I have said this several times but will say once again.If there is some sort of collapse or even if you lose your job etc.
Most people thinking of hunting to get food.Depending on size of your family,we are one or two people shooting at game.Not the best odds,unless 1. you are a skilled hunter. 2.very lucky. 3 game is plentiful.
If you have a family or group to feed I think trapping and fishing are the way to go! Once traps and or lines are set by all means pick up your rifle or shotgun and take off.
Trapping,steel traps,snares,box-live traps,rat traps for squirrels.
Fishing,again I am not talking one or two people with a pole in their hands. I am talking set lines,trot lines,traps,jug lines,etc.
If any of these ideas are new to you,check out you tube almost all are covered.Watching a video or someone who knows how to set traps is always better than a book.Some instruction books make no sense at all.
Fur-fish-game used to have some great little booklets on trapping,tanning,woodslore,etc very cheap.Used book stores,or go on line and print em out.
It is hard to believe people actually starve in America with the abundance of game we have.
Now unless there is a collapse of some sort Remember there are laws (lots of laws) and license's required to hunt trap or fish in Amerika. And I would never advocate that you break laws.However if I had to feed my family and I could not afford license's welll my family would get fed!
Just some thoughts I will leave the research up to you!
Be Prepared!

...yep,multiple lines and traps,increase yer odds exponentially...as an aside,a section of ordinary window screen can be used like a net for multiple small fishes that may be too small to catch any other way,don't forget underwater traps in small creeks/streams,crawdads,minnows etc(youtube)...calories are calories...
ReplyDeleteExactly! Ken you sound like me,I am a little picky at this moment the paycheck is still coming in,but if it stops everything in the creek is on the menu.Better keep them cats in the house too! Calories is Calories..

Hey Ken,as an aside on those small fishes (minnow size)or there abouts.One time in Miami my Bro in law (ex) took me fishing off a pier,and while we used rod n reels the Cubans were using hand lines,and then I saw one family with cast nets.I asked Bro if they were catching bait.He said no they grind em whole in a food processor and make some kind of fish paste.Sounded gross at the time,but big family well ya gotta feed em somehow!

I fear in a collapse situation game will become scarce in next to no time. At 46 I killed my first deer at 14 and I managed to bag a deer before my father who admitted that he never even saw deer until after I was born. He lived in a very rural area as well. They had been hunted that scarce and the human population was a small percentage of what it is today.
ReplyDeleteConservationist like to point at the numbers as testimony to their techniques but I wonder just how much the abundant wildlife today owes it's numbers to large scale commercial food production more than conservation planning.
I am sure the numbers will vary depending on location but some areas will be hunted out very quickly.
PioneerPreppy,you could be right.I used to quite bit in my teens an early tweenties.Honestly there was more small game in city's than in the boonies.Here in my suburban area a bit country a bit city I see deer weekly,rabbits and squirrels daily,foxes a couple times a month. I used to post that in most cases I would stay here because I know where the food is and most of these yuppies here have no idea of how to hunt or fish!
