Hunting in a post - Apocalyptic World.

The topic tonight is hunting when your life depends on it. I've heard people say they are going to use slingshots, bows, traps, snares, spears etc. to feed themselves when the SHTF. Really? Your in for a long slow death by starvation. Unless you actively practice this on a regular basis, I highly recommend against it. Try to set a simple snare or trap and actually catch something worth eating. Just trying to build one your first couple of times takes more time and energy than you are ever going to get out of it. The modern bow has its uses, but again, unless you are proficient with it, I sure wouldn't count on eating much if that is your only means. Spears and slingshots I'm not even going to take the time to comment on.
If you want to be a successful hunter in a emergency situation, grab a copy of your states hunting laws. Now for every rule in those regulations, replace the words "Do Not" with the word "Do".
"Do Not hunt from sunset to sunrise." becomes "Do hunt from sunset to sunrise.". "Do Not hunt while using a spotlight." now becomes "Do hunt while using a spotlight.". Do load more than 3 shells in your shotgun. Do use bait and electronic calls. You get the drift?
Hunting regulations are written to give the animals a fair chance. In an emergency situation, you are going to need much more than just a fair chance if you want to eat.
Yes, trapping and snaring do have their advantages, especially for fish and small critters, but you have to know the exact how, where, and when to master it and be able to feed yourself. These are skills that take months to learn and years to master. In an emergency, you may not have months or years.
