If you're bow hunting stick a couple arrows with Zwickey Super Judos on them in your quiver. I'm not much of a slingshot shooter either but I've been know to shoot small game with my bow. Or pack a 22, I had an old Stevens single shot I cut the barrel off at 16.25" and sawed the stock down to koddy dimensions that I shot piles of ptarmigan with. It and a box of shells weighed about 3.75lb and it was the same length as my pack frame, bungee that sucker on my pack and go.
