Has anyone or does anyone know of a person here in the U.S. that had to fight his way out of LEGAL hunting situation where he needed multiple high capacity mags or died because they had exhausted the ammo for their standard hunting rifle or shotgun?

Actual experience or documented knowledge, not "I know a guy whose cousin" kind of story.


Well I can tell you about a guy up northern CA way, steelhead fishing who cut through an area looking for access. He was approached by a dude with an AR who pointed it at him and asked for his wallet. Took the driver's license out and studied it then handed it back to him and called him by his first and last name. Told him not to come back or think about making any calls.
He never did see what the guys was protecting, pot, meth lab, who knows. He complied, figured he didn't want to deal with the ramifications of reporting it.
