if at all possible.

I know a guy that does that in okie land.

If things are ever bad enough that we can't get ammo I ain't gonna be using ammo. I'll get me a baseball bat and go get some food. Cats,dogs,raccoons,snakes,turtles, badgers,porcupines,new born fawns and calves will be on the menu. I know plenty of good trapping spots as well. Drinkin water, a knife,fire and a baseball bat is all I'd realistically need if I was ever that bad off. At that point I'd think the game warden would be out lookin for food too.

By that point you will be shooting people on site, because they will have fled the metro areas by the millions, hunting food.
Droves of wild society combing the land for anything edible .
Not to mention, way before we get to that point, game wardens will have quit enforcing the law.
He may show up at your fire with 4 bald eagle drumsticks for trade.

After the first month of SHTF, those will be the wariest, fastest, rarest, purely nocturnal animals, on earth

A friend of mine (now passed on) was cutting brush on his farm in north west Missouri in late January when a spike buck came by him. He said it stumbled and broke it's neck. I said Gomer you know it isn't deer season? He said hell Gary I feed them year round and I'll kill one for the freezer when I want.
Miss that old fella.

I’ve got plenty in the freezer! I’ll run out of stuff to make with it long before i run out of meat.

[CabezaBlanca]

You own land and it’s covered up in deer/hogs. The wackos are buying up everything in your local grocery stores. When does shooting a deer out of season on your property for meat go from poaching to just getting something to eat?

I’d be more inclined to use coyote snares on deer trails than to hunt with a projectile. It’s quiet and they don’t run off.

[Atfulldraw]

Game wardens will be really busy with other law enforcement duties.

Courthouse and the jails will be full of bigger fish to fry if it gets that bad.

[BTLowry]

Some of you would bail off your high horse real fast if it was a real life decision and not a hypothetical

If I get hungry I am shooting whatever edible animal gives me the first opportunity

Shoot a rabbit first?
I see more deer than rabbits here so I am not letting a deer walk by, but I am not letting a rabbit have a pass if it comes along first either

I would most likely let a nasty ol possum have a pass and hope for something better though
